Some custom trucks are built. Others become legends. This 1953
Chevrolet 3100 Five-Window Pickup is exactly that-a rolling piece
of hot rod history and believed to be the last complete build by
legendary House of Kolor Painter of the Year, Wet Willey. Every
inch of this truck reflects the craftsmanship and creativity that
made Willey one of the most respected names in the custom car
world.
The body is drenched in breathtaking House of Kolor Cobalt Blue
Pearl, a color with incredible depth that explodes in the sunlight
and stops people in their tracks. The paint was personally sprayed
by Wet Willey, whose work has earned countless awards and inspired
builders around the world. The body has been tastefully refined
with a smoothed hood, capped bed rails, and a classic Fulton sun
visor that perfectly blends old-school styling with custom
sophistication. Rolling underneath is a set of one-of-a-kind custom
wheels that complete the unmistakable stance of this award-worthy
pickup.
Power comes from a dependable GM 350 Crate Engine, delivering the
reliability of modern Chevrolet performance while preserving the
unmistakable rumble of a traditional small block. Backing the V8 is
a smooth-shifting 4L60 automatic transmission that makes this truck
just as enjoyable on the highway as it is cruising through town.
Power is sent to the pavement through a rugged 10-bolt rear
differential, giving this custom classic the drivability to match
its incredible looks.
Underneath, this Chevy has been upgraded with a RideTech Air Ride
suspension system that dramatically improves ride quality and
handling, while power four-wheel disc brakes provide modern
stopping confidence every time you hit the pedal.
Inside, the craftsmanship continues with an incredible custom
interior that centers around a beautifully integrated 1955
Chevrolet Bel Air dashboard. A pair of luxurious 1965 Buick Riviera
bucket seats and matching center console transform the cab into
something truly unique while maintaining a period-correct custom
feel. A tilt steering wheelprovides added comfort behind the wheel,
while Vintage Air heat and air conditioning ensure this pickup can
be comfortably enjoyed regardless of the season.
Finding a beautifully built '53 Five-Window is difficult. Finding
one that represents the final completed creation of a legendary
custom painter is nearly impossible. This isn't simply a restored
pickup-it's a handcrafted piece of hot rod history that deserves to
be preserved, admired, and driven.
If you're looking for a custom truck that no one else will ever
duplicate, this is your opportunity to own one of the most
significant builds to ever wear the Wet Willey name.
