1949 Chevrolet 5-Window Pickup (Custom Chassis / LS / Air Ride /
Vintage Air)
If you're after the look of a true old-school 5-window with the
manners of a modern driver, this is it. Classic lines, killer
stance, and a fresh LS/overdrive combo backed by air ride and cold
A/C. Finished in a slick blue with a custom patina-style treatment,
sitting low over wide whitewalls, and wrapped up with a fully
updated interior that still fits the truck's vintage vibe.

Exterior
This truck nails the "finished but not over-restored" look. The
blue paint is complemented by a deep, custom patina-style accent
treatment that gives it a tough, period-correct attitude without
looking rough or unfinished. The truck sits low and level with a
clean, simple presentation and great proportions-exactly how a
properly built street truck should.

Clean 5-window cab profile
Classic brightwork and vintage-style trim
White front/rear bumpers for a crisp contrast
Wheels & Stance
The stance is the first thing you notice-low, aggressive, and
adjustable thanks to air ride. The wheel/tire combo keeps the
classic theme intact and looks perfect under the rounded
fenders.

Painted steel wheels with bright trim
Wide whitewall tires
Viair air ride system for adjustable ride height and the right
"parked" look
Interior
Inside, it's full custom and driver-focused-clean, comfortable, and
built to be used. The tan upholstery works perfectly with the body
color, and the updated controls and gauges make it feel modern
behind the wheel while still fitting the truck.

Full custom interior with door panels + headliner
Custom seating in tan upholstery
Center console with cupholders and clean shifter integration

Engine & Drivetrain

turn-key performance. The engine bay presents clean and purposeful
with modern components and a simple layout.
Powertrain specs:
5.3L LS V8
4L60E automatic transmission

Steering, Suspension & Brakes
This build isn't just about looks-the chassis and suspension work
give it a modern feel and the adjustability to match. Air ride at
all four corners lets you cruise comfortably, then drop it down for
shows or parking.
The Drive
This is the kind of truck you can actually use. It starts easy,
cruises comfortably with overdrive, and stays enjoyable in real
weather thanks to Vintage Air. The stance and style get all the
attention, but the real win is how livable the build is.
