Twin Turbo LS 1965 Stepside C10 Patina Truck – ChaChing Ep. 1

This week we’re taking a step back from the Tesla swapped C10 squarebody to show you guy’s Salvage2Savage’s flagship build, ChaChing. We take you on a spin in this 1965 bagged twin turbo stepside as we get it ready for the burnout competition at Holley’s LS Fest in Bowling Green, Kentucky! This LS powered patina C10 was the very first S2S build and made waves, catching the cover of CK Truck’s April issue. Laid out on Vossen wheels, this truck sits as mean as it rips! And with a full custom interior, stuffed with a custom shifter, Restomod air system, full custom bench seat, and Haltech digital display, it looks as good inside as it does on the outside! We have the boost toned down on our 63mm mirror image turbo system, but we’re still making around 700 horsepower to the wheels. Even with all that power though, we still have trouble getting the 11.6″ wide rear tires to do a standing burnout; which is why we’re installing a line lock system before heading up north to LS Fest! This truck really turned heads in Kentucky sitting out front of the Holley Performance tent, and made a lot of noise smoking the tires and hitting that two step in the burnout competition. We had such a great time up in Kentucky meeting a bunch of you guys following our channel, but we had to bolt back down to South Florida to keep plugging away at the EV Tesla swap C10 squarebody to get the custom KW suspension set up for next week’s episode!
