Artist Imagines Hot Rod Chevy Silverado Stepside

Go-fast pickups are as popular as ever, with automakers and enthusiasts alike stuffing the body style with horsepower and torque for impressive high-speed thrills. Now, one digital artist is taking the Chevy Silverado 1500 to a new level with this wild hot rod concept.

Coming to us from digital automotive artist Oscar Vargas (@wb.artist20), this unique concept is dubbed the Chevy Silverado Stepside 632 SS.

“Originally I was going for just a single cab stepside, then I remembered I had a 632 3D motor in my files so I had to use it on this,” the artist writes.

We’re certainly glad he did, because this thing looks mean in all the right ways. Let’s start in front, where we spot the familiar fascia of the refreshed Chevy Silverado 1500, with narrow headlights underscored by C-shaped daytime lighting signatures. A large Flow Tie badge is front and center, outlined in red, while red detailing was added to the lower tow hooks as well.

Naturally, this thing is running a massive cowl hood, hinting at all the cubes lying in wait underneath. The profile also shows off plus-sized split spoke wheels wrapped in low-profile rubber, with positively gargantuan brakes filling the center. The truck is lowered nicely on top of the wheels, lending it an ultra-aggressive appearance that’s sure to intimidate anyone in the other lane.

The Chevy Silverado’s ultra-short length also underlines this truck’s performance intentions, with nicely flared rear fenders to complement the stance. Red detailing is everywhere, from the brake calipers, to the wheel center caps, to the decals, complementing the black paint nicely.

And of course, we can’t forget that mammoth 632 under the hood. This powerplant can definitely chuck out plenty of ponies on demand, with an ultra-fat naturally aspirated powerband available from the driver’s right foot.

    1. It’s drop dead gorgeous ! I’d trade my C8 in for that, even if it is a stepside!

  3. Never was a big fan of the step side, but this rendering look awesome with the cowl induction, hood bulge and lower body. Defiantly they should build it.

  4. I like the regular cab look. Personally, I just don’t think I could go back. I would feel way too claustrophobic. I’m 6’ 5” and a regular cab just never really fit. Maybe, around town. Just felt ill after an hour on the road in a regular cab. Definitely a sharp truck.

    1. Yes, Richard every truck I’ve owned was either an extended or crew I couldn’t go back either.

      1. The thought of a rear end collision and my head going into the back glass was never appealing either.

  6. Black out the bow tie and I’d buy one. That 632 would be amazing. Prefer is not to be lowered though.

  7. GM is too worried that their masters in Washington DC might punish them if they build this high performance beast, so they will not.

  8. Just LOVE the “Look”. Been a Stepside Lover my entire adult life. Last one was a ’99 Silverado LT. Miss that truck. First one was a ’76. Silverado w/a 400. First and only Silverado Stepside my dealer ever sold. Really miss tha one. Nothing keeps body wise here in the North. Now if GM was to build such a truck, make it an option for 4×4 w/a solid front axle. Think they would sell? You bet they would! GM customers have been screaming for the reg. cab, short box for years. I guess we can all dream.

  9. It’s cool and looks right on the drop.

  10. Wow! Can I get this hood on my ’23 Sierra AT4? I love it

  11. GM claims that it brought back the single cab short box, I believe I saw a YouTube video of a dealer somewhere who had one. However, even GM Authority has had little to say about this. Did GM change their minds again? The middle east gets a regular cab, short box v-8 but the U.S. can’t?

    1. Definitely would like to feel the power behind this one. Great looking truck.

  12. GM’s going negative. In the trash heap in next 10 years at most. Too bad this truck will never see light of day.

    Reply
  13. Does it come with a refrigerator on the back? That’s about the only thing this truck can carry.

    Reply
    1. SO WHAT! It’s the style that counts. The look of a hot stepside short box, is just be-u-tee-full!!

      Reply
  14. Cool AF

  15. General Motors should wake up to the fact that a lot of people would buy this unique truck if they made it. It would become an instant collectors item as well as being a heck of a fun vehicle to drive. “Ratty” said it could only carry a refrigerator – but why would you want to scuff up this truck by carrying anything ? That is not its purpose.

  16. Only if they don’t just price it for the rich

    Reply
  17. I would like to buy one get a hold of me

  18. I would love to also. It is awesome
