1955 CHEVROLET FULL CUSTOM PICKUP

STARTED THE BUILD IN 1995 TO BE THE ULTIMATE 1955 CHEVY PICKUP. EVERYONE WAS BUILDING FORD’S AT THE TIME, THIS WAS TO BE A FULL CUSTOM, 1955 CHEVY CHOPPED TRUCK.

THE TOP HAS BEEN CHOPPED 2 ¾” INCHES, AFTER THE TOP HAD BEEN CHOPPED IT DIDN’T QUITE LOOK PROPORTIONED SO WE RESHAPED THE CROWN OF THE ROOF AND LOWERED IT 2 ½”. AFTER THE TOP AND CROWN WERE CHOPPED THE LENGTH OF THE CAR LOOKED OUT OF PROPORTION SO THE WHEEL BASE WAS SHORTENED 4”. THE BED AREA AND SIDE STEP BETWEEN THE CAB AND FRONT OF REAR FENDER WAS SHORTENED 4” TO ACCOMMODATE THE REDUCTION IN WHEEL BASE. THE INDENTATIONS ON REAR OF CAB HAVE BEEN FILLED WITH STEEL SECTIONS AND SMOOTHED.

REAR FENDERS ARE STOCK, AND A STEEL BED HAS BEEN FABRICATED WITH AN ALUMINUM RECESSED TONNEAU COVER WITH GAS STRUTS. BED HAS BEEN RADIUSED ON TOP AND ANGLED IN REAR TO MATCH THE ANGLE OF THE REAR FENDER. REAR BUMPER AND ROLL PAN ARE CUSTOM AND INCLUDE CUSTOM TAIL LIGHTS AND RECESSED LICENSE PLATE AREA. BUMPER CAN BE PAINTED OR CHROMED.

ANTANNAE HAS BEEN RECESSED. DOORS HAVE CUSTOM PUSH TYPE LATCH THAT IS FLUSH TO DOOR.

FRAME HAS BEEN BOXED. A TUBULAR CROSS MEMBER HAS BEEN FABRICATED WITH A TRANSMISSION MOUNT FOR TURBO 700R TRANS (INCLUDED) AND HOOP FOR DRIVESHAFT (INCLUDED) REAR SUSPENSION IS FOUR LINK TYPE WITH PANHARD BAR. HEIDT’S FRONT INDEPENDENT SUSPENSION IS SETUP FOR COIL OVER SHOCKS. TRUCK HAS LATE MODEL CHEVY TILT STEERING COLUMN COUPLED TO A RACK AND PINION UNIT. REAR END IS A CURRIE 9” FORD WITH BILLET DISC CALIPERS AND SETUP FOR COIL OVER SHOCKS.

FIREWALL IS SMOOTHED, POWER ASSIST BRAKE CYLINDER IS MOUNTED UNDER THE CAB TO MAKE A CLEANER ENGINE COMPARTMENT. TRUCK WAS TO RECEIVE A SMALL BLOCK CHEVY, BUT LATER CHANGED MY MIND TO INSTALL A 392 CHRYSLER. NO MOTOR MOUNTS HAVE BEEN FABBED, SO YOU CAN INSTALL ANY MOTOR YOU WANT. ENGINE COMPARTMENT WILL ACCOMMODATE ANY MOTOR. TURBO 700R TRANS IS INCLUDED AND A MOUNT HAS BEEN FABRICATED ON TUBULAR CROSS MEMBER.

TRUCK HAS VINTAGE AIR, AIR CONDITIONING WITH PUMP AND MOUNTS FOR EITHER SMALL BLOCK CHEVY OR EARLY CHRYSLER HEMI.

TRUCK IS METAL FINISHED WITH LEAD (SEE PICS) COVERED IN HIGH BUILD PRIMER READY FOR FINAL SANDING.

OVER $65,000 INVESTED.
