#Billy bob varsity blues movie#
One of our favorite movies at Arise Customs, being Texas boys and football fans.is of course, Varsity Blues! Clearly we are also square body fans so after building a Fall Guy replica last year we considered a couple of other famous squares.fast forward about 6 months and a GREAT candidate landed in our laps for the truck we most desired! A blue 1979 Chevy K20 rolled into our shop! The truck Billy Bob drove in the movie had a few things that would be not only hard to find these days (such as the tube bumpers), but really just not look right (his interior as another example, the seats were likely pulled from a Chevy van and the dash covers.not a fan). lots more details below.walk around video available also. Fires up great and has a great lope from the cam pounding through the headers and Flowmasters.1979 Chevrolet C/K Pickup 2500 Additional Info:ġ979 Chevy K20 fully restored! New drivetrain with warranty! 350 V8 with performance upgrades and automatic 400 transmission with updates and shift kit! Lifted on 35s and inspired by the truck "Billy Bob" drove in the movie "Varsity Blues". This truck is a blast to drive around town and turns everyone's head. We pulled the trans out and swapped in a high quality new turbo 400 with all upgraded parts built to hold quite a bit of power with a LIFETIME WARRANTY from the builder to do the rest of this truck build justice. New side mirrors bolted to the doors and a new chrome roll bar and lights bolted in back to round out the look as well as matching steps and entry handles much like what was on the movie truck.įresh fluids, filters, wiper blades.should have completed this build.but within just a couple test drives we decided we were not happy with the way the trans was shifting. Inside a new Kenwood Bluetooth/USB connectivity head unit run to dual 6x9s in custom boxes behind the seats as well as replacement dash speakers provide the country sound track audible just above the rumble of this beast's roar. Paint matched liner sprayed in the bed and down the sides to protect from most rock chips from the oversized tires. The bench seat got a new pad and upholstery. The body got new Varsity Blue paint inside and out. Brakes replaced as well as all new parking brake setup. A freshened turbo 400 transmission bolted up and a custom rear driveshaft balanced and lengthened to fit. Next a new crate 350 with an RV cam dropped in with a big Edelbrock carb.long tube headers bolted up back through true dual Super 40 Flowmaster exhaust. Moog joints and suspension components used. Steering box and components refreshed or replaced where needed. A 6" lift installed with new wheels and 35" all terrain BFG tires. What did we do with her? The frame got cleaned up and repainted. So clearly the truck is "inspired by the movie" but not a replica. We also prefer not to add body lifts when not absolutely needed.
