1956 CHEVROLET 3100 CUSTOM PICKUP 'SINISTER 56'

Details

Known as 'Sinister 56,' this custom 1956 Chevrolet 3100 pickup was professionally built for SEMA 2018 by well-known Premier Street Rod in Lake Havasu, AZ. Power comes from a twin-turbo LS 427ci Redline Performance-built engine producing over 1,200rwhp with engine management allowing four different settings from mild to wild. The engine is mated to a Bowler-built TREMEC T56 6-speed manual transmission. To handle the horsepower, its foundation is a GSI Machine and Fabrication chassis equipped with

RideTech air suspension and AccuAir management system, allowing it to lay the rockers on the ground. The exterior is finished in custom PPG Slate Gray with all chrome and brightwork replaced with a custom brushed-nickel finish, adding to the sinister appearance. 'Sinister '56' rides on Michelin Pilot Sport tires mounted on custom one-off 20-inch wheels built by Billet Specialties with custom brushed-nickel hoops to match the exterior trim. The custom interior done by Ron Mangus Hotrod Interiors features a Vintage Air system, Dakota Digital instrumentation and a professionally tuned Mosconi stereo system with Focal speakers. The custom black walnut wood bed with a raised floor has an automated bed lift and a built-in beer cooler. The list of accolades is long, most notably the coveted SEMA Chevrolet Design Award 'Truck of The Year,' Classic Truck Magazine cover, centerfold and many other articles. This custom build has 600 miles on it since its completion.
