'Smokey And The Bandit' Silverado Tribute Truck To Debut At SEMA. Smokey and the Bandit is a cinema classic that has earned cult status among both moviegoers and car enthusiasts. It's so popular that the movie still inspires automotive designers and tuners more than 40 years after its release, with the Screaming Chicken finding its way onto various makes and models over the years. The latest to wear the hood bird is a modified Chevrolet Silverado from Toyo Tires, which will debut at this year's SEMA Show.
Based on the 2021 Silverado Crew Cab RST, the creation is a new take on the iconic Pontiac Trans Am from the movie that's applied to a street truck configuration. However, the design goes much further than black paint and a gold decal. The pickup also features a widebody kit, gold accents, a lowered ride height, and what appears to be a small spoiler on the tailgate. Other visual upgrades include new wheels, Toyo Proxes ST III tires, and unspecified interior touches.
