Vehicle Description
This fresh, professional nut-and-bolt rotisserie build was recently
finished with no expense spared. This 1958 Chevrolet Big-Window
Resto-Mod Apache pickup is stunning. The Palladium Silver Metallic
finish is complemented with a black leather interior. This beauty
is upgraded with a Vintage Air system, power windows, power
steering, tilt steering column and power brakes for the convenience
of a modern-day vehicle. The professionally built powerhouse 454ci
V8 big-block engine is a Generation 5 Chevrolet 454. The engine is
backed by a freshly built TH400 automatic transmission with manual
valve body, 2500 rpm stall converter and a B&M quarter stick
shifter. The mid-length headers flow out to dual 3" exhaust with
short mufflers, creating the sound of a hot rod. Feeding this
powerhouse is a Mallory Comp series 250 fuel pump from the new
aluminum gas tank, which has been relocated under the bed. Earls
braided fuel lines and dual filters have been used eliminating
rubber fuel lines. When it is time to top off at the pump, the
billet flip cap fuel filler cap is easily accessible. The aluminum
two-core radiator with dual 11" electric fans cools the engine.
Underneath, the frame has been media blasted and painted with POR15
for rust prevention. On the corners, the new U.S. Mags chrome
Rambler staggered wheel set give this Resto-Mod a lowered stance
allowing drivability and comfort without the hassles of notching or
air bags. The wheels are wrapped in new BFGoodrich G-Force Comp 2
tires. Finally, updated new cross-drilled and slotted disc brakes
have been installed for added safety and stopping power. This fresh
build has 32 test miles on the clock since its completion.
