Vehicle Description
'El Chueco' is this Radical, No Expense Spared Build 1940 Chevrolet
Custom Hot-Rod Pickup finished in Blue Metallic with a Blue and
White vinyl interior. Powered by a monstrous 472c.i. Cadillac V8
that was factory rated at 375hp/525lb-ft of torque and back backed
by a TH400 automatic transmission. This is no ordinary pickup.
Sitting lower than most cars and producing power and noise seen in
race cars, this thing is, quite simply, A Beast! The Blue Metallic
paint alone is eye-catching, but the extra curb-appeal added to
this custom truck will blow you away. Nicknamed "El Chueco" and
sporting a look you won't see anywhere else, this truck is
everything your imagination could think of and more.The bodywork
boasts custom bright blue metal flake paint with hand-done flames
and pinstriping, shaved handles, mirrors and bumpers, and it
features a custom nose with open engine bay, which is fully matched
to the rest of the truck right down to the pinstriped Cadillac air
cleaner and color-matched engine block. The customized bed houses a
stainless fuel tank and sits on a bespoke, box section rear frame.
The front end received the classic hot rod treatment with dropped
spindles, disc brakes, and inverted leaf spring, while the rear
suspension is upgraded with coil springs and adjustable air
shocks.View a short video of this awesome truck
