Vehicle Description
Fully sorted and ready to roll, this pickup recently received a
roof-to-rocker makeover and a striking coat of blue and white
two-stage paint over solid panels that received a thorough massage
during their restoration. At the front of the truck is a chrome
grille, a fresh chrome bumper, halogen headlights and a shaved
hood. The one-piece windshield leads a 5-window cab. The wood bed
is detailed with polished rail plugs and stainless skid strips. The
smooth tailgate has fresh chains and a custom roll pan that is
fitted with flush taillights. Under the hood resides a 350ci LS1 V8
engine. Straight from the factory, this fully sorted mill combines
a sturdy aluminum block with lightweight aluminum heads,
coil-near-plug ignition and aluminum flattop pistons. A
factory-spec serpentine system spins a polished alternator and
modern air conditioning compressor at the sides of a polished
Street & Performance air cleaner. The engine is also equipped with
a factory-spec throttle body to a composite intake, stock
internals, GM electronic fuel injection, a pair of PaceSetter
long-tube headers, and a large aluminum radiator fitted with a
large electric puller fan. The dressed LS1 sends power to a 4L65E
4-speed automatic transmission that spins a Ford 9” axle fitted
with 3.56 gears. The drivetrain pushes a Fatman Fabrications frame
on a custom 4-link suspension with modern coilover shocks. The
upgraded front clip is fitted with tubular control arms and power
rack & pinion steering. Stopping power is provided by 4-wheel power
disc brakes. True dual exhaust breathes through MagnaFlow mufflers.
Polished billet Boyd Coddington directional wheels twist Nitto
NT555 Extreme ZR tires. Inside the cab, a custom Chevrolet-branded
dash hangs a locking glovebox and Classic Instruments gauges above
controls for modern air conditioning. Modern leather seats
featuring power adjustment for the driver, frame a small, custom
LED-lit console that positions a tall armrest and dual cup holders
between a Kicker amp and subwoofer, and a remote-controlled Pioneer
CD/DVD player. The interior also features color-keyed floor mats,
billet foot pedals, polished handles, custom headliner, billet
mirror, and a tilt steering column with a polished billet Hot Rods
by Boyd steering wheel.
