Rotisserie restored custom build from an Art Morrison chassis to a crate LS motor and Vintage Air.

EXTERIOR: This 55 Chevy truck really has the look! The outstanding restoration is sitting on just the right stance and boy look at those wheels! The body is smooth and clean. There are no emblems and the gas filler was relocated. The doors shut very nicely and the hood now tilts forward. It's all metal including the fenders. The metallic red paint is polished out to a high gloss finish. All of the glass has been replaced, the side vent windows have been removed for a one piece door window. The Chrome, weatherstrips and seals have been replaced. Upgraded LEDs in the taillights. Awesome looking 20x8 and 20x11 Bastille Forged 2 piece wheels are wrapped in performance tires.

INTERIOR: Inside is modern and comfortable. The metal trim is painted like the exterior and a set of White face Auto Meter gauges sit in a polished bezel. New knobs, the Vintage Air electric climate control levers look stock. Down on the floor is fresh carpet and mats along with a Lokar shifter. The TMI seat looks and feels great, the door panels are custom upholstered. There's a hidden stereo with kick panel speakers and MTX box speakers. Overhead there's a headliner, 1 visor and a new mirror. New wiring system throughout.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The power plant is a GM Performance crate motor: LS 6.0L making 450 hp by using an LS6 can and LS3 heads. This one is being fed by a FiTech fuel injection system and exhales through stainless headers. It's looking good too dressed in black. I especially like the Chevrolet script coil covers. The front has a blacked-out billet runner system with mini a/c compressor, serpentine pulleys, modern alternator, and power steering with a remote reservoir. The blacked-out aluminum radiator with electric fan keeps it running cool and has a cool looking overflow bottle that matches the power steering reservoir. The firewall and inner fenders are all smoothed out custom panels and painted gloss red. It's a clutter free area with hidden hoses and wires.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: It has a good ole fashion tailgate with wrapped chains. The bed floor is raised to accommodate the lowered stance. The walls are as slick as the body and has wheel well extensions to give clearance to the fat tires. The floor is a good looking gray stained wood with polished stainless strips and a flush mounted fuel filler.

UNDERSIDE: An Art Morrison GT Sport chassis provides the great stance, handling, and comfortable ride. It starts with a rigid 2x6 boxed frame and upfront is an independent suspension with optional polished stainless tubular control arms, coilover adjustable gas shocks, heavy duty swaybar, rack & pinion steering. In back is a 4 link system with fat tubular control arms, swaybar, coilover adjustable gas shocks and a polished stainless panhard bar. This has a very nicely installed stainless exhaust with Borla mufflers. It has a Wilwood brake system with drilled and slotted disc at all four wheels. A custom fuel system is compatible with the fuel injection and has a relocated polished fuel tank. Looking up at the motor it has a Holley oil pan and a high torque starter The transmission is a 4L60E electronic overdrive. A custom driveshaft leads back to a Speedway 9 inch rear end with backbone support that has been chrome plated. Every component under this truck down to the nuts and bolts have been replaced. The floors are pristine metal sprayed in a color matched red chip guard paint.

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 is so we can sell you the best cars within reason.

Classic look of a vintage truck with modern performance and reliability using the latest and greatest components!
