Silverado Drift Truck: The Build Process Summed Up! | Smithson Speed

In this video, we dive into something a little different—a Silverado Drift Truck! Join Ben as as he showcases the transformation of Jonathan "Wong" Fitzpatrick’s daily driver into a rowdy, track-ready drift truck. This truck started life as a stock Silverado with a 5.3L engine and a 4L60E automatic transmission. After years of driving (and plenty of wear and tear), it’s now packing an LS6, a T-56 Magnum manual transmission, a custom aluminum driveshaft, upgraded suspension, and a handbrake setup for serious sideways action. With a 9-inch rear end, 35-spline axles, and a spool, this truck is built for daily driving and tearing up the drift scene. From long road trips to heart-pounding close calls on the highway, we explore the journey that brought this truck to life. Wong shares his passion for creating a practical daily driver that doubles as a head-turning drift machine—complete with A/C, heat, and enough attitude to impress anyone who hops in. Stick around for all the details, behind-the-scenes stories, and a sneak peek at the upcoming drift event at Driven Luck Circuit in Alabama.
