Vehicle Description
This East-Coast-style traditional hot rod known as "The Real Deal"
was restored like it was back in the 1950s by well-known Nick
Brazell and Hell's Gate Hot Rods. It has won Goodguys Award of
Excellence and Coolest Traditional awards. This was an extensive
nut-and-bolt restoration. The original all-steel cab was chopped 4"
and the original steel bed was shortened 12". It's equipped with a
fiberglass rear tailgate. The custom satin black paint is
remarkable. Some custom exterior features include all-new tinted
glass, 1938 Ford front grille, 1930 Ford spare tire covers for
front fenders, 1951 Kenworth truck headlights, 1941 Plymouth
taillights and Studebaker wheels with Coker whitewall tires. Extra
rear slick tires are also included. The interior was wrapped in
Dynamat insulation. The custom red leather with black piping
interior is beautiful. Some custom interior features include a dome
light, switches, Dolphin instruments, knobs, pushbutton start,
hot-rod steering column, removable splined steering wheel, Lokar
shifter, pedals, hidden storage compartment and custom sound
system. The highly detailed engine compartment is home to the
rebuilt famous Buick 401ci Nailhead V8 engine. With many upgrades,
engine was dressed to match the color theme. The engine runs great
and is cooled by a custom-built radiator. It sounds amazing out the
ceramic headers featuring cut-outs and side exhaust system. The
engine is coupled to a GM Turbo 400 automatic transmission and new
Currie Ford 9" posi-traction rear end with 3.50 gears. The
undercarriage is also highly detailed with many upgrades. It has an
SAC custom chassis painted high-gloss black. The front suspension
has a hairpin radius rods setup, and a 4" drop and drilled Magnum
front beam axle with shocks. The rear suspension has a red
triangulated radius rods setup and Aladdin aluminum adjustable
coilover shocks. The braking consists of a power brake booster and
master cylinder, which is mounted underneath. This truck has
recently been completely serviced and detailed, which is fully
documented with invoice. From the MS Classic Cars Collection.
