Selling to finance my next build. This build started as an engine swap but turned into a frame off build. This truck is built from the ground up and gets attention. This build has been featured in Classic Trucks magazine September 2019 issue. The parts list and work completed on this truck is extensive. I will try my best to summarize the parts and work completed.
Body - 1967 truck with small back glass. All the sheet metal was sandblasted bare for a fresh start. All metal work was done right and is high quality work. The truck needed outer rockers, cab corners, lower B pillar on left side, and a small floor panel patch. The firewall, mirrors, and body trim were shaved.- The factory hood was changed out for a Goodmark cowl version with billet hinges.
- The front bumper is a custom smooth bumper from St. Louis bumpers. The rear bumper is stock.
- The rear tail light lenses are from Marquez Designs.
- One piece windows were added to clean up the look of the doors.
- The bed is all new steel.
There were several rounds of priming and blocking to get the truck extremely straight prior to paint. The paint is a custom mix blue from Sikkens. The under side of cab is sprayed with blue tinted bed liner. The underside of bed is painted the same blue as the exterior. The entire truck was cut and buffed after assembly.
Interior - The interior is painted with a 2 stage gray with matte clear.- The gauge panel is custom and includes Speed Hut gauges.
- The custom center console includes a B&M shifter and conceals the wiring (Painless/Speartech) and the ECM/TCM.
- The power seats were taken from a Grand Cherokee and 3 point seatbelts were added.
- The stereo is Pioneer. There are Polk Audio speakers in the Fesler kick panels and Polk 6x9's behind the seats.
- The entire floorboard and rear of cab are covered with Dyna-Mat. The firewall has both Dyna Mat and Dyna liner installed.
- A Vintage Air SureFit kit is completely installed and wired but has not been charged yet.
Engine - The engine (4.8/5.3) and transmission (4L60) came out of a 2008 Silverado. The engine and transmission have less than 32K miles on them. The engine is smooth and the transmission shifts as it should.- The engine was installed using CPP tubular mounts. It has K&N Intake.
- Doug Thorley headers send exhaust through custom pipes with Magna Flow mufflers. The exhaust is loud but sounds good.
- Fuel is delivered from a Boyd Welding tank under the bed. The fuel lines are braided and run through a corvette filter located on the frame rail.
- Cooling is courtesy of an aluminum radiator with dual electric fans.
- Added a Sanden AC compressor with Dirty Dingo bracket after the magazine shoot.
Chassis - The factory SWB frame was sandblasted and painted chassis black. All steering and suspension components are new.- The upper and lower control arms are POL tubular versions. CPP spindles and springs set the stance. The rear suspension utilizes factory trailing arms with CPP coils.
- Wilwood disc brakes on all 4 corners handle the stopping quite well.
- The wheels are 18 inch Boss 338's with Nitto 555 tires.
- Also included in the sale but not installed are a CPP Front sway bar with brackets and a CPP bolt in rear c notch.
There are a few things that I want potential bidders to know. First off, this truck is low. I would compare its clearance to a corvette. Second, there is a small blemish in the paint on the passenger fender (see pics). The last concern is the gas gauge reads "Full" all of the time. These are small issues but I felt they were worth noting. Please ask any and all questions before bidding. The truck will not leave until funds have cleared and are in my account. I do have a clean TN title in hand. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. Thanks for looking.
