Description
The body was fabricated starting with a Brookville Roadster cowl panel and a steel floor pan, and the rear bed was fashioned from a 1940s General Electric refrigerator. The truck is finished in Sunset Orange over a camel tan leather interior, and power is provided by a 350ci Chevrolet V8 paired with a 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission and a Winters quick-change rear end. Equipment includes a black removable soft top, a black rear tonneau cover, staggered American Racing Torq Thrust II wheels, Pete and Jakes front and rear suspension, front disc brakes, a Lokar shifter, a Juliano’s banjo-style steering wheel, and Classic Instruments gauges. The body was custom fabricated starting with a 1930-1931 Ford pickup cowl from Brookville Roadster, a steel floor pan, and steel roadster pickup door skins. A 1932 Ford grille and shell is fitted with King Bee headlights, and the rear bed section was reportedly fabricated from a late-1940s General Electric refrigerator. The body is finished in Sunset Orange, and the custom bed tonneau cover and removable soft top are covered in black Haartz cloth. 17×8? front and 20×10? rear American Racing Torq Thrust II alloy wheels are wrapped in BFGoodrich g-Force T/A tires. Equipment includes a Model A front crossmember, a Super Bell drilled front drop axle, Ridetech front shocks, Pete and Jakes Viper Hairpin front radius rods, and Posies chrome front leaf springs mounted behind the axle to allow for lower ride height. The rear suspension features Pete and Jakes ladder bars along with Pete and Jakes Viper coilovers, and braking is handled by Super Bell front discs with polished finned aluminum backing plates along with 11? rear drums with polished covers. The interior is trimmed in camel tan leather with tan square-weave carpets.
