Silverado's Older Brother: Duramax-Powered 1984 Chevrolet K10

Bullet Motorsports is offering a custom 1984 Chevrolet K10 built by Adam Pela from DmaxSwap, now featured on Bring a Trailer. This masterpiece is the ancestor of the modern Chevrolet Silverado, showcasing the evolution of Chevrolet’s legendary trucks.

Under the hood, this beast boasts a turbocharged 6.6L Duramax LBZ V8 engine, equipped with high-performance Mahle pistons, a Calibrated Power turbocharger, Exergy Performance injectors, a Pusher SuperMax intake manifold, and a Melling oil pump. This powerful combination cranks out an impressive 600 horsepower and a staggering 1,200 lb-ft of torque. This immense power is managed by a billet triple-disc converter, an Allison six-speed automatic transmission, and a dual-range transfer case. Torque is transferred seamlessly to an 11.5-inch rear end with a limited-slip differential and a 3.73 ratio.

This formidable truck rides on a robust boxed 2007 Chevy Silverado 2500 chassis, complete with a custom back half. The front suspension is upgraded with dual Fox shocks, while the rear is enhanced with ADS coilovers, ensuring a smooth and controlled ride. The truck rolls on rugged Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ P3 37×12.5-inch tires mounted on stylish Method 17-inch wheels.

The body of this modified Chevrolet Silverado is just as impressive, featuring a fiberglass hood and fenders, a Pro Net tailgate net, tubular bumpers, and a raised-floor bed. These modifications not only enhance its performance but also give it a distinctive and aggressive look.

The Chevrolet K10 is a classic truck that paved the way for the Chevrolet Silverado, one of the most popular and enduring truck models today. This custom build is a testament to the timeless appeal and enduring legacy of Chevrolet's truck lineup.
