Vehicle Description
1958 Chevrolet Custom Pickup
In the last few years there have been a rising number of trucks
showing up at shows and this one is ready to do just that. This
slightly custom body off restored 1958 Chevrolet Pickup has a
beautiful look and was very well done. The word "clean" comes to
mind when checking it out because it is clear there was a lot of
attention to detail with no component overlooked. Subtle features
like hiding all the wiring under the hood takes the truck to the
next level and really sets it apart from your average resto mod
pickup. The body is in great condition and is coated in a nice
Black paint that has a very high quality finish. While the body was
off the frame was powder coated which really cleans up the
undercarriage nicely. It has all new front and rear bumpers which
have a beautiful shine along with the new grill. All of the
original side and hood trim pieces have been removed with the holes
fill for a nice slick exterior. The glass has been replaced
throughout and this pickup has the small window in back. One of the
most eye catching features on these old trucks is always the bed
and this one has been completely redone with all new dark wood. It
has a beautiful look and the polished runners were replaced as
well. A custom frame was built to mount in the back and hold an ice
chest which comes with the truck. It was constructed in a way to be
stable and steady moving down the road but not damage the bed
underneath so load up your drinks along with your car show gear and
you are set for the day. The truck has a great stance with a slight
forward rake and rides on chrome rally wheels.
Powering the pickup is a 454 V8 motor that is all new. It has been
bored 30 over and features an aftermarket cam, headers, 780cfm
Holley carburetor, MSD ignition, Tru Track serpentine belt system
and Edelbrock manifold. Topping off the engine is a very cool one
of a kind custom built air cleaner that connects to the front
shroud which is also all custom. Everything in the engine
compartment is very well done and has a clean finished look. Small
details like the custom housing for the AC/Heat hoses shows how
much meticulous work went into the build. The firewall is painted
in the gloss Black with the underside of the hood and front shroud
done in more of a matte Black wrinkle finish. This creates a really
cool contrast and makes for a show ready appearance that is easy to
maintain. It isn't just looks though because the motor runs very
strong and delivers a deep rumble through the 3" exhaust with
Flowmasters. During the rebuild a 76 Camaro front clip was added
with disc brakes and a 9" Ford rear end with disc brakes as well.
The rear is a limited slip with 2:75 gears and 31 spline axles.
Paired with the engine is a Turbo 400 automatic transmission that
moves through the gears with ease. In addition to power brakes the
truck has power steering and AC so you have all of the comforts of
that daily driver. Another important feature to mention is the
relocation of the gas tank. Originally these tanks were mounted
behind the seat and notorious for letting some of that gasoline
smell leak into the cab. Well that is no issues here because the
tank has been relocated to under the bed with a flush mounted pop
out door on the drivers side rear fender. This also opened up the
area behind the seat for a lot more storage space.
The interior is complete in Black leather upholstery with a very
comfortable split bench seat with armrest. The dash has been
repainted in Black and houses the new original style gauges and
AM/FM stereo. The AC is a Vintage Air underdash unit that blows
cold with no problems. On the doors you will find the original
style window cranks but these have been customized to actually
operate the power windows. In front of the driver is an Ididit
steering column that is nicely topped off with a vintage Impala
steering wheel.
This is a very well built pickup that is fresh with only 2,400
miles since being completed. It drives well and always performs
well at shows. To build one like it would cost more than the asking
price so save yourself some time, money and labor by getting this
fully restored custom pickup today!
