flair, create a unique blend that stands out in any crowd.
Step inside to find an interior that's as functional as it is stylish. The two-tone gray fabric bench seat and matching door panels provide a comfortable ride, while the B&M floor shifter and custom wood center console with cupholders add a touch of practicality. The interior metal surfaces, painted to match the exterior, include a mural on the glove box, showcasing the truck's unique character. An aftermarket Jensen head unit with a CD player ensures your favorite tunes are just a button away, making every drive a pleasure.
Powering this beauty is a Chevy 350 small block V8, featuring an aluminum intake manifold, Edelbrock carburetor, and valve covers. The engine bay, detailed with sheet metal finishing, houses a chrome alternator and aluminum radiator with an electric fan, ensuring efficient cooling. Paired with a TH350 automatic transmission and a Ford 9" rear end, this truck offers a driving experience that's both reliable and powerful. The front end, swapped to a 70s Plymouth independent setup, maintains the original solid axle and springs in the rear. Dual exhausts with Supertrapp mufflers add a satisfying growl to its performance.
