Step into the limelight with this slick custom truck! The 383 stroker and 5 speed manual is a quick, fun, and easy to use drivetrain combo. A fuel injection system provides you with turnkey reliability. And the looks speak for themself, with killer body work and paint that will leave you at the center of attention wherever you cruise!

EXTERIOR: The PPG Lime Green Metallic paint is slick like a piece of glass. It was laid out with great attention to detail and has a very reflective finish. Looking down the side of the body it is straight as an arrow with smooth contours and crisp lines. All the panels are nicely aligned with gaps that are well above average. The doors close easily with minimal effort. The white metallic pearl colored roof adds the perfect pop. It has the optional cargo lamp, dual side mirrors, and a removable soft vinyl tonneau cover. All the tinted glass was replaced, as were the rubber seals. The chrome has a glorious shine. It is upgraded with Halogen headlights plus LED tail, marker, and reverse lights. It's rolling on a set of 20" American Racing Torque Thrust II chrome wheels. They are wrapped in nice Radial tires that are fatter in the back. The green Baer brake calipers are a nice compliment to the overall aesthetic.

INTERIOR: The white houndstooth bench seat was reupholstered and has retractable shoulder belts. The headliner, sun visors, and carpeting were all replaced. The upper and lower portions of the door panels plus the pillars and ceiling are all painted slick just like the body. The middle section of the doors and the dash were both painted white just like the roof. It has upgraded digital/analog gauges by Dakota Digital. The Retrosound Bluetooth capable stereo has extra kick panel speakers and a subwoofer under the seat with a gain controller too. The upgraded climate control is very easy to use. Extra air vents were added to the dash and the pad was replaced. The Holley Sniper EFI controller is easily accessible, and the wiring harness was redone with a modern fuse block. Of course, we can't forget about the Hurst 5 speed manual shifter sitting proudly front and center.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Under the hood is a stout 383 stroker engine that's topped off with a Edelbrock intake and Holley Sniper fuel injection system for added reliability. It's also equipped with Vintage Air A/C, hydraulic clutch, power steering, and power brakes with proportioning valve. The ribbed aluminum valve covers and air cleaner really dress things up. Flanked by a set of Heddman Hedders, the engine also has a serpentine belt drive system and an HEI distributor. An upgraded Champion aluminum radiator with dual electric fans keeps the powerplant cool. The horn is hooked up and all the wiring looks fresh. The hood hinges were nicely refinished. The underside of the hood and firewall were both painted body color.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Open the tailgate and you will see the jamb is painted just like the exterior and the hinges were refurbished. This is useable! The backside of the tailgate and all inside the bed has been neatly sprayed with Raptor lining. It also has a soft vinyl tonneau cover that is removable. The relocated gas filler cap is now located at the rear of the bed.

UNDERSIDE: The steering components were refreshed during restoration and work well. The fat front swaybar has fresh bushings and hardware. It was upgraded with lowering springs, and it has adjustable Ride Tech HQ Fox shocks at all wheels. It also has front and rear disc brakes, paint matched calipers, and drilled/slotted rotors all the way around. The exhaust now has a nice set of Heddman Hedders leading to 2.5" pipes with Street Flow mufflers that sound really tough. It also has a new gas tank with a Holley fuel pump that was relocated to the rear of the bed with a flush mount filler too. Looking up at the 383 stroker engine it has a high torque starter. The Tremec TKO600 5 speed manual transmission looks fresh, and the driveshaft appears to be rebuilt as well. A 12 bolt posi rear end with 3.55 gearing puts the power to the pavement. This could very well be a frame off restoration with solid satin black floors and a semi gloss black frame. The cab and bed mounts were also replaced.

SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and hired a team of technicians to work it. This truck was serviced including the heat, a/c, brakes and more.

This one of a kind lime green truck will reclaim your zest for life! Get in, turn the key, and shift your way to a fresh start without breaking the bank! Honestly, it's as nice as others we've sold for much more money!
