4182-PHX 1939 GMC PICKUP
Crafted by someone who clearly "took the parts and put 'em together," this 1939 GMC Pickup stands as a masterpiece of automotive imagination. Multi-colored patina adorns the exterior with layers of texture and authentic aging that rat rod aficionados crave. Detailed pinstriping adorns the metal grill and headlight buckets, while custom touches like the sawblade sunvisor, external door hinges, and exhaust stacks punctuate its rebellious character. The .....
chopped and channeled cab sits atop 15" wheels wrapped in 195/65R15 Road Tour rubber up front and wide 295/55R15 Mickey Thompson tires in the rear-a combination that gives this pickup a menacing stance that demands attention.
Brown vinyl and hair-covered bucket seats equipped with five-point harnesses anchor the purposefully unrefined interior. An ammo box cleverly serves as the center console while a grenade functions as the shift knob-just two of many ingenious modifications throughout the cabin. Welded vice grips operate as door latches alongside a worn deep dish steering wheel. Gauges mounted in a repurposed taillight bucket and dummy gauges fixed to the center panel demonstrate mechanical artistry. The sticker-covered headliner adds the final touch to a space that perfectly balances chaotic creativity with functional design.
Marine-sourced Chevy 350 V8 provides the muscle for this rolling collage of automotive parts. Aluminum Edelbrock intake manifold feeds a matching 4-barrel carburetor while rebuilt Dart heads and a mild cam improve breathing capabilities. Long tube headers connect to dual exhaust stacks producing an unmistakable growl. A TH350 3-speed automatic transmission featuring a shift kit transfers power to the Ford 9-inch rear end with authority. Front disc brakes and suspension consisting of an I-beam setup with mono leaf springs and shocks work together with the solid axle rear arrangement to deliver a properly nostalgic driving sensation.
