Vehicle Description
1948 Austin Pro Street Pickup. Finished in beautiful PPG Jet Black
paint with custom flames accented by a clean Black interior. This
truck features a steel Austin of England A40 Pickup truck cab with
a shaved drip rail and narrowed Ford step side bed sitting on a
custom Willy's Unlimited Chassis. It is powered by a massive 468CI
Big Block Chevy V8 engine with LS7 ported and polished heads, 575
lift Comp Cam, Weiand tunnel ram intake manifold dressed with twin
Edelbrock 650CFM 4 barrel carburetors. All of the shifting is done
by a TH 400 automatic transmission with a TCI 3400rpm stall
converter, B&M shift kit, TCI trans cooler, and a Genie
shifter. The power is put to the ground thanks to a narrowed Ford
9in rear with 4 link setup and 4.10 positraction gears. Other
features include rack and pinion steering, front disc brakes, line
lock kit, power windows, BMW seats, Auto meter gauges and Cragar
Drag star wheels wrapped in Mickey Thompson Sportsman tires. It
took many years to bring this truck to the condition you see it in
today and we have a book of pictures as well as receipts
documenting the build. This is an opportunity to own a great truck
at a fraction of the build cost.Please call Velvet Hammer Motorcars

may have as well as shoot additional photos or videos upon request.
