Best known as a company that specializes in performance products for both consumers and military use, Banks is embarking on a completely new venture that might make people think the team has gone mad! Usually, the types of vehicles they work on are built to either break speed records or haul heavy loads with ease. So, building a slammed â66 Chevy C20 that doesnât have a shiny surface is a bit different to say the least.
If you take a look at the Banks lineage, their current build really stands out as all others were built for performance. Starting in the 1950âs, Banks made a name for itself in the marine industry by turbocharging big block Chevy engines for endurance race boats. Since they were going through large numbers of engines, founder Gale Banks made an arrangement with GM to get engines with his internals.
