This 1949 Chevrolet 3800 pickup was the subject of a custom build
circa 2003 that involved refinishing the body in metallic silver
with gray flames as well as installing a 383ci stroker V8 linked to
a TH400 three-speed automatic transmission and a 10-bolt rear end.
The bed was modified with a hinged aluminum bed floor panel as well
as a front storage compartment that houses the aluminum fuel tank,
and the engine compartment was customized in 2017 with a smoothed
firewall, a fabricated radiator cover, and a batwing air cleaner
that have been painted to match the exterior. Inside the cab,
replacement seats are trimmed in black Ultraleather with patterned
white cloth accents and accompanied by a center console, a Kenwood
stereo unit, an aftermarket air conditioning system, and AutoMeter
gauges. The chassis has been modified with a Mustang II-style front
suspension setup, rack-and-pinion steering, and four-wheel disc
brakes. Additional equipment includes an Edelbrock intake manifold,
an aluminum radiator, and a dual exhaust system with Hooker
headers. The functional part of the bed measures 4 x 8. 100% Road
ready and fun to drive!
