Cletus: Since ’18

I found Cletus in February 2018 — a ’91 Silverado that looked like time forgot him, but when I opened the door and saw the bucket seats with the console, I knew. We were a perfect match.

That 4.3L? Smooth as gospel on a Sunday morning. Quiet, steady and never in a rush — just like me. He wasn’t flashy, but he didn’t need to be. There was something honest about him. Like he’d been waiting on the right owner to bring him back to life without changing who he was.

We’ve rolled through a lot since then — long drives, late nights and big thoughts. I’ve turned wrenches and turned corners in life, and somehow Cletus has always been part of both.

He’s not a project. He’s a partner. The drop, the NBS master cylinder — those weren’t just upgrades. They were my way of saying, “You’re worth the time.”

Because Cletus wasn’t built to impress.

He was built to last.

And since ’18, we’ve been proving just that.
