Only 260 miles on a body off frame custom build! It has some really
impressive features like an LSX motor, 6L80E overdrive
transmission, and a dually rear end! Not to mention a list of other
great features. The dually is really what makes it stand apart. I
haven't seen one, have you?
EXTERIOR: This is an all steel body, big back window bad boy! The
paint has some very tasteful metal flake in it that is laid out
perfectly and glistens like a diamond in the sun. All the panels
are nicely aligned, and the doors close like a new truck. The rear
tailgate is latched traditionally with a hook and chain. It has a
custom laser cut panel on the back that says "1955 concept dually"
All the emblems have been removed and filled to give a very sleek
look. The door handles were removed, and poppers were installed
that now opens by remote and there is a hidden button on the body
as well. The fuel filler and gas tank were relocated. All the glass
has been replaced with new seals and fuzzy strips too. The side and
back windows are real smoked glass, not stick on tints. Both the
bumpers have been blacked out and compliment the wheels very
nicely. We just had the rims painted black then added spiked studs
all the way around for that extra tough appearance. The wheels are
wrapped in LT265/75R16 Firestone TransForce AT tires. It has
halogen headlights and custom LED taillights. It even has a hitch
receiver, ready to go to work for you.
INTERIOR: What a great looking interior loaded with technology and
amenities! Everything is brand new from top to bottom and looks
spectacular. It now has a touch screen display where the radio
would be. It has many features including hands-free calling,
Bluetooth music, a backup camera plus more. It also has a very nice
analog/digital gauge cluster that lights up bright blue.
Transmission temperature and fuel pressure gauges have been added
to the dash as well. It has a trailer brake controller and Vintage
Air climate controls. It has an Ididit tilt steering column and
steering wheel as well. The door panels are custom, and controls
were added for the power windows. The headliner, visors, rearview
mirror, and carpeting have all been replaced. It has a modern gas
pedal and a modern shifter for the 6L80E transmission too. They are
both neatly tucked into the center console that also has cell phone
holders/wireless phone chargers, cup holders, USB charging ports
and more. That is nestled in between two modern bucket seats that
have headrests and many adjustments. They're complete with modern
style shoulder seat belts.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Super clean and show ready! GM crate LSX 376 is
putting out 450 hp. The LSX is a heavy-duty block designed to
handle extra power. Said to have a 9:1 compression ratio and is
built to handle a supercharger if that's the route you want to go.
It has modern fuel injection system with pressure gauge and coated
headers too. The front of the motor is decked out with polished
components, and it has a serpentine belt system also. It has a new
Vintage Air heat and a/c system. It also features a modern power
steering and power brakes with a polished master cylinder. A giant
Retro Rad radiator with dual electric fans and hard hoses keeps it
cool. A custom-made air intake tube leads into the fender well. The
fender wells are painted gloss black and have stainless bolts. It
has very fancy billet hinges with struts that help you easily lift
and close the big heavy hood. The hinges are manufactured by Eddie
Motorsports. The firewall is a smooth mirror and gives the illusion
the truck has 2 engines! There are LED lights on each fender wells
that illuminate the engine bay nicely for shows. The switch is
located under the dashboard.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The bed was widened and has enlarged wheel wells
also. It's painted the same color as the truck with stainless
bolts. The floor is a durable diamond plate that provides a custom
look. It cleverly has 12 volt and usb receptacles for your
tailgating adventures. It also has 12 volt jumper leads in the same
location.
UNDERSIDE: This truck was body off frame restored and the underside
looks spotless! Upfront is a fresh aluminum cross member with rack
& pinion steering and coil over shocks too. In the back are new
leaf springs, bushings, and Ridetech adjustable air shocks. It has
power disc brakes all the way around with new looking components.
Also equipped with a custom fat stainless exhaust with 4 small
Flowmaster polished stainless mufflers. The gas tank has been
relocated under the bed and is brand new with new lines as well.
Looking up at the LSX 376 cubic inch engine it has a Holley oil pan
and a high torque starter. That is paired with a new crate 6L80E
automatic overdrive transmission that is dressed in a B&M
finned high volume pan. Also equipped with a custom driveshaft that
transfers the power to a heavy duty Dana 80 dually rear end. It has
dual batteries in custom enclosures that are neatly tucked under
the cab. The frame has been fully prepped and painted plus the
floors are nearly painted black.
SERVICE: We went through the truck and tightened some fuel fittings
and tightened various suspension parts. We had the wheels painted
gloss black, added spiked lug nuts, new center caps, and balanced
the tires. We also replaced batteries in the remote key fobs.
CONCLUSION: It's a one of a kind! There's lots of cool trucks out
there, this one will stand out from all of them. This is a super
cool custom build with only 260 miles since completion. You get the
turnkey reliability of a powerhouse LSX modern fuel injected engine
and are able to cruise with ease because of the modern automatic
overdrive transmission. This truck started off just as a sweet idea
and was executed with great detail guaranteeing tons of fun for the
future owner!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for
virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant
amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my
professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to
assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are
answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video
that explains the car's condition in detail. **These cars are
displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car, make an
appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment
there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car,
your admission will be refunded, and you will be given a 1 year
membership.
