INTRODUCTION: Stunning looks! Only 1,100 miles on a frame off
custom build. This truck has two binders with all the detailed
specs and information from paint formula and wiring schematic to
what brake pads and spark plugs it uses.
EXTERIOR: The color, stance and wheels gets this truck noticed. All
metal body and fenders. It is straight, I did not find any damage
or rust in my inspection. It looks like it was dipped in red nail
polish with a smooth glossy bright red finish. The vent windows
were removed for a cleaner look. All the glass and gaskets were
replaced. Newport Speed electric wiper system. It has deluxe chrome
trim around the door windows. The emblems, handles, mirrors and
rear bumper look new. It has Chevrolet step plates on the running
boards. LED tailights in back. It is lowered and sitting on a big
set of chrome Coys wheels wrapped in performance tires.

a 20 circuit Summit Racing fuse box. It also has a 1936 Chevy cabin
heater with defrost. The door panels and headliner were replaced.

shifter and chrome e-brake handle on the floor. Behind the tilt
wheel is a set of white face gauges.

reliable GM crate 350 motor making 290 horsepower. On top is an
Edelbrock Performer intake and Edelbrock carb with electric choke.
It runs cool with an aluminum radiator and electric fan. The engine
bay is painted really nice. It features power brakes and chrome
alternator. Very tidy installation.

lowered suspension. It has refinished black boards, metal strips,
and chrome hardware. The fuel filler is relocated to the floor. The

replaced the temp sending unit, replaced the door lock cylinders
and lubed the driver's door latch.

attention as trucks costing twice as much. Comfortable, simple
driver ready to enjoy.
