Exactly one year ago we started to build the "COPO Truck" which is what I envisioned would be the perfect factory factory sport truck if GM had the COPO program active where you could pick and choose any drivetrain parts you wanted to build your own custom truck. My 2000 Silverado uses the AWD system from a Yukon Denali, wheels from a 2015 Silverado, the transmission from a 2500HD, the LSA Supercharger from a ZL1 Camaro, the flex-fuel system from a 2002 Tahoe, Electric Fans from a 2009 Silverado, and a whole lot of custom work by myself to make it all work together. All told, the LSA 4.8 makes 530 horsepower at the wheels, 550 lb.ft. of torque, and is a total blast to drive.
What's next for the COPO truck? Well, there are a lot of options, but we'll improve the cooling of the transmission and the supercharger, spin the blower a bit faster, and make a lot more horsepower!

True statement. You know LT, I know you understandably want a shop, where you can take your build to the next level with lifts, specialized tools, etc. however maybe part of your channels ‘brand’ is showing us the quality, craftsmanship, and polished product that’s capable in a garage with parts store parts and tools? I at least appreciate what this channel is, and enjoy your projects……. Though I’m pretty disappointed you let go of the DINAN E39 (I’m probably on my own there) 😂

THIS IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT!! I'm mechanically inclined to a point, two things I won't touch, an automatic transmission and a rear. I'll change either. My man changed rear gears with the rear in the truck. What can I say my boy is NICE!!!!!!

i had an 04' Silverado SS...for 13 years!!! besides brakes,bearings, and a water pump...that truck was impossibly reliable. i did service it by the book...and after 150k miles i did replace the leaf springs and front shocks to improve the road feel. anyone who knows 99-06 chevy trucks knows how bulletproof these things are.the SS's lq9 high compression 6.0, heavy duty transmission are a great combination...but that AWD system is what makes that truck " exotic " for lack of a better term. a ton of power in a heavy truck really needs to transfer power evenly as possible for a great launch.with the 4.10 gears and wide tires...that truck wouldn't even chirp the tires...i would just see the hood lift up in front of me as the truck grabbed the asphalt and just took off.it would confuse all those who pulled up next to me at a light for a race.i wouldn't always win...but i would always laugh at how close i was was when i lost. the set up here is awesome. unfortunately my truck got totaled after keeping after her for so long.they have me 15k for her...she was a gift that kept on giving my 17' Silverado midnight edition has no soul in comparison .its like my first wife died and i remarried.that chassis was excellent too...the "z60". I'd love to see this truck with an lsx 454( with carburetor) in all black...with the 90s SS quarter panel " 454 SS" decals...that would be my dream build.

They have been easily built to handle over 1000 HP. Since there is no tcm for the LS for the 8L90 or 10L90(sad) I'm thinking of a 6L90 built which removes the 1st OD gear and keeps the 2nd.
