#uglytruck was a bit difficult to drive at night with the original headlights being faded and filled with water, plus it looked pretty nasty up front, so this weeks project on the 2000 Silverado was refreshing the front end with a new set of headlights, marker lights, and adding fog lights to a truck which didnt come equipped with them from the factory. Plus, I add a custom bowtie emblem to the front end to complete the makeover.
Uglytruck started with the idea that I would rather have a truck that is mechanically sound than one which looks perfect, so I picked it up with a blown transmission and got to work. So far, its had a 4L80e swap, been re-geared to 4.30 with a truetrac, has a 2/4 drop, and a few other cosmetic changed which make it a bit less ugly, while retaining the faded and dented up exterior. some other changed to come include adding a ton of power to the 5.3 LM7 under the hood.
