Introduction: Just over 700 miles since a complete body off frame, custom restoration. It has a lot of features that would cost a lot of money to duplicate like the two-tone paint job, luxurious interior and a performance big block.

EXTERIOR: The body's been cleaned up by removing the moldings, emblems and gas cap. A cowl hood was added to give a hint there may be some muscle sitting below it. Beautiful custom paint job with black cherry metallic on the bottom, red metallic on top and it's broken up with a lime pinstripe. The paint scheme even continues in the jambs. The front bumper is smooth with no bumper bolts or turn signals, those are now behind the custom grille. The rear chrome bumper is smoothed out as well. The glass was replaced, the vent windows were removed for a cleaner one piece glass. It's sitting on 17 inch American Racing five spoke polished wheels wrapped in performance tires.

INTERIOR: It has a very classy custom upholstery job. The bench seat, door panels and even the headliner are matching materials with custom stitching. I like the cup holders built right into the seat! Dash pads are also upholstered to match. It has a new chrome instrument bezel which is home to some sharp looking white face custom gauges. The glovebox door was chromed like a mirror. A retro stereo fits in the factory location, there are kick panel speakers delivering your favorite songs. Upgraded Vintage Air heater controls that have electric slides instead of cables. The walnut steering wheel is mounted on a chrome tilt column. It has nice carpet down on the floor with matching floor mats. It was given an updated wiring system and it even has power windows!

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: 454 big block built by Tom Hall. It has rectangular port heads, and Enduarashine intake, dual feed Holley carb, HEI ignition and coated headers. CVF front runner system with polished a/c compressor, brackets, pulleys and alternator. Chrome hydroboost power steering and brakes. An electric water pump aluminum radiator, dual electric fans keeps it running cool. The engine bay is smoothed out and painted glossy.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Inside the bed is very impressive, it carries the same two-tone custom paint as the exterior. The floor is done in refinished oak with smooth stainless strips. There is the relocated flush mount fuel cap on the floor too.

UNDERSIDE: It has been body off the frame restored! The suspension and steering was rebuilt and has upgraded swaybars.The exhaust is custom stainless with X-Pipe, Flowmaster mufflers and polished tips. It also has a custom fuel system with a stainless tank. Upgraded to Wilwood drilled and slotted disc brakes at all four wheels. Looking up at the motor it has a chrome oil pan and flywheel cover. The trans is an FTI Performance 700R4 overdrive stage 3 automatic. A driveshaft leads back to the 12 bolt rear end. The floors are in outstanding shape, they're sprayed with a color matched chip guard paint. The chassis has been painted, I see a lot of new hardware showing.

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 service the essentials on every car we sell.

CONCLUSION: This isn't your typical restored truck, it was taken next level making it a show worthy custom. When you're not at the shows collecting trophies you can be enjoying the power from that big block and the comforts of the air conditioning!

However, opinions can vary, and I strongly recommend a personal inspection to form your own view. Our sales team is always available to answer any questions you may have. One great option is to request a personalized walk-around video, where we can showcase the car and share our team's insights.
