Choosing classic truck custom build parts is the fun part of a build, but it is also where budgets go sideways. The parts that pay off are the ones you use every time you drive the truck, or the ones that fix a problem the factory never solved. In this post, we’ll be discussing the five LS Fabrication parts that make the biggest difference on a custom classic Chevy truck.

Building a custom classic Chevy truck can be an incredibly fulfilling experience, but finding the right parts to improve both look and performance can be a challenge. Start with the parts that change how the truck is used, such as the tailgate saver and the hinges, because you feel those every day. Then move on to the sheet metal, since a firewall goes in before paint. The five products above are just a few of the many classic truck custom build parts available, and our scissor hinge tips and wheel tub installation guide show what two of them involve. For the gas struts that go with the hinges, gas spring sizing is covered by our gas spring calculator.
