Vehicle Description
Beautifully built with all the amenities. 350 Chevrolet V8 built by
Michael's, 700R4 4-speed automatic, cold A/C, power steering, power
disc brakes, power leather seats, and more. Runs and drives
properly, looks awesome, ready to cruise!If you're looking for a
street rod that does everything well, this 1946 Chevy pickup should
fill the bill quite nicely. It has all the features and amenities
that everyone expects these days, it's professionally built so it
drives right, and it looks fantastic from any angle. The paint is
recent and the two-tone Hugger Orange and purple combination
highlights the Chevy's Art-Deco shape. It's clean, with no add-ons
or questionable body modifications and it's so nicely done that
you'll note the two-tone scheme even wraps into the door jambs.
Gaps are uniformly tight, suggesting that someone invested plenty
of time in getting everything to fit properly, and the doors close
with reassuring solidity thanks to bear claw latches. Most of the
trim has been painted to match the bodywork, which gives it a sleek
look, but a few splashes of chrome make it work, including the
headlight rings and the billet aluminum taillights. The bed has
been smoothed and tidied up a bit and offers a power hard-shell
tonneau cover and a beautiful oak and stainless floor. Opening it
up always draws a crowd at shows. You'll also note a custom Vee'd
windshield, tri-bar headlights, and sport mirrors that are so
nicely integrated they look like they've been there all along. The
truck's soul is 1946, but the execution is very modern.The gray
leather interior is anchored by a pair of power bucket seats from a
late model with everything else stitched to match. The seat backs
were customized to fit in the 1946 cab, and while there's a little
wear on the driver's side, there's still nothing better than OEM
hardware when it comes to durability. You'll note the custom door
panels were stitched to match the exterior paint, and 3-point seat
belts were added in the name of safety. There's also a center
console with power window controls, a tilt steering column with a
wood-rimmed wheel, and even a pair of cupholders that probably came
from the same OEM source as the seats. The dashboard is a
completely custom piece with a beautiful wood instrument panel
housing a full array of VDO gauges and eyeball vents for the A/C.
Plush carpets help with noise and heat (there's Dynamat throughout
the cab) and a beautifully stitched headliner makes it feel
finished. There's also an overhead console with map lights and a
Pioneer AM/FM/CD stereo head unit. This truck was built with
comfort in mind.The engine is a 358 cubic inch Chevy V8 (that's a
350 with an .060 overbore) built by the pros at Michael's Racing
Engines. It's full of good stuff, including ARP fasteners, roller
rockers, and Chevy fuelie heads on top, and it's all documented
with a detailed build sheet. An Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor
provides the mix and an electronic ignition system lights it up.
There's plenty of chrome and polished aluminum under the hood and
you'll note that the smoothed firewall continues the exterior paint
theme. A big aluminum radiator keeps it cool with the help of an
electric fan and the accessories are tucked in tight for easy
packaging and service. It starts easily and runs great, and there
are only about 6000 miles on the build so it's ready to rock. It's
happy on pump gas and thanks to a 700R4 4-speed automatic
transmission and 3.73 gears in the 12-bolt rear end, it's a great
highway cruiser. The front suspension is a Mustang II setup with
power rack-and-pinion steering and disc brakes, while the rear is
standard leaf springs (it's a pickup truck, after all). Dual
Flowmaster mufflers sound awesome and there's a stainless gas tank
hanging out back. 17-inch Billet Specialties wheels fill the
fenders with fresh 215/50/17 front and 255/55/17 rear Goodyear
radials. Documentation includes receipts and miscellaneous
paperwork on the build.This was an extremely expensive build and it
shows. The truck drives right, everything works, and it's beautiful
from any angle. It has won awards at some big-name shows and it's
100% ready to rumble right now. You could probably build one for
twice as much money, but why? This one is finished, sorted, and
proven. Don't wait, call today!Harwood Motors always recommends and
