Vehicle Description
This custom 1954 Chevrolet 3100 pickup has been built out from top
to bottom with modern conveniences. When the build began, the shop
stripped the truck to its bare frame, which was then boxed before
it began upgrading. The stock inline-6 engine was replaced with a
ZZ 350 Chevrolet V8 crate engine. It is equipped with an electronic
ignition, a performance intake and a Holley 600 carburetor. An
aluminum radiator keeps the truck cool and ceramic-coated headers
are affixed to a 2.5-inch Flowmaster exhaust that runs out the back
of the truck. The engine is mated to a TH350 automatic transmission
that sends power to the rear wheels. In place of the original gas
tank, an aluminum fuel cell has been placed under the bed for
easier fueling. A 4-link rear suspension was installed, and Heidts
Hot Rod Shop provided coilovers for the rear. Up front, Heidts also
provided a full front-end setup with rack & pinion steering and
4-wheel power disc brakes to help slow things down. The underside
was coated with RAPTOR color-matching rubberized undercoat. The
bodywork and the orange paint are well-done, and the bed has
received a fully wooden floor. A set of halogen headlights adorn
the front of the vehicle. On the inside, a fully custom interior
provides comfort and features numerous hidden modern updates. Tan
leather covers the bench seat and door cards that accent the
dashboard, which is color-matched to the exterior. An Ididit chrome
steering column and custom billet wheel make getting in and out
much easier. Brand new Dolphin gauges provide accurate readouts and
power windows have been added for convenience. This Chevrolet has
been upgraded with a Vintage Air system to keep the cabin cool and
a full Pioneer Electronics stereo.
