Vehicle Description
This nut-and-bolt rotisserie build was finished in 2018 with no
expense spared. This 1958 Chevrolet Big-Window Resto-Mod Apache
pickup is finished in Palladium Silver Metallic complemented by a
black leather interior. This pickup is upgraded with a Vintage Air
system, power windows, power steering and a tilt steering column
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 aluminum gas tank, which has been
relocated under the bed. Earl's 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
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 BFGoodrich
G-Force Comp 2 tires. Finally, updated cross-drilled and slotted
disc brakes have been installed for added safety and stopping
power. This build has less than 60 test miles on the clock since
its completion.
