2019 Chevrolet Silverado

Throw on your best sherpa denim jacket and slap on a Stetson, because this Silverado will take you back to Eighties country.

ChevroletForum is still rocking it at SEMA 2018, capturing the best Chevy truck and SUV builds between having our minds blown by Penn & Teller while cashing in on our slot machine winnings.

And speaking of winning, this two-tone 2019 Silverado is a winner for tapping into its heritage, back when trucks were work horses through and through.

Built by Westin Automotive of San Dimas, California (a city that is no stranger to time travel), the outfitter’s take on the Silverado is the second time we’ve seen any customizer take a deep dive into the past, following the Big 10 and Super 10 Silverados of Blake Greenfield Chevrolet in Minnesota.

Westin’s retro Silverado wears its two-tone appearance well, the color-blocking working naturally with the lines of the modern truck when compared to the Big 10 and Super 10. On the other hand, the ‘Chevrolet’ name on the tailgate could be re-centered to give more breathing room between the blue top and white center section.

The Silverado is, of course, for everything Westin offers for any truck, from the big brush guard up front, to the rear window guard and custom rear bumper out back. This is definitely one truck we’d take back to the 1980s, when cowboys wore sherpa denim trucker jackets with their Stetsons, and highways were less crowded.
