GASSED UP

Attack of Houston’s Own Silverado SS Clone

THE TRUCK YOU SEE BEFORE YOU IS A REVVING, TIRE-BURNING EXAMPLE OF JUST HOW STRONG THE PERFORMANCE TRUCK SCENE IN TEXAS CURRENTLY IS. Now, building badass pickups is nothing new for Texans—let’s make that point very clear. For decades, we’ve had the privilege of featuring countless builds from the Lone Star state, and there is a certain style that comes from this particular region we (and our readers) have grown to love.

There’s an old saying that proclaims everything being bigger in Texas, and when it comes to the custom trucks out there, that certainly is the case when looking for huge billet wheels. Large diameters and wide lips are practically the norms out there, which makes a hell of a first impression when seeing how low they like their trucks too. While an aggressive stance and impressive wheel selection may be enough to “wow” just about anyone in the crowd, a loud, rumbling engine underneath the hood just seals the deal for the true performance truck fiends out there.

Beto of Houston Performance Trucks, a community-based social media page that has brought the local (and global) truck scene together, enjoys a ‘bagged ride height, big billet wheels, but it really is the performance factor that truly gets his motor going. If you want to get a peek into the product of Beto’s passion for these trucks, check out @OnDgas on Instagram and OnDgas.com online. There you’ll see the collaboration of real, everyday builders and truck enthusiasts get together to discuss and learn about everything related to building killer pickups.
