Lot #1042 - This factory half-ton 4X4 pickup recently received a no-expense-spared, complete frame-off restoration, with over $40,000 and thousands of hours invested in body, paint and metal fabrication (as shown on the invoice included in the sale). It is powered by an upgraded and rebuilt 454ci V8 engine with a Edelbrock E Street package featuring aluminum heads and a Holley EFI kit. The dyno-tested engine produces over 450hp and 528 ft/lbs of torque and is backed by a GearStar Turbo 400 3-speed automatic transmission with a 205-transfer case. The running gear is a big-hub Dana 44 in the front and full float 14-bolt with Detroit locker in the rear. Some upgraded features include GM Performance valve covers, Vintage Air with a front runner pulley system, headers, custom-fabricated exhaust, power steering and disc brakes, new steering box, WARN hubs and all-new suspension. Each body panel was stripped to bare metal, blocked, primed, and finished in the original Hawaiian Blue and white. It was then wet-sanded and buffed to a mirror-like shine. The firewall was smoothed and painted, as were the core support and inner fenders. The chrome, trim, stainless, seals and glass are new. The frame was acid-dipped and painted, and the bottom of the cab was sound-deadened. The new interior features blue houndstooth seats with new foam and seat tracks, headliner, carpet, dash pad, seals, door panels, armrests, tilt steering column, gauges with factory tachometer, and bezels and switches. This custom truck has a 4-inch lift with new springs and rides on new 35-inch BFGoodrich tires on Mickey Thompson wheels. This truck comes with the original Build Sheet, new warranty book with Protect-O-Plate, and Owner’s Manual, and retains the original glove box sticker. **TITLE IN TRANSIT**
