Walking down the truck aisle at the 2015 Goodguys Southwest Nationals, we came across Steve and Margie LaForest of Cave Creek, Arizona, and their 1958 Chevrolet Pickup. Simply put, this Chevy truck is a stunning piece of work.

The driveline includes a 350-cubic inch V8 from a 1993 Chevy Corvette, coupled with a T700R4 transmission and a Corvette 2.56 rearend. The engine includes Sanderson headers, a custom air filter setup, Borla SS mufflers out back, and an aluminum driveshaft. A four wheel disc brake system provides plenty of stopping power and Aldan coilovers give the truck great handling characteristics.

The truck has been chopped three inches, the door handles have been shaved, and a custom roll pan with Corvette taillights give this truck some character. It also features one-piece side windows, a front flip louvered hood, a flush third brake light, curly maple bed wood, a smoothed firewall, and a trimmed and smoothed front bumper.

Heading inside, the truck has a custom dash, Dakota Digital telemetry, and an Autoloc linear actuated hood. A Lokar shifter, gas pedal, and emergency brake add a nice performance touch inside, not forgetting about the Kicker and Rockford Fosgate sound system that provides crisp sound. “The truck was completely built by us in a home shop, taking nearly 20 years to complete,” said LaForest.

With countless hours of labor put into this custom truck, we commend Steve and his dedication to his craft. Having such heavy Corvette influence, it is clear that Steve is a pure Chevy enthusiast. What do you think of this truck? Is there too much going on? Be sure to share your thoughts below.
