Only 260 miles on a body off frame custom build! It has some really impressive features like an LSX motor, 6L80E overdrive transmission, and a dually rear end! Not to mention a list of other great features. The dually is really what makes it stand apart. I haven't seen one, have you?
EXTERIOR: This is an all steel body, big back window bad boy! The paint has some very tasteful metal flake in it that is laid out perfectly and glistens like a diamond in the sun. All the panels are nicely .....
aligned, and the doors close like a new truck. The rear tailgate is latched traditionally with a hook and chain. It has a custom laser cut panel on the back that says "1955 concept dually" All the emblems have been removed and filled to give a very sleek look. The door handles were removed, and poppers were installed that now opens by remote and there is a hidden button on the body as well. The fuel filler and gas tank were relocated. All the glass has been replaced with new seals and fuzzy strips too. The side and back windows are real smoked glass, not stick on tints. Both the bumpers have been blacked out and compliment the wheels very nicely. We just had the rims painted black then added spiked studs all the way around for that extra tough appearance. The wheels are wrapped in LT265/75R16 Firestone TransForce AT tires. It has halogen headlights and custom LED taillights. It even has a hitch receiver, ready to go to work for you.
INTERIOR: What a great looking interior loaded with technology and amenities! Everything is brand new from top to bottom and looks spectacular. It now has a touch screen display where the radio would be. It has many features including hands-free calling, Bluetooth music, a backup camera plus more. It also has a very nice analog/digital gauge cluster that lights up bright blue. Transmission temperature and fuel pressure gauges have been added to the dash as well. It has a trailer brake controller and Vintage Air climate controls. It has an Ididit tilt steering column and steering wheel as well. The door panels are custom, and controls were added for the power windows. The headliner, visors, rearview mirror, and carpeting have all been replaced. It has a modern gas pedal and a modern shifter for the 6L80E transmission too. They are both neatly tucked into the center console that also has cell phone holders/wireless phone chargers, cup holders, USB charging ports and more. That is nestled in between two modern bucket seats that have headrests and many adjustments. They're complete with modern style shoulder seat belts.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Super clean and show ready! GM crate LSX 376 is putting out 450 hp. The LSX is a heavy-duty block designed to handle extra power. Said to have a 9:1 compression ratio and is built to handle a supercharger if that's the route you want to go. It has modern fuel injection system with pressure gauge and coated headers too. The front of the motor is decked out with polished components, and it has a serpentine belt system also. It has a new Vintage Air heat and a/c system. It also features a modern power steering and power brakes with a polished master cylinder. A giant Retro Rad radiator with dual electric fans and hard hoses keeps it cool. A custom-made air intake tube leads into the fender well. The fender wells are painted gloss black and have stainless bolts. It has very fancy billet hinges with struts that help you easily lift and close the big heavy hood. The hinges are manufactured by Eddie Motorsports. The firewall is a smooth mirror and gives the illusion the truck has 2 engines! There are LED lights on each fender wells that illuminate the engine bay nicely for shows. The switch is located under the dashboard.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The bed was widened and has enlarged wheel wells also. It's painted the same color as the truck with stainless bolts. The floor is a durable diamond plate that provides a custom look. It cleverly has 12 volt and usb receptacles for your tailgating adventures. It also has 12 volt jumper leads in the same location.
UNDERSIDE: This truck was body off frame restored and the underside looks spotless! Upfront is a fresh aluminum cross member with rack & pinion steering and coil over shocks too. In the back are new leaf springs, bushings, and Ridetech adjustable air shocks. It has power disc brakes all the way around with new looking components. Also equipped with a custom fat stainless exhaust with 4 small Flowmaster polished stainless mufflers. The gas tank has been relocated under the bed and is brand new with new lines as well. Looking up at the LSX 376 cubic inch engine it has a Holley oil pan and a high torque starter. That is paired with a new crate 6L80E automatic overdrive transmission that is dressed in a B&M finned high volume pan. Also equipped with a custom driveshaft that transfers the power to a heavy duty Dana 80 dually rear end. It has dual batteries in custom enclosures that are neatly tucked under the cab. The frame has been fully prepped and painted plus the floors are nearly painted black.
SERVICE: We went through the truck and tightened some fuel fittings and tightened various suspension parts. We had the wheels painted gloss black, added spiked lug nuts, new center caps, and balanced the tires. We also replaced batteries in the remote key fobs.
CONCLUSION: It's a one of a kind! There's lots of cool trucks out there, this one will stand out from all of them. This is a super cool custom build with only 260 miles since completion. You get the turnkey reliability of a powerhouse LSX modern fuel injected engine and are able to cruise with ease because of the modern automatic overdrive transmission. This truck started off just as a sweet idea and was executed with great detail guaranteeing tons of fun for the future owner!
I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video that explains the car's condition in detail. **These cars are displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car, make an appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car, your admission will be refunded, and you will be given a 1 year membership.
