1938 Custom Chevrolet Truck – Patina Perfection | Fully Custom Build
This 1938 Chevrolet custom truck is the definition of custom through and through—an intricate, no-expense-spared build that blends raw patina attitude with serious performance and craftsmanship. Originally started in 2020, this award-winning truck has been meticulously dialed in and enjoyed on the road for the past six years.
Under the hood, this beast is powered by a 355ci small block paired with an 8-71 blower, delivering aggressive performance and unmistakable presence. It features a .600 roller cam, reworked heads, Edelbrock valve covers, and a high-performance intake, making this build as powerful as it is visually striking. Bringing it all to a stop are Wilwood front disc brakes, paired with rear drums for a classic-meets-modern driving experience.
Built on a fully custom frame, this truck carries a unique twist with a steel body sourced from a 1948 Dodge truck, seamlessly integrated into the design. The exterior showcases a stunning six-step blue wash patina finish, with new fenders that have been expertly aged and customized to match the truck’s overall character.
Inside, no detail has been overlooked. The cabin features bucket seats, a custom center console, and a clean, functional layout with toggle switch controls for ignition, fan, and fuel pump right on the dash. Additional controls for A/C and heat are conveniently located in the center console. Modern comforts include air conditioning, heat, radio, and navigation, blending vintage style with today’s convenience.
The rear bed is equally impressive, housing a custom cooler setup with the battery discreetly mounted underneath, along with rear-mounted fuel components for a clean and functional layout.
This truck is not just a build—it’s a statement. With multiple awards to its name, including Best Interior at the Rats at the Beaver Car Cruise-In, it stands as a true showstopper wherever it goes.
Key Highlights:
Turn the key with confidence—just flip the ignition toggle, tap the gas twice, and it fires right up every time.
This is a one-of-a-kind custom truck that perfectly balances craftsmanship, performance, and unmistakable style.
