This lowrider pickup isn’t being extended, contrary to popular belief.
Over the years, we’ve seen many crazy custom cars. Although this pickup truck is certainly custom, the best thing about this Chevy is how it hasn’t been done. It has been lowered, chopped and painted. It’s possible you might be curious about how much effort was put into stretching the frame. But here’s the truth. It hasn’t been stretched. It’s mind blowing, right?
This factoid will be a part of your brain while we discuss the rest of the truck, appropriately named the Krew Kut. It began life as a 1992 Chevrolet heavy duty crew-cab pickup truck. It was a long-box option with dual rear wheels. This is why it looks so big. We have become accustomed to four-door trucks having shorter beds. Having a roof adds to this optical illusion. The truck’s length – 22 feet – is stock.
It is the only stock item on this extreme build. After seeing the truck in California, the current owner followed it for many years before finally buying it on eBay. The Krew Kut can be lowered and has a hydraulic suspension which literally crashes the body to the ground when it stops. The body needed to be raised to accommodate the frame. The interior has seen a lot of customization, and the tailgate is now welded shut to protect it from future work. A large bench seat, as well as a hydraulic pump to control the suspension, can be found in the bed.
The front clip is a Cadillac Escalade. It has been matched with a custom bumper that gives the truck a low stance when fully lower. The stock Chevy taillights have been replaced by Toyota Supra lenses in a custom rear bumper. The engine is a modified LS V8 that produces 617 horsepower (460 kilowatts), which all goes to the rear wheels. Although it sounds huge, this yacht is likely to weigh as much as the Titanic. The second surprise is that the truck weighs only 3,100 pounds. The roof can be removed to save some weight.
The video shows that the owner owns several cars, but he would only be able to keep one. The video was probably made before Jupiter launched gas prices. However, Krew Kut is a great place to get attention behind the wheel for those who love it.
