For Sale at Auction: 1951 Chevrolet Truck in Scottsdale, Arizona

The 1951 Chevrolet 5700 COE Crew Custom Hauler is powered by a rebuilt 5.9 Turbo Cummins diesel engine paired with an automatic transmission and supported by two transmission coolers and two radiator coolers to ensure efficient power and temperature management. It features Laker pipes, an air-over-hydraulic cab pump system, electronic hood locks and a cab that raises 3 feet with a built-in safety locker, providing full and secure access to the engine and transmission. The chassis utilizes a handcrafted twin-frame construction with one frame nested inside the other, an independent front suspension system, front hydro-assist disc brakes, a tag axle with a total of 10 wheels using 235/85R16 tires and full custom aluminum rims. It rides on rear air suspension, and both the front and rear wheel wells are flared to accommodate the custom stance and wheel configuration. Exterior components begin with a full custom Inferno Orange paint finish applied following the frame-off restoration, new door handles and latches, a suicide-style passenger-side door, deluxe rear corner cab windows, mud flaps and a GM deluxe sun visor mounted above the front split windshield that measures 105 inches long and 4 inches in diameter. The front bumper incorporates recessed driving lights, built-in parking sensors, a fully enclosed valence and shaved mounting bolts, while the headlights are Frenched and fitted with halogen units. The truck is equipped with LED lighting throughout, nostalgic beacon lights, additional beacon-style backup lighting at the deck and electronic security for hood access. Rear equipment includes a rollback deck measuring 18.5 feet long and 94 inches wide, finished in non-skid aluminum with more than 16 integrated tie-down points along each side and dual 21x58-inch under-deck aluminum storage cabinets. The hydraulic system that operates the deck is belt-driven, and the truck is fitted with a 9,500-pound winch featuring Roam electronic cell-phone control for remote operation. Additional exterior systems include twin 12-volt compressors for the air-ride suspension, an emergency trouble light that extends to the rear wheels, auxiliary booster-cable capability by routing through the winch power port and general-purpose utility lighting placed around the vehicle for visibility during loading and roadside operations. The fully customized interior includes four new leather bucket seats and a 5-foot-wide rear bench that measures 37 inches deep and can be converted into a bed when the back seats fold down. It is equipped with a Vintage Air climate-control system, power windows and power locks, tilt steering, electric wiper motors, and a modified dashboard with its lower section extended downward by an additional 5 inches to house switching for the hood locks and other controls. Entertainment features include a Kenmore stereo system with two DVD players, one dash-mounted and one ceiling-mounted for rear passengers. Every aspect of the interior and exterior was completed as part of an extensive handcrafted frame-off restoration, and the cab has been stretched to a total measurement of 86 inches from the front nose to the rear of the deck, bringing the overall length to 32 feet, 7 inches.
