One Of A Kind Chevy Silverado 2500HD LTZ For Sale
Sponsored Links
Smedley’s Chevrolet of Vandalia, Ohio has an extraordinary Silverado 2500HD for sale that’s sure to stand out at any place and any time.
The 2018 Silverado HD is an LTZ trim level with a Crew Cab and Standard Box body-configuration, equipped with the 6.6-liter L5P V8 turbodiesel Duramax engine and four-wheel-drive. Nothing strange about that, but as you may have already noticed from the photos, it’s had a little work done.
For starters, the ground clearance is somewhat higher than stock. It’s not enough to say that the tires don’t fill the top of the wheel arches. Hell, they don’t even reach the bottom of the wheel arches when the vehicle is stationary. And that’s not just because they’re low-profile items. This Silverado 2500HD rides so high above the ground that we have to wonder if it would be easier to climb aboard using a step ladder or by jumping across from a second-story window.
The maximum possible body movement is difficult to estimate, but judging by the enormous shock absorbers it’s likely that it could be measured in feet rather than in inches.
The Silverado 2500HD is listed as being painted in Summit White. For all we know, that might still be the case, but it has also been covered with a wrap bearing an angular, multi-colored design. One of the colors is a pale blue which is also featured on the wheels and suspension.
According to Smedley’s, this custom truck has only covered 2,466 miles in over two years. It’s priced at $99,995, which is apparently quite the bargain since over $165,000 is believed to have been invested in the project.
For reference, the starting MSRP for a 2018 Silverado 2500HD LTZ Crew Cab was about $52,000 when new.
Something to note: the listing on Smedley’s notes the following disclaimer, “the features and options listed are for the new 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD and may not apply to this specific vehicle.”
No kidding.

Other than a 16 year old dreamer, I don’t know who would want this thing. It is not practical, has no warranty and involves a lot of maintenance. I have a feeling that this dealership is going to be stuck with it for quite a while. Perhaps they’ll even have to dump it at auction for a huge loss.
Why?
My next firewood hauler.
Seen a high one like this years ago, they carried a small step ladder in the back to get in it. We still laugh about it, this made me think of it. Very unpractical. Guy could hurt himself getting in and out.
I can appreciate the work and passion that went into this build but the reality is this trucks not even legal to drive in most states. This was clearly built to be a show truck. I don’t see it doing anyone a whole lot of good outside of that purpose.
Show truck only
It is so damn ugly. Lol
Kill it with fire!!! Hideous!!
OOOOOKay. Got to give credit to the builder. Clean build, just not to my liking. I’ll take the money that’s tied up in it and order me a new truck.
Totally useless, except as a show vehicle. Not street legal.
Lol, Ugly & Useless, Gotta Love GM & Chev Wheel Wells, even 4″ lift looks Stupid…..
…Says the POS Ford or Dodge loving FECKLESS IDIOT! 🖕🤣🖕
Uglier than a mud fence
What a waste of a perfectly good chevy diesel. I’ll give em a dollar for it. Cause Its gonna cost a bundle to make it usable again.
Whistlin Diesel has a spot in his garage for it
Nice driveline angles, especially the front. Can this thing go over 15mph without throwing a driveshaft? And I must say, 🤮🤮🤮
Only way I’d take it is if it was free. Ugly piece of crap.
At least all of the clowns will have plenty of doors to file out of when they exit that clown car. 🤡🤡🤡 💩💩💩
I didn’t read the “article” but this thing has got Extensive/Texas Metal written all over it.
I MAY have seen less practical vehicles, even “show” vehicles, but I can’t think of any right now.
I may get back to you……..
Very unique styling…..Odd but it works totally a One of a kind.
1986 called and they want their paint job back .
I thought the foofoo pastel colors were more of an early 1990s thing.
The bigger the ego, the higher the lift.
