1955 CHEVROLET 3100 CUSTOM PICKUP

Details

This show truck has 180 miles since its no-expense-spared rotisserie restoration. It is a combination of a First Series 1955 Chevy pickup and a modern Corvette. Thousands of hours were spent on its restoration. The undercarriage is highly detailed. It has Air Ride Technologies adjustable shocks for ride height, and the frame was custom-built and powder-coated silver with Corvette independent suspension in the front and rear. Corvette power disc brakes are at all four corners, and the 7-inch

Oasis booster and Corvette master cylinder have been placed under the dash to keep engine compartment clean. The entire body is steel, except the rear fenders. Many modifications were made to the body, such as a 3-inch chopped top, pancaked hood, shaved drip moldings and door handles, suicide doors, electric tonneau cover, smoothed bed, exhaust cutouts in the running boards, and custom taillights and brake lights. The custom Blue Metallic Pearl paint is complemented by a custom gray leather interior with electric bucket seats. The dash, seats, door panels, console and overhead console have all been custom-made. Some interior upgrades include Haneline gauges, Lokar pedals, Blazer power seats, polished Ididit tilt steering column and steering wheel, power windows, remote door and window openers, remote tonneau cover, air conditioning and a sound system with molded door speakers. The engine compartment is highly detailed with a smoothed firewall and inner fenders that have been painted the same color as the exterior. The 350ci V8 Corvette LT1 engine has been rebuilt with high-end internal parts, a custom engine cover and intake system that have also been painted the same color as the truck, and an aluminum radiator. The engine is coupled with a 4L60 4-speed automatic transmission that transfers power through the rebuilt Corvette rear end to the 18-inch front and 20-inch rear Coys polished wheels.
