Moss Signature Series 2006 Chevy Silverado RST Regency Sport Truck Conversion Few people outside the performance automotive industry have heard of Jon A. Moss. So it’s a bit of a curiosity why a leading conversion company would launch a special pickup named for him. Those in the know, however, not only believe it’s a well-deserved honor but will have confidence that the vehicle is worthy of a truck enthusiast’s attention. The Moss signature truck is an extension of the Regency RST series of pickups that were available through Chevrolet and GMC dealers. A number of years ago, Regency worked with designer Chip Foose and Moss to develop a performance package for GM pickups. Foose’s main contributions were the front and rear spoilers and the wheels while Moss focused on the performance enhancements. Goals for the RST included low cost, improved handling and retro styling cues. As a way to continue the sales momentum and salute Moss, the 2006 RST evolved into the Jon Moss Signature Series with a single classic Chevy muscle car as the sole inspiration. “It’s dedicated to the ’69 Camaro Indy Pace Car,” Moss quickly sums up. The orange racing stripes on a white body are the first clues to the classic Camaro connection. The exterior is also enhanced with Foose-designed chromed alloy 20-inch wheels and P265/50-20 Goodyear Eagle RS-A performance tires. Other features include chromed door handles, billet aluminum grille and spoiler insert, color-keyed mirrors, tailgate spoiler and rear roll pan with molded exhaust opening. All Moss signature trucks started out as basic Silverado regular cab with 4.8-liter V8 engine and a 5-speed manual transmission. The trucks were shipped to Regency’s 250,000-square-foot facility in Fort Worth, Texas. Regency can option power windows/lock, tilt steering, cruise control and an AM/FM/CD radio. Regency prefers the manual to emphasize the muscle car theme and keep the price low, however it was only offered only with the 4.8-liter engine. Once Regency finished the conversion, the truck was shipped to the dealer. Base-level work trucks come from GM with a 40/20/40 vinyl bench seat that has inboard seat belts, preventing Regency from swapping in bucket seats. So the Regency craftsmen reformed the bench seat, added armrests and skinned it in leather and ‘69 Camaro SS houndstooth-fabric. The steering wheel, passenger grab bar and door panels also got the leather treatment with baseball stitching. Other interior features included black carpet, tinted windows, carbon-fiber-style dash trim, Camaro-like foot-pedal pads and a custom Hurst-style chromed shifter anchored with a leather boot. The instrument panel faceplate was made from stainless steel and set off the red illuminated gauges and needles. Moss personally signed each faceplate before installation. So who is Jon Moss? An imposing figure at 6-foot-7, Moss has had a hand in just about every cool vehicle to come out of General Motors in the past 25 years. His official title revolved around the special vehicle department, first at Chevy then for all of GM. But most enthusiasts know him as the celebrity boss of the “Toy Box” or just “Dr. Frankenstein.” Moss started his automotive career at Oldsmobile in the early ‘60s but his heart was really in performance. A frequent street-racing threat on Woodward Avenue, Moss moved into chassis development at Chevrolet. One of the earliest innovations to come off his drafting board was the carburetor linkage for the famed Z/28 cross-ram intake manifold. In 1986, Moss was moved to the Chevrolet Special Vehicles division where he oversaw the development of concept performance vehicles and pace cars for Indy and other tracks. Moss’s biggest claim to fame is the Impala SS. Inspired by a customized Caprice wagon roaming the streets of Detroit, Moss lowered and spiced up a Chevy Caprice sedan as a concept for the 1992 SEMA show. The vehicle drew considerable praise from show visitors and the media, leading Chevy to start building the Impala SS from 1994 through 1996 when GM dropped the B-body platform. Even to this day, Moss is considered the Godfather of the Impala SS and literally mobbed when attending SS gatherings. About every year or so, Moss sponsored a “Toys Test,” a day at a racetrack for media to drive and report on the concepts. Some of Moss’s creations reached legendary status through these events, including the 572ci, 770-horsepower ZL1 Camaro he match-raced against Ford SVT boss John Colleti’s Boss-powered Mustang. The most powerful car Moss built was a 1700-horsepower twin-turbo Monte Carlo. Truckers most likely will remember the 1996 Coolside pickup (a second version, the Coolside II, was built a few years later) and a 454-powered road racer from the early ‘90s. Moss has since retired and is now a consultant to performance aftermarket companies, dividing his time between Detroit and Arizona. Regency tapped his expertise in chassis dynamics when developing the RST. The truck is lowered about one inch with a specially tuned Ground Force suspension, and extra stopping power is provided by Baer brakes up front. Other performance enhancements include a True Flow intake and ceramic-coated JBA headers. With the 5-speed and lightweight regular-cab, the Moss truck is rather spirited. As a die-hard hot-rodder, Moss probably would have preferred to have big-block engine under the hood, or at least a 6.0-liter Vortec. But a larger V8 in the Moss truck would have been a direct competitor to the Silverado SS, and GM wouldn’t sanction such a program. Also, insurance costs were lower with the 4.8-liter engine, a strong selling point to youthful customers. “Street price” fell in the $35,000 range, depending on options. More than 100 man-hours go into the conversion, so it was difficult for a typical Silverado shopper to duplicate the package. The Moss truck carried the standard 3-year/36,000 warranty and the total costs were financed through the dealer. Several years ago when the RST first came out, Regency sold a black RST at Barrett-Jackson for $59,500, even though it carried a $35,995 sticker. There were approximately only 200 of these RST Conversion truck built in 2006, with only 100 of them being white.
