Big block power and luxury comforts, you won't want to get out of it! What an absolute looker too! The quality of workmanship and attention to detail set this truck apart from the rest. It has received a painstaking and detailed body off frame restoration that absolutely speaks for itself. Take an extra minute to soak in all the details of this stepside pickup!
EXTERIOR: There are plenty of good things to say about this exterior! Let's start with the body modifications. It has a forward tilting hood with 3 ports on each side, a frenched antenna and emblems have been removed for a clean look. The rear tailgate is totally custom, it has been finished smooth with a custom bow tie LED third brake light. LED taillights and a recessed license plate have been incorporated into the custom roll pan. The doors and remainder of body panels have all been aligned very nicely and the gaps are tight all the way around. Doors open and shut like a new car. The paint is top quality and has been polished to a very smooth reflective finish. The addition of the orange metallic accent color against the cream primary color reminds me of a creamsicle. The painter took a chance with the blue and orange pinstripes, and it works great! It gives just that little pop of color that you didn't know you needed until it was there. Absolutely stunning! It has custom dual chrome side view mirrors and door handles with fingernail guards. All new smoked glass, the vent windows were removed for 1 piece windows. The weatherstrips and seals have been replaced. Upfront is a big sparkling chrome grill. The bumpers are smoothed, no exposed bolts. It has 15 inch rally wheels rims that have been painted the orange accent color with chrome rings and center caps. The tires are staggered with taller fatter meats in the rear that gives this truck the perfect stance. What an absolutely beautiful stepside pickup!
INTERIOR: This interior is a true expression of comfort and style! Let's start up top with the custom stainless steel headliner with chrome bands that matches the bed. It has matching tan sun visors that have been reupholstered with orange stitching. The rearview mirror is compact and looks like new. The ceiling, pillars, dash, door panels, and custom center console have all been painted with the same colors as the body and have been polished to a smooth reflective finish. Everything on the interior is in remarkable showroom condition. I'm really liking the matching cream colored aftermarket gauges with gold rings by Classic Instruments. They just have a look to them that accents the interior really nicely and could be mistaken as factory stock if you weren't paying attention. A modern pioneer stereo has been added as well as vintage A/C and a B&M converter lockup control. It has a custom steering column that tilts and has been painted body color. That is attached to a leather wrapped billet aluminum steering wheel. It has custom upholstered bucket seats that are low profile and have good support. They also have orange stitching to match the rest of the interior and adjustable power seats that move on the push of a button. Modern 3-point seat belts have been installed. A custom fabricated center console is a nice addition with small storage compartment built into the armrest that slopes down to cupholders and the power window controls. The lower portion of the center console houses a matching Classic Instruments tachometer as well as a Lokar shifter. The entire center console has been custom painted by hand and matches the rest of the truck. The carpeting has been replaced and is in great condition. The quality of workmanship on the interior is just going to blow your mind!
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: This custom truck has got the go to match the show! The behemoth of a performance built 454 Chevrolet engine has been massaged out internally to 468 cubic inches. It sports custom painted valve covers and a custom air cleaner with color and pinstripes that match the exterior. The remainder of the engine has been tastefully dressed with a chrome water pump, chrome alternator, chrome A/C compressor, Chrome steering shaft, chrome hydro boost brake booster, chrome intake manifold and chrome Holley carburetor with electronic choke. An aftermarket fuel pressure gauge, MSD electronic ignition, quick ratio steering box and headers have been added. A large aftermarket polished aluminum radiator with dual electric fans keeps the power plant cool. It has a solid chrome upper radiator hose that is attached with sleek heat shrink clamps. The hood itself is reverse opening and has a custom hinge setup along with chrome latches that proudly have the Chevy bow tie laser cut out of them. It's that type of little details which really impress me with this truck. The fender wells have been custom fabricated to accommodate the tubular upper control arms and have been painted to body color. The firewall has been completely smoothed out with a large recession in its center to give enough space for the bellhousing and distributor. It is painted to body color with the same orange and blue accents found on the exterior.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: I've never seen a trunk bed quite like this one before! It's absolutely stunning! The bottom of the bed is 100% custom fabricated with stainless steel sheet metal and is held in place with chrome bands. The fuel tank filler has been relocated on the bed floor. The walls of the bed are nice and smooth and have been painted the same color as the body. All the hardware is chrome and looks totally fresh. The custom tailgate is totally smooth on both sides and has custom billet release pins and stainless guides. You won't be hauling any mulch in this one, but it sure does look pretty!
UNDERSIDE: This custom truck has a custom underside also! It has a new front clip all rebuilt and upgraded with CPP tubular control arms. Front and rear swaybars. The rear leaf springs and shocks
