(Builder Provided Info) Details on the 1952 Chevy 3100 X-CAB:
Four hundred and twenty-five horsepower. Five hundred foot pounds oftorque, est speed of 104 mph, nd best quarter-mile 13.87 seconds. Wecould be talking about a street machine. But actually, e're talkingabout a '52 Chevy pickup. Though it was not designed torace, ut it does bring home trophies. The truck has recievedBest of Show and Best Truck trophiesthat is.
And why not? This truck is really something to look at with its PPGCanary Yellow and House of Kolor Purple Passion Pearl paint catchingyour eye, nd the fine craftsmanship done on the body of this extendedcab truck keeping it there. It makes you think to yourself, Did Chevybuild an extended cab in 1952?" Well, o they didn't.The cab of this truck was cut right behind the door and 23 inches wereadded to make it into an extended cab. Other modifications you'llnotice upon closer inspection are a 3-inch top chop, pancaked hood,and filled seams. It also sports frenched headlights, haved doorhandles, barn door-style tailgate, n ash wood bed, 39 Fordtaillights, nd the custom-made Bow Tie prominently displayed on thetailgate. That is just on the outside, lot more went into this truckthan is immediately apparent.Under the hood the power resides to move all this fine-looking metalalong-a small-block Chevy bored to 406 cubes. Other goodies include aHolley hydraulic cam, 50-cfm carb, olished intake manifold, ndSystem Max cylinder heads. Finishing off the mix are Hooker blockhugger headers, 3-inch exhaust system, nd a pair of Dynomaxstainless mufflers. Transferring the power to the wheels is a Turbo400 equipped with a 2,500-rpm-stall B&M torque converter.Under the truck the frame was boxed, oles welded up, verythingsanded smooth, nd then powdercoated. A 10-bolt Chevy rearend wasadded along with leaf springs from a '52 passenger car. Next cameMustang IFS, CI 2-inch dropped spindles, at Fendered Street Rod Shopsway bars, nd rack-and-pinion steering. Then chose to finishthe chassis off with Cragar wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich rubber.Inside, here it matters most how comfortable of a ride you have, s apair of custom Nissan Stanza seats covered in gray leather. The customdoor panels are covered with gray tweed and the floor is covered ingray carpet. The gauges where replaced with a Cyberdyne digitalinstrument panel, hile the steering wheel was replaced with one fromBillet Specialties. Tunes are supplied by an Alpine stereo system.The builder had some help building this show winning truck. The paint, hichis what first catches your eye, as applied by ACM Auto Body, hegraphics and pinstriping were carefully laid out by Mark LueckDesigns, nd the bodywork (and all the metalwork) was done by RonBatson of Batson Sheetmetal. Colin Rogers gets credit for getting thechassis, ngine, nd transmission all together, aking the stats thatstarted our story out possible. Armando's Upholstery is responsiblefor making the builders ride to the trucks shows (where he wins all thosetrophies) comfortable. And, lthough it only took the builder one year tomold this truck into what it is today, e believe it'll be bringingtrophies home for quite a while.
