INTRODUCTION: Crowd favorite! Award winner! Extremely impressive
amount of meticulous attention to detail. This custom built truck
is a calendar and magazine feature vehicle. We also have a large
binder of photos to document the quality build plus a big stack of
receipts. $150,000 spent with less than 1,700 miles since
completion in 2020. A quote from the previous owner: "I showed it a
lot and it won everywhere I took it". In addition to the attractive
aesthetic, this truck is a real performer with its 570 horsepower
502 cubic inch power plant. Other driver friendly improvements
include overdrive transmission, air conditioning, custom interior,
a custom suspension, and much more. All the hard work has been
done, the only thing you need to worry about is which car show you
are going to steal the spotlight at next!

EXTERIOR: Subtle and spectacular, is that possible? This truck says
it is! There is an extensive amount of body mods giving it a clean
look. All of the emblems, moldings and marker lights were removed
and filled. The rain gutters were shaved, fuel filler relocated and
stake pockets were filled. The front and back have smoothie bumpers
tucked into the body and the taillights are recessed flush. A cowl
hood was added as a minor indicator that this truck has some muscle
and it was given a smooth tailgate. It is completely rust free
metal and it is precision gapped to perfection. The paint is a
custom color that is polished like glass! It has all new smoked
glass, the front and back windows are flush mounted and the side
vent windows were eliminated. The grille is a 68 and has been given
a brushed finish, the headlights are LED with turn signals
incorporated into them. It has a great stance and is rolling
proudly on a set of 17 inch Torque Thrust wheels wrapped in some
meaty tires, extra wide in the back!
INTERIOR: Magnificent! classic instruments gauges, floor shift,
Ididit tilt steering It was gutted, painted satin gray, lined with
Hushmat sound deadener and given an updated wiring system. It was
then treated to a sporty TMI interior including sport seats with
houndstooth upholstery, a console with cup holders and full size
door panels. Down on the floor is fresh carpet, a Locar shifter
that looks like an old manual shift and Custom pedals. Overhead is
a new headliner, alcantara visors and a custom mirror. In front of
you is a custom dash pad, a great looking set of gauges, custom
climate controls and a tilt column with a 1 off design steering
wheel from CON2R. 3 point retractable seatbelts were installed for
safety and convenience.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: It's one of the cleanest, most uncluttered
engine compartments I've ever seen and at the heart of it is a GM
performance crate 502 making 570 horsepower! It has a thumper cam,
Bowtie aluminum heads and intake with an 850 Holley carb, premium
fuel lines, electric choke, HEI ignition and custom coated headers
that wrap around each side of the frame. It's dressed with a custom
set of diamond blasted 502 valve covers. The front of the engine
has a complete serpentine runner system with a Powermaster one wire
alternator, modern power steering and it has a Classic Auto heat
and a/c system The engine stays cool with an oversized aluminum
radiator, aluminum water pump, overflow bottle and dual electric
fans. The firewall and inner fenders are smoothed out and there's a
custom front filler panel. The billet hinges look and function
great!
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: It is immaculate inside the bed with pristine
metal, extra wide wheel tubs for the wide tires, stainless hardware
and it's painted in a satin finish gray. The fuel filler door was
precisely cut into the wheel well.
UNDERSIDE: Impressive detail and craftsmanship! The custom frame is
boxed and smoothed with added center structure, driveshaft loop and
it is notched in back over the axle. The Fat Man Fabrication Stage
III front suspension has stainless tubular control arms, polished
coilover adjustable gas shocks, rack & pinion steering. In back it
has custom trailing arms, panhard bar and QA1 coilover adjustable
gas shocks. It has a handcrafted fat exhaust system with crossover
pipe, MagnaFlow mufflers, turndown tailpipes and it has been powder
coated black. Completely replaced fuel system with a relocated fuel
tank. Stainless fuel and brake lines. Wilwood brake system with
drilled discs at all 4 wheels. Looking up at the motor it is clean
with GM part # tag still attached and a high torque starter. The
trans is a Gear Star Level 3 4L60 overdrive auto with a 3500 stall,
10 inch converter and dual finned aluminum oil coolers. In back is
a rebuilt rear end with an Eaton posi and 3.42 motive gears. The
metal is smooth as a chalk board and painted a clean satin
black.
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: The quality of this build would impress the best
builders in the country. It is a clean design with meticulous
workmanship down to the smallest detail. Go buy a used truck, give
it to a professional shop with a check for $150,000 and in a year
or two you will be very lucky if it turns out as nice as this one.
Or you can buy this one today and start enjoying it now!
For nearly 30 years, I, Jay Grams, have personally written the
highlights for almost every car in our collection. What I provide
is my professional opinion based on my experience with these
vehicles. 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. **Our cars are displayed
within a museum setting. If you are interested in a specific
vehicle, please schedule an appointment with a salesperson to view
it. Without an appointment, there is an admission fee to enter the
showroom. If you decide to purchase a car, your admission will be
refunded, and you'll receive a one-year museum membership.
