The truck was brought closer to the asphalt using Firestone 2500 front air bags and 2600 rear air bags on a de-arched mono leaf setup. The truck gets up and down by way of 15mm SMC valves with Front, back, and side-to-side motion. The rear had to tuck 20 inch KMC Venom wheels so wheel tubs were used in the bed along with step notch cover to keep it clean. The front rolls on 18 inch KMC Venom wheels also with no tubs needed. The wheels are wrapped in Bridgestone Potenza 35-255 series tires. Jay Larossa at Sportruck Specialties in Carson, California completed all of the suspension work.

   On the outside of Brandon’s Chevy, a ‘99 GMC Envoy swap updated the front end including the core support, bumper core, bumper, lights, fog lights, Grille and Billet upper and lower grille inserts. Body modifications include a shaved stock antenna hole and frenched in star hole just behind the cab on the drivers side. Also removed from the body was the tail gate handle, hood squirters, door handles and the bumper was removed in exchange for a smooth roll pan.

   A custom 18 inch LED from Wings West was molded in above the rear window and APC euro tail lights replaced the stock red ones. A Checkmate Tonneau Cover and custom matched blue Line-X was used for the bed. Steve DeMan in Chino Hills, California used a custom mix of House of Kolor Paints including silver, blue and turquoise. He also used a 3 color metal flake.

   In the cab, the stock seats were reconstructed using gray tweed, custom blue carpet and star material. Revo Reeves and his crew at Stitchcraft Interiors in Huntington Beach, California redid the doors, dash, seats, rear wall, and underside of the tonneau cover.

   The engine was upgraded from stock with a host of parts from Sportruck Specialties starting with chromed power pulleys and cold air intake. Also installed are roller rockers, an electric fan, Optima
battery, and a 290-amp high output alternator. CGS Motorsports replaced the lacking stock exhaust system with a high flow catalytic converter and cat-back exhaust system.

  Brandon’s finished truck was debuted at one of California’s premier summer events, The California Truck Jamboree receiving 1^st place at that show and taking 10 trophies total at events since then. He has won Best of Show, Best Paint, and was a Feature Vehicle in the Line-x booth at the 2002 SEMA Show.
