1954 CHEVROLET 3100 CUSTOM PICKUP

Details

This custom 1954 Chevrolet 3100 pickup has been built out from top to bottom with modern conveniences. When the build began, the shop stripped the truck to its bare frame, which was then boxed before it began upgrading. The stock inline-6 engine was replaced with a ZZ 350 Chevrolet V8 crate engine. It is equipped with an electronic ignition, a performance intake and a Holley 600 carburetor. An aluminum radiator keeps the truck cool, and ceramic-coated headers are affixed to a 2.5-inch Flowmaster

exhaust that runs out the back of the truck. The engine is mated to a TH350 automatic transmission that sends power to the rear wheels. In place of the original gas tank, an aluminum fuel cell has been placed under the bed for easier fueling. A 4-link rear suspension was installed, and Heidts Hot Rod Shop provided coilovers for the rear. Up front, Heidts also provided a full front-end setup with rack & pinion steering and 4-wheel power disc brakes to help slow things down. The underside was coated with RAPTOR color-matching rubberized undercoat. The bodywork and the orange paint are well-done, and the bed has received a fully wooden floor. A set of halogen headlights adorn the front of the vehicle. On the inside, a fully custom interior provides comfort and features numerous hidden modern updates. Tan covers the bench seat and door cards that accent the dashboard, which is color-matched to the exterior. An Ididit chrome steering column and custom billet wheel make getting in and out much easier. Brand-new Dolphin gauges provide accurate readouts and power windows have been added for convenience. This Chevrolet has been upgraded with a Vintage Air system to keep the cabin cool and a full Pioneer Electronics stereo.
