Vehicle Description
This 1955 Chevrolet 3100 is what you get when you combine a big
budget with a passion to create an unforgettable custom pickup.
With award-worthy flame job paint, custom interior, updated
suspension, and big block power, this is the kind of package that
will keep you bragging for years to come.
Take a moment to understand what kind of effort goes into looking
this stunning. The high gloss black custom paint has so much
clearcoat that you get those softly rounded curves - a true sign of
time and money well spent. Plus, those awesome flames start behind
the front fenders and add flair to the profile all the way down
past the rear wheels. This level of detail is amazing on any
vehicle, but it's a miracle to be able to so this with a pickup
that probably spent decades as a workman. But beyond just an
investment in paint and body, the chrome of the toothy grille,
bumpers, and light surrounds all have been restored to shine like
mirrors. In back the brightwork is more subtle as it surrounds the
C2 Corvette-style taillights and the dual exhaust tips - it doesn't
want to distract from the cool custom stamped bow tie tailgate or
real wood truck bed.
Open the door for a very cool surprise. The bright orange of the
exterior flames is also the accent color for this custom leather
interior. It even wraps around the custom door panels and onto the
dash for a very modern enveloping feeling. The high back leather
buckets are vastly more comfortable than anything that come out of
the 1950s, and they are power adjustable so you can effortlessly
find that perfect position. In-between those is a center console
that houses the controls for the power windows and the modern R134a
air conditioning. Plus, there's an Eclipse stereo with AM/FM/CD/DVD
and even satellite navigation. While all of this is just as
enjoyable for the passenger as the driver, this pickup really does
keep its best feature just for you. The Billet Specialties steering
wheel is mounted on a chrome tilt column. And beyond that is a set
of Classic Instruments gauges in the original speedometer housing.
This setup even includes a tach, which is a clear indication that
there is something special in the engine bay even before you hear
the sweet rumble of the dual exhaust.
You're going to love lifting the hood at car shows because this big
block is an award-worthy presentation. There was a lot of time and
money invested in creating a coordinated package where the cross
member, aluminum radiator, and Holley carb cover are all given the
same cool flames that run along side this pickup. Even the shining
valve covers have flames etched into them. With all those polished
components, well trimmed wires & hoses, and mirror smooth firewall,
you know people will be spending a lot of time staring at your
engine bay. But this was built for more than just showing off. The
ZZ502 crate V8 already is a beast rated at 500+ horsepower before
you include the Sanderson headers that add to both the sound and
the fury that this machine produces. And this Chevy was specially
built to handle all of its power. There's 700R4 four-speed
automatic w/overdrive utilizing a Bowler shift kit. It sends the
power to a limited-slip Ford nine-inch rear end with a stout Moser
axle. This is running versatile 3.73 gears that are good for both
power takeoffs and overdrive cruising. Up front there's a Mustang
II-style independent front suspension with tubular A-arms, and in
the rear is a multi-link axle with coilovers (all fully
adjustable.) Control is well in-hand thanks to power steering, a
drilled & slotted four-wheel disc brake package, and ZR rated tires
on those Billet Specialties 17-inch wheels.
Yes this Chevy pickup is truly a special machine, and it only has
6,286 miles on it since built. It even comes with a custom bra and
cover so you can drive wherever and still keep it looking properly
polished on arrival. So the question is do you want to steal the
show with this all-around custom build or do you want to lose to
it? Call today!!!
