This 1953 Chevrolet 3100 pickup was modified under previous ownership by Kustom Built Cars of Grand Junction, Colorado with the installation of a supercharged 6.2L LSA V8, a six-speed automatic transmission, and a narrowed Camaro rear axle with a limited-slip differential. Equipment includes an oak-wood bed, tinted glass, Coys 18″ aluminum wheels, a Mustang II front clip with rack-and-pinion steering and QA1 coilovers, a four-link rear suspension with coilovers, four-wheel disc brakes, an aluminum fuel tank, leather upholstery, Dolphin gauges, power windows, and Vintage Air climate control.
