Chevy 3100 custom pickup. Perhaps there has never been another truck with so many modifications. This custom one off chevy 3100 has been handcrafted from bumper to bumper, including the bumpers. Nothing on this vehicle remains as it was. Two haulers, a 1948 and a 1951 were cannibalized to make this dream truck, but all that remains of those pickups are the reminiscent, nostalgic shape of these popular trucks. To the untrained eye, this pickup simply looks amazing. To the knowledgeable custom vehicle builder, the number of subtle modifications of this hand built beauty seem endless. The truck has been so skillfully shaped in its construction, the stretched cab and gently chopped top, the aesthetically reshaped hood, widened fenders, flowing curves of the bed and drastically transformed body hugging bumpers seem strangely like they were originally made that way. In all, every inch of this pickup has been innovatively created, carefully designed, masterfully constructed, and magically assembled to be one of the very best of its kind in the world. It was on display at the sema show in las vegas, both as an unfinished project and in its completed form last year. It brings jaw dropping responses and huge smiles from those who witness the wonder of this show truck up close. It is the perfect blend of artisan craft and engineering excellence. All of the state-of-the-art components that make up the drive train, chassis, suspension, and interior appointments of this chevy pickup are of the utmost quality, unmatched by 99 percent of the other trucks of its kind in the world. The stained white oak bed inside the handcrafted cargo box is finished like a grand piano, and the custom tailgate between the vertical cadillac taillights fits like a custom made suit. Throughout the build stage, this truck was a coveted stage for many aftermarket parts vendors to display their finest products, so the hauler has only the best of components throughout. Mercedes headlights, cadillac taillights, and a unique center dual exhaust port catch the eye of the beholder. The truck rides on toyo radial tires on foose legend rims. The power plant is a performance cammed corvette ls3 v8 generating over 500 horsepower that turns a gm 4l70e automatic overdrive transmission. It is cooled by a big aluminum radiator made by howe racing with dual spal electric fans. In the cab, a lokar shifter, modified by the builder, takes care of the gear selection. Vintage air gen5 air conditioning and heating keeps the environment comfortable, and a theater quality kicker audio system, and prodigious application of dynamat insulation make riding in this chevy more like cruising in a rolls royce. This labor of love was completed in 2016, so this ride is as fresh as new snow. To duplicate the pickup, a professional rod shop would charge more than $250,000. Air Conditioning
