Vehicle Description
This classic 1948 5-window short-bed Chevy pickup underwent a
6-year nut-and-bolt custom restoration. It was built to be an
aggressive yet manageable driver with good handling and comforts.
Powered by a first-generation 350ci, 4-bolt, full-roller
supercharged engine with a March serpentine pulley system and
aluminum 4-core radiator with custom shroud for quiet cooling fan
operation. The engine comes equipped with titanium-wrapped
jet-coated headers, backed by a 700R4 4-speed automatic bowtie
transmission and a two-piece chromoly driveshaft. It has vintage
electronic gauges with an American wiring harness that is
completely hidden from view. It rolls on a Z/28 tubular control arm
chassis with adjustable coilovers and sway bars in the front and
rear. It has a Wilwood 4-piston, 4-wheel disc brake system and a
26.6-gallon fuel capacity. Leaving the factory styling of
yesteryear intact, many subtle changes were made to the body,
including a one-piece glass windshield as well as tucked-in bumpers
and custom-wrapped running boards. Features a tri-tone, split bench
seat and simplified dash area with Vintage Air, power windows,
Kenwood Bluetooth CD system and an Ididit polished steering column
with banjo wheel. The wood bed is made from aged oak with a
tri-color stain and UV protected satin clear coat and
stainless-steel bolts throughout.
