Vehicle Description
If you're in the market for something fun that's guaranteed to hold
its appeal for a very long time, it's hard to go wrong with a lust
worthy truck! America's favorite mode of transportation is finally
commanding the respect it deserves. And with awesome customs like
this award-winning 3100 mixing red carpet looks with everyday
drivability, it's not hard to see why. A perfect blend of timeless
style and proven mechanicals, this supercharged half-ton is a
first-rate exercise in old school charm and vintage swagger. And if
you're looking for a handsome cruiser that can be enjoyed for years
to come, it's the classic of your dreams!
BODYWORK/TRIM
Professionally rehabilitated and customized during a detailed,
body-off restoration, this striking 3100 spent most of its life as
a California ranch truck. In what amounted to a systematic,
high-dollar rebuild, its solid body was completely stripped,
tastefully modified and layered in a sweet combination of green
fleck and silver fleck 2-stage. And in 2005, the truck debuted as a
head turning half-ton that spent the better part of the next decade
being showered in accolades like Best Interior, Best Paint, Best
Engine and Best Pick-Up!
While its basic shape is certainly appealing, first rate detailing
is what makes this Chevy really pop. At the front of the truck, a
polished bumper founds a polished grille between frenched parking
lamps and chrome-trimmed tri-bar headlights. Behind that grille, a
shaved hood leads the eye to smoked glass, which floats between
shaved drip rails, chrome-capped wipers and sleek hot rod mirrors.
Opposite that roof, a shaved profile centers custom flames between
a frenched antenna and low-profile exhaust tips. And at the back of
that profile, a smooth tailgate founds a custom tag pocket and a
Chevrolet-themed Center High Mount Stop Lamp between an Oak bed, a
custom roll pan and slender LED taillights.
ENGINE
Exercise the truck's chrome hood supports and you'll find 350 cubic
inches of Chevrolet small block that, thanks to a rowdy Comp cam
and polished Weiand 142 supercharger, creates an impressive 515
horsepower! At the top of that fully sorted mill, a Weiand Hi-Tek
air cleaner funnels wind in to a coated Holley carburetor, which
seats a small Summit pressure gauge between polished and braided
fuel lines. Beneath the blower, a polished intake perfectly
complements polished and milled valve covers, which hang polished
breathers and trick wingnut ties over lightweight Edelbrock
Performer heads. Behind those breathers, a modern HEI distributor
shoots spark through loomed Taylor Spiro Pro plug wires. At the
front of those looms, bright serpentine components spin a polished
water pump beneath a polished alternator and polished AC
compressor. In front of those ancillaries, a green core support
hugs a beefy Be Cool radiator, which plays well with two corrugated
hoses, a polished expansion tank and two electric puller fans. And,
despite being a thoroughly massaged piece, the mean, green mill
looks right at home in the truck's spotless, silver engine
compartment.
DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION
One peek under this sweet pickup reveals solid bones that were
built to cruise. Behind the 350, a green Turbo-Hydramatic 350
3-speed twists a tough 10-bolt axle. That first-rate drivetrain
pushes a modern 4-link suspension. Tracking is provided by an
independent front-half, which features modern power steering.
Braking is equally class, with a floor mounted booster charging
green calipers and drums. Coated Hedman Hedders dump spent gases in
to 2.5-inch pipes, which breathe through throaty Flowmaster
mufflers. As with the truck's body and engine, detailing is on
point, with a stainless fuel tank and polished oil pan
complementing a polished flywheel shied and polished transmission
pan. And power meets the pavement through chromed Panther Juices,
which twist 225/35ZR18 BF Goodrich g-Force T/As in front of
285/30ZR20 BF Goodrich g-Force T/As.
INTERIOR
Pop this Chevy's electronic doors and you'll find a completely
custom interior that blends hot paint and custom flamework with
custom leather and suede trim. Front and center, a smoothed dash
seats green-lit Dakota Digital telemetry above components for
Southern Air climate control. Opposite that dash, modern bucket
seats stretch tight hides around fluid power adjustment. Between
those seats, a custom console centers a Hurst Pro-Matic shifter
behind modern JVC audio. At the bottom of that console, leather
sills frame lit carpet, which rides under billet foot pedals. At
the edges of that carpet, tailored door panels prop billet handles
in front of fluid power windows. And the driver stays connected to
the road through a fully polished steering wheel that laps a
polished, titling column.
