Waldoch

Waldoch Building the Best Custom Rides Since 1974. Specializing in Lifted Trucks and Luxury Vans. So was an innovative new business. Today, the tradition lives on.

Most great businesses start in a garage—and in our case, that’s only fitting. The garage in question belonged to the Waldoch Family of Forest Lake, Minnesota. And on a typical afternoon in 1970s, you might find their son Donald inside testing his woodworking skills. One day in 1974, a friend brought him an especially interesting request: Could he custom-build some cabinets for the inside of their

van? Don took on the challenge, and when he opened his parents’ garage door weeks later, the modern-day conversion van was born. And as demand shot through the roof for similar projects, Don and one employee took on nearly every task—including the conversion work itself. But Don had bigger designs in mind: In an era of love nests and ceiling mirrors, he wanted to build a company that specialized in more family-oriented van designs. He immediately forged a strategic relationship with the Ford Motor Company, and with Waldoch vans flying off the lots at Ford “Drive-Away Celebrations,” it wasn’t long before Don’s business moved out of the garage and into a huge production facility, thus creating hundreds of high-quality jobs. Needless to say, Don’s idea caught on—and by the mid-90s, Waldoch competed with over 150 van conversion companies. Throughout the “boom,” Waldoch maintained a top 10 “best sales and quality” position for Ford and GM. This focus on quality paid off when the boom ended in the early 2000s. As most van conversion companies faced bankruptcy, Waldoch found itself in a position to assist dealerships with warranty concerns and provide parts for other vans. When the economic dust settled, Waldoch was one of only 10 conversion companies left in the marketplace. All six of Don’s children have worked at Waldoch, and his two sons continue providing a valuable service to the traveling public. As both a family and a business, we take pride in our history, our team of talented professionals, our numerous quality and customer service awards, and the thousands of beautiful custom Waldoch luxury vans and trucks that grace on our national highways. But our most valuable resource will always be our customers. From our garage to yours, our mission will always be to help you travel at the highest levels of comfort, convenience, safety and style. Don wouldn’t have it any other way.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Callaway Cars Inc. and Waldoch Crafts Inc. Unveil Limited-Edition 2026 Chevrolet Silverado “Launch Edition”
Just 100 serialized units mark the debut of a new partnership between two of the industry’s premier specialty vehicle manufacturers
Old Lyme, CT and Forest Lake, MN — August 25, 2026 — Callaway Cars Inc. and Waldoch Crafts Inc. today announced the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado “Launch Edition,” a limited-production, co-branded truck combining Callaway’s performance engineering with Waldoch’s custom vehicle craftsmanship. It’s the first product from the new Callaway-Waldoch partnership, and its name nods to both that debut and the truck’s supercharged performance.

At the Launch Edition’s heart is Callaway’s SC602 supercharged package, which transforms the Silverado’s 6.2L L87 engine to 602 bhp and 560 lb-ft of torque via a TripleCooled® 2650cc Roots-type supercharger. It’s paired with a lowered coil-over front suspension with double-adjustable dampers and precision alignment, Callaway-Waldoch 22” wheels on Toyo Proxes ST III tires (305/45R22), a Callaway Big Brake package (6-piston front calipers, 15” slotted rotors, braided lines), and a TIG-welded stainless sport exhaust with Callaway-etched quad tips integrated into the rear bumper.

Exterior and interior details include a color-keyed grille with illuminated Bowtie emblem and SC602 badging, Waldoch color-keyed rocker panel extensions, leather/Alcantara seating with carbon-look stitching and Callaway/Waldoch embroidery, topographic Hydro-Graphics trim, anodized aluminum pedal pads and sill panels, and co-branded puddle lamps. Each truck carries a serialized interior plaque, VIN-etched underhood plaque, and Authenticity Documentation from both companies.

Orders can be placed now through Waldoch’s and Callaway’s authorized Chevrolet dealer network. Built on 6.2L RST Silverados from Waldoch’s existing bailment pool, all 100 units come in Summit White, Black, Sterling Gray Metallic, or the new-for-2026 White Sands, each backed by 3-year/36,000-mile Waldoch and Callaway warranties on top of GM’s original coverage.
