Modernize our ’66 Chevy | BANKS BUILT Ep 19
We have to modernize our ’66 Chevy and to do that we’re unboxing products to help. Before we can drop off LokJaw at Empire Fabrication for sheet metalwork, we need to prep the engine bay and mockup as much of the truck as we can. Erik, Banks Prototype Engineer and the youngest member of the Mechanical Engineering Team, unboxes the Ridetech air suspension management, Aeromotive fuel system as well as the parts we’ll need to prepare for the Vintage Air installation. Simply put, we’re dragging our ’66 Chevy into the 21st century!

One of the products that will really modernize the Chevy is the Ridetech leveling control system with a three-and-a-half-inch touch screen. That’s going to look even cooler once it’s integrated into the dash.
After this, we’re ripping apart our ’66 Chevy C20 pickup down to its chassis! The cab and bed need to be placed on the new Roadster Shop chassis so Erik and Jay get to work. The goal is to drive the truck to the SEMA Show in early November so it’s a race against time.
