(Builder Provided Info) Details on the 1952 Chevy 3100 X-CAB: Four hundred and twenty-five horsepower. Five hundred foot pounds of torque, est speed of 104 mph, nd best quarter-mile 13.87 seconds. We could be talking about a street machine. But actually, e're talking about a '52 Chevy pickup. Though it was not designed to race, ut it does bring home trophies. The truck has recievedBest of Show and Best Truck trophiesthat is. And why not? This truck is really something to look at with its PPG Canary Yellow and House of Kolor Purple Passion Pearl paint catching your eye, nd the fine craftsmanship done on the body of this extended cab truck keeping it there. It makes you think to yourself, Did Chevy build an extended cab in 1952?" Well, o they didn't. The cab of this truck was cut right behind the door and 23 inches were added to make it into an extended cab. Other modifications you'll notice upon closer inspection are a 3-inch top chop, pancaked hood, and filled seams. It also sports frenched headlights, haved door handles, barn door-style tailgate, n ash wood bed, 39 Ford taillights, nd the custom-made Bow Tie prominently displayed on the tailgate. That is just on the outside, lot more went into this truck than is immediately apparent. Under the hood the power resides to move all this fine-looking metal along-a small-block Chevy bored to 406 cubes. Other goodies include a Holley hydraulic cam, 50-cfm carb, olished intake manifold, nd System Max cylinder heads. Finishing off the mix are Hooker block hugger headers, 3-inch exhaust system, nd a pair of Dynomax stainless mufflers. Transferring the power to the wheels is a Turbo 400 equipped with a 2,500-rpm-stall B&M torque converter. Under the truck the frame was boxed, oles welded up, verything sanded smooth, nd then powdercoated. A 10-bolt Chevy rearend was added along with leaf springs from a '52 passenger car. Next came Mustang IFS, CI 2-inch dropped spindles, at Fendered Street Rod Shop sway bars, nd rack-and-pinion steering. Then chose to finish the chassis off with Cragar wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich rubber. Inside, here it matters most how comfortable of a ride you have, s a pair of custom Nissan Stanza seats covered in gray leather. The custom door panels are covered with gray tweed and the floor is covered in gray carpet. The gauges where replaced with a Cyberdyne digital instrument panel, hile the steering wheel was replaced with one from Billet Specialties. Tunes are supplied by an Alpine stereo system. The builder had some help building this show winning truck. The paint, hich is what first catches your eye, as applied by ACM Auto Body, he graphics and pinstriping were carefully laid out by Mark Lueck Designs, nd the bodywork (and all the metalwork) was done by Ron Batson of Batson Sheetmetal. Colin Rogers gets credit for getting the chassis, ngine, nd transmission all together, aking the stats that started our story out possible. Armando's Upholstery is responsible for making the builders ride to the trucks shows (where he wins all those trophies) comfortable. And, lthough it only took the builder one year to mold this truck into what it is today, e believe it'll be bringing trophies home for quite a while. F A C T S & F I G U R E S The car was built in San Diego, alifornia. I am the second owner. The '52 was featured in 3 truck magazines. A copy of the magazines will come with the truck. 1952, {{Chevrolet}}}, -Cab CHASSIS Frame / Manufacturer stock / Chevy Modifications boxed, anded, ll holes welded, and powdercoated, y Colin Rogers Rearend / Ratio 10-bolt Chevy / 2:73 Rear suspension leaf springs from a '52 passenger car, at Fendered Street Rod Shop sway bar Rear brakes drum Front suspension {{{Mustang}}} II OEM front suspension clip and shocks, CI - Note: I had the shocks replaced with new shocks all around 2"dropped spindles, FSRC - Note I had the Truck raised back up to normal heigth (2" drop was to low for Florida gutters) sway bar Front brakes disc Master cylinder TCI Steering rack-and-pinion, ustang II OEM steering column Front wheel make, ize Cragar, 5x7 Rear wheel make, izeCragar. 15x8 Front tire make, ize BFGoodrich. 215/60ZR15 Rear tire make, ize BFGoodrich. 285/70ZR15 Gas tank custom 21 gal. by Ron Batson Other chassis items custom aluminum wheel tubs, Ron Batson ENGINE Year and make'76 Chevy 400 Machine workCR Speed, an Diego Displacement 406 ci Camshaft Holley Cooling fan electric Heads Holley aluminum System Max Valve covers Holley Manifold / Induction Holley / Holley 750 cfm Ignition / Wires HEI / {{{Crossfire}}} Electric Headers Hooker, lock huggers, et Hot coated Exhaust / Mufflers 3"/ stainless Dyno Max TRANSMISSION Year and make Turbo 400 automatic BuilderGreg Hunter, an Diego, A Converter B&{{{M}}}, tall speed 2,500 Shifter KIA BODY Body style / Material '52 Chevy / steel Body mods smoothed firewall, V" butted windshield, "chopped top, shaved door handles, 3" extended cab, op-out side windows, arn door tailgate, custom built tubes and roll pan.
