1952 Chevrolet 5-Window Pickup Truck
Car History
We have a dark blue 1952 Chevrolet 5-window pickup truck here at
Adventure Classics that has had a professional restoration and
modified into a gorgeous street rod truck.
The 1952 trucks are one of the most popular trucks of all time is a
surefire way to attract attention. Chevrolet broke away from prewar
truck styling marketed as the Advanced Design trucks. They placed
an emphasis on cab comfort and safety.
For the 1952 models, stylists conceived the five-window cab,
formally known as the Deluxe Cab, to eliminate the blind spots in
the rear quarter panels of the cab. This allowed the driver to look
over his shoulder to view the rear instead of poking his head out
the window.
Engine & Drivetrain
Underneath the metal hood resides a 350 cubic inch small block
Chevrolet V8 engine that provides a lot more power than the
original six-cylinder. It is reliable and powerful with the
addition of a performance carb, Polished Air Cleaner and Polished
Valve Covers, Headers and Dual Exhaust w/throaty aggressive rumble,
Performance Spark Plug Wires, Custom Radiator and Electric Fan, and
Power Steering & Brakes with disc brakes on the front.
It is mated to an automatic transmission so this truck just begs
for the next rod run rolling on 5-spoke grey and polished mag
wheels and black sidewall tires to finish the period custom
look.
Interior
Inside it has a comfortable bench seat wrapped in black vinyl and
blue cloth that looks and feels great as you are driving. The blue
painted dash has performance Stewart Warner gauges nestled into the
wood grain and features black carpeting and Chevrolet floor
mats.
The tilt steering column is topped by a brushed aluminum steering
wheel that really gives the interior an upscale feel with
entertainment coming from a custom stereo radio system that's
integrated into the dash.
Exterior
The great dark blue paint is applied over very straight bodywork
and shines night or day. It has well-restored chrome and trim, the
desirable 5-window cab, fresh wood in the bed is beautifully
restored, and great front and rear chrome bumpers.
Conclusion
The 1952 Chevrolet 5-window pickup truck here at Adventure Classics
is beautifully built with the right look, stance, and modern
powerplant, and it is everything you want in a custom classic
pickup truck.
