With its intricate front grille, sweeping front fenders, and full assortment of chrome, this 1946 Chevrolet Pickup Restomod rolled off the assembly line with plenty of style already intact. But add to that the tasteful modifications it has since received, in the form of a rich burgundy exterior, aggressive lowered stance, and attention-grabbing aftermarket wheels, and you have a ride that's downright stare-inducing. Its all-steel body has come through the decades in great shape, looking well-aligned and very solid, and with its stout short bed configuration, clean window glass, and clear lights and lenses, it gives off a very vital first impression. Even better, its modern drivetrain combines with some well-chosen mechanical upgrades, equipping this vintage truck to provide a great experience behind the wheel.
The accompanying two-tone vinyl interior can't help but impress. Showing only the slightest of wear, it's a driving environment you'll look forward to immersing yourself in. There's a lot to like inside these doors, including the comfortable bench seat, intricately textured door panels with billet door handles, and a dash area that's been painted to match the exterior. The aftermarket steering wheel blends nicely with the rest of the interior on its tilting column, and the instrument cluster just beyond it hosts an assortment of white-faced Dolphin gauges to keep tabs on vital motoring functions. A Sony AM/FM stereo with an auxiliary port and Bluetooth connectivity has been added to provide plenty of audio options, and a closer inspection will show just how seamlessly the vents for the Vintage Air climate control system, as well as an added power port, have been installed.
Beneath the signature gullwing hood lies an engine bay that really presents nicely. Front and center in the compartment is a fuel-injected 5.3L LM7 engine, surrounded by fresh-looking hoses and belts. The engine pairs with a 4-speed automatic 4L60E transmission with an overdrive gear, so this classic Chevy is particularly well-suited to highway driving. An aluminum radiator teams with a sizable electric fan to keep temperatures under control during more demanding driving conditions. Modern power steering makes navigation easy, while power brakes that feature discs up front provide the stopping ability you'd want for frequent driving.
