UNLIKE A LOT OF CHASSIS SWAPS, THIS ONE KEEPS ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL BODY LINES AND LOOKS FACTORY, KEEPING ALL THE ORIGINAL CHARACTERISTICS THAT MADE THESE 1950'S CHEVY TRUCKS THE MOST DESIRABLE EVER MADE. A SUPER SHARP, CRISP, VIPER BLUE PAINT GIVES THE CHROME TRIM PIECES PLENTY OF POP, AND THE TWO-TONE INTERIOR ARE SURE TO HAVE EVERY EYE AT THE SHOW LOOKING DIRECTLY AT YOU! CHECK OUT THE DETAILING ON THE REAR FENDERS, DOOR GAPS, AND THE BIG HOOD THAT SITS FLUSH WITH THE PEAKED FENDERS NEXT TO IT.

THE BED WAS CUSTOM DONE TOO, INCLUDING WOOD THROUGHOUT PLUS A SET OF STAKE SIDES THAT ARE REMOVABLE SO YOU CAN ALTER THE LOOK TO SUIT YOUR MOOD! STUFFING A MODERN CHASSIS UNDER AN OLD PICKUP IS NOT NEARLY AS EASY AS IT SEEMS. THE 305 CID V/8 IS TOPPED 4-BARREL CARB AND HAS NUMEROUS MODERN ACCESSORIES, LIKE POWER FRONT DISC BRAKES, POWER STEERING, A NEW ALUMINUM RADIATOR THAT IS WRAPPED IN SHINY DIAMOND PLATE FOR AN INDUSTRIAL-STRENGTH LOOK THAT ALSO HELPS KEEP THINGS COOL.

THE INTERIOR IS AN UNEXPECTED TREAT, WITH CUSTOM BLUE AND WHITE BUCKETS (POWER ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE) THAT ANCHOR A BRILLIANT TWO-TONE INTERIOR. MOST EVERYTHING YOU CAN SEE OR TOUCH WAS MODIFIED IN SOME WAY, FROM THE DOOR PANELS TO THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. IT'S STILL GOT HEAVY-DUTY FLOOR COVERINGS AND A FLOOR-MOUNTED, HI-BOY SHIFTER RIGHT THERE BETWEEN THE SEATS WHERE IT BELONGS, AND A CENTER CONSOLE IS A WELCOME ADDITION FOR THOSE LONG ROAD TRIPS. THE ORIGINAL DASH WAS RESTORED BUT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL IS NOW FILLED WITH WHITE-FACED AUTO METER GAUGES FOR A MODERN LOOK. THE A/C IS UNOBTRUSIVE BUT HIGHLY EFFECTIVE, THERE'S A POWERFUL AM/FM/CD STEREO HEAD UNIT IN THE DASH, POWER WINDOWS, AND A TILT COLUMN FOR COMFORT. THE GRANT GT STEERING WHEEL IS WRAPPED IN MATCHING WHITE LEATHER TO TIE THE INTERIOR TOGETHER AND THERE'S A "BIGFOOT" ACCELERATOR PEDAL JUST FOR FUN.
