Vehicle Description
This 1949 Chevrolet 3100 custom 5-window all-steel pickup was
hand-built by HJ Customs and has won numerous awards, such as the
Builders Choice Award at Salt Lake City 2021 Goodguys show, Best of
Show at Hot August Nights 2021 and Best of Show at Cool Cars Hot
Days car show in Eagle, ID. It has been fully restored with high
attention to detail; as an example, the wheels, steering wheel and
air conditioning vents all match. The pickup sits on an Art
Morrison chassis that has been color-matched to the truck and is
complete with independent front and rear suspension with adjustable
coilovers on all four corners. Corvette brakes are used for
stopping power for a brand-new GM crate LS3 V8 engine using a
Holley Terminator fuel-injection system with the vintage look of a
carburetor. The engine is backed by a new 4L60 automatic
transmission that matches the interior color. The engine has Holley
vintage valve covers, an All American Billet serpentine kit, Billet
Specialties air filter, long-tube headers and remote coil packs.
The body has subtle modifications like a one-piece windshield,
frenched headlights, tucked front and rear bumpers, one-piece
running boards, extended bedpost into the running boards, rear tail
pan apron made into one piece with a frenched-in license plate,
smoothed tailgate with latching system and under-bed fuel cell with
flush-mount fuel door. The entire truck body has been smoothed,
gapped and panel-matched. The firewall has also been smoothed out
with smoothed vented custom inner fender wells. The brake system is
an under-floor system to keep it clean under the hood. The bed has
been mini-tubbed to fit the gorgeous 20x12-inch Billet Specialties
Bonneville G wheels with a custom bed wood stain. The custom Saddle
Tan interior is hand-built and hand-stitched, including a custom
leather headliner with door panels to match, and a custom center
console to house the double-DIN radio with backup camera. The sound
system uses all Kicker speakers with an 8-inch subwoofer. Dakota
Digital RTX gauges that look vintage but are all digital, Resto-Mod
air vents and Vintage Air climate control system, power windows,
power locks and heated seats are all also included. Inside also
features an Ididit tilt steering column for added comfort while
driving, Lokar brake and gas pedal, and Lokar floor shifter.
