This 1947 Chevrolet Pickup embodies the grit and determination of post-WWII America, wearing its years of service proudly in its weathered green patina exterior. Part of a unique, short-lived model year, this truck bridges the gap between pre-war designs and the needs of a nation ready to get back to work. The patina finish tells a story of decades on the road, while modern upgrades like 20"" Rocket wheels wrapped in 245/35ZR20 front and 255/50R20 rear tires hint at the truck's newfound performance capabilities. LED brake lights and upgraded headlights blend seamlessly with the classic lines, maintaining the truck's vintage appeal while improving visibility and safety.
Inside, this Chevy's cabin has been completely reimagined with comfort and style in mind. A saddle-colored leather interior creates a warm, inviting atmosphere that contrasts beautifully with the truck's rugged exterior. The bench seat provides ample room, while power windows add a touch of modern convenience. A chrome Ididit steering column topped with a wood-rimmed wheel gives the driver precise control. The centerpiece of the dashboard is the Holley EFI Pro Dash, featuring customizable digital gauges that provide all the vital information at a glance. Vintage Air conditioning ensures comfortable cruising in any weather.
The powerhouse that transforms this classic hauler into a modern performer is a Texas Speed and Performance-built LS3 V8, bored out to 418 cubic inches, sits at the heart of this restomod. Forged internals, including the crankshaft, H-beam rods, and pistons, coupled with Trick Flow 235 cc Cathedral port heads and a custom Comp cam, create a potent combination. A Holley Terminator X Max EFI system with transmission control manages the fuel delivery, while Hooker headers feed into a dual exhaust system with an X-pipe for an aggressive exhaust note. Power is sent through a rebuilt 4L80E transmission equipped with a Circle D billet triple-disc converter, ensuring smooth shifts and reliable performance.
