Vehicle Description
Step back in time and experience the perfect fusion of classic
style and modern performance with this fully custom 1947 Chevrolet
3100 Thriftmaster Pickup. This stunning street rod is the result of
a meticulous build process that has transformed a vintage workhorse
into a true masterpiece of automotive art.
The truck features GM sheet metal throughout, with the exception of
the custom-built bed box. The cab has undergone an extensive
electrolysis dip by American Metal Refinishing, ensuring a flawless
and rust-free foundation for the build. The exterior is finished in
a sleek and era-correct Dusty Gray paint that perfectly complements
the truck's timeless design.
Under the hood, you'll find a powerful 350 CI V-8 engine that has
been meticulously built by the experts at Sommers Racing Engines in
Vancouver, Washington. The engine has been balanced, blueprinted,
and bored 0.030 over, and features a roller camshaft for improved
performance. A 4-barrel carburetor, tuned by Loper's Performance
Center in Phoenix, Arizona, delivers smooth and responsive throttle
control.
The truck's factory chassis has been painted a vibrant red and
features a host of suspension upgrades, including a 3-inch drop
axle, Posies Super Slide springs, and QA1 shocks in the front,
along with new bearings, bushings, and shackles. In the rear,
bolt-in TCI leaf springs provide a smooth and comfortable ride. The
truck also features power steering for effortless maneuverability
and a new stainless-steel fuel tank for reliable performance.
Inside, the truck has been fully customized with a luxurious red
leather interior, including a Glide Engineering seat, Nu Relics
power windows, and a hidden Vintage Air Gen II unit for ultimate
comfort. The interior also features cruise control, hidden hoses,
and a custom hidden stereo system for a clean and streamlined look.
Dynamat sound deadening throughout ensures a quiet and comfortable
ride.
Other notable features of this custom build include a 3-core
aluminum radiator with an electric fan, a finished bed with
polished hardware, a 1980 Camaro Positraction rear end with 3.73
gears, and custom American Racing T70R 5-spoke wheels (17x7 in the
front and 17x9 in the rear). The truck also features updated Bear
Claw latches for a classic touch.
