DESCRIPTION
This is probably one of the best Classic Chevy pickups you could ever find and buy. Originally built by, nd owned for the past 25 years by just one person, he truck was created to be a show truck that could travel absolutely anywhere without issue, nd it has done just that, massing over 34,000 miles criss-crossing the United States to practically every major car event.
First conceived and built by the legendary Joe Roper from 1990-1993, his truck has been constantly and consistently upgraded and maintained to be the stunning show-quality truck you see in the 100 photos below.
It looks like it has only a few thousand miles on it, nd shows nicer than the majority of the fresh builds you will see.
The finish is breathtaking, nd is a PPG Mystic Teal that shows like it was just done from every angle. There are maybe a handful of truly minor little blemishes like a stone chip or tiny scuff on the whole truck, nd you REALLY have to search them out to see them!
This truck shows INCREDIBLY well, nd I started taking photos in the sunshine, ut decided to shoot the rest in the shade so that you see just how clean, traight, irror-like, nd wet looking the paint on the truck is.
Gaps are exceptional, it and finish is exceptional, nd the truck has NO rattles, queaks, ir leaks, r issues. It is like a tank.
All of the weather stripping, ubber seals, nd surrounds are in fantastic condition, nd most were refreshed within the past year.
Chrome and bright work on the truck shows perfectly, nd has no sign of flaking, itting, eeling, r patina. The only trim that shows any sign of use is the antenna mast, nd that is because the prior owner decided to let ONE THING on the truck show the miles that it earned. You could replace it for $8 if you want, ut that would be a dumb idea in my opinion.
Emblems and badging were completely restored just a few years ago, nd still show as new.
The custom “trailer tow” mirrors were custom cut and designed for the truck, nd give it a fantastic look in addition to providing a perfect rear view for towing a travel trailer.
Welting shows like new, nd the stock step plates on the running boards have normal use marks from over the years, ut still look great!
The chrome wheels on the truck are a recent addition and still look like new all the way around. They have a nice, at lip, re wrapped in brand new rubber with less than 300 miles or so on them, nd are perfectly sized for the truck so they do not rub anywhere while driving, arking, r turning.
Custom hand-painted striping around the upper sill of the cab, nd on the tailgate has been done on top of the clear, o it can be removed if you don’t like it.
Running board lights are in perfect condition.
All of the exposed hardware still looks fantastic, ecause they spent over $1,200 at Totally Stainless buying the highest grade and best quality finish hardware you could get! LOOK AT THE PICTURES! The hardware shows nicer than most week old builds!!!!
LED tail lamps are a recent addition, nd they, long with the headlamps, urn signals, ack up light, arking lights, nd hazard lights work perfectly.
THERE IS NO RUST. THERE IS NO ROT. THERE IS NO CHICKEN WIRE OR BEER CAN METAL, R ANYTHING ELSE. This truck is cleaner and straighter than you could ever possibly imagine.
Rear plate mount removes to expose the frame mounted REESE hitch and hidden wiring harness for trailer towing. This truck pulled a 18’ travel trailer with 250 pound hitch weight and 2,800 pound total weight ALL OVER the Country, nd did it with ease. This thing is as reliable as a brand new showroom truck, nd probably more so, ecause you can actually fix it, ot just replace a module.
Bed wood is stunning, nd each board was treated to 20 coats of Thompson’s Weather Seal before installation so that it will look this good forever!
Stainless steel strapping shows like new, s does the hardware for it, nd the bed sides and inner tail gate all look fantastic.
A custom wooden box with padlock has been mounted OVER the original bed wood floor and contains the custom built and designed 41 gallon fuel tank from Transfer Flow, ith a custom tray over that allowing for storage of an emergency kit, pare belts, nd other parts, nd any other items you wish to keep in it. Padlock with two keys is included.
Glass on the truck is in excellent condition, nd shows no cracks, hips, ogging, aminate issues, r anything else.
Back glass has a 15% tint on it, hile the sides have 10%. Tinting is fault free and shows like new.
Windows go up and down with ease on recent window regulators with exceptional looking combs.
The truck has a killer nose-down stance that looks beautiful sitting still, nd really does show nicer in person than in the 100 EXTRA-LARGE photos you will see in the ad. PLEASE come and see it. The first person who does will buy it.
Overall, he outside of this truck is about as nice as can be, nd it is 100% ready to enter a car show and win another trophy RIGHT NOW.
Under the hood, he engine bay presents incredibly well considering this truck is a real-deal driver, nd not some trailer Queen!
Firewall is painted to match and looks fantastic, he motor is dressed with a ton of beautiful chrome and billet goodies that gleam in the sunlight, ou can tell it was owned by someone who, s he said, ldquo;spent about as much time driving it as I did cleaning it”! His routine was to get to wherever the day’s journey took them, reak out the cleaning supplies, nd go over the entire truck while he was waiting for dinner. Not a bad way to go through life if you ask me!
Chrome air cleaner, hrome valve covers, hrome breather caps, hrome overflow tube, hrome alternator, hrome A/C compressor, nd chrome pulleys all still show like new, nd everything else is clean, ainted, r detailed to show extra nice at the car show with the hood open.
Radiator is a stock looking unit that was sent out to have custom internals installed by ADS before being put in the truck. It has a 180 degree thermostat that actuates the oversize electric fan, nd keeps this truck at 180 degrees NO MATTER WHAT. The fan has a manual over ride on the dash, nd can be switched off as well for cooler weather driving. I have driven hundreds of cars down to our little Beach here in Florida, nd the true test of the cooling system is that 3 miles of bumper-to-bumper traffic that takes 45 minutes to cover. This truck NEVER broke 180, ven with the A/C on and in our current 85 degree “Winter Wonderland”. It is as heavy-duty as the rest of the truck, nd made for long haul reliability.
The chassis was blasted, moothed, e-tabbed, nd painted to match the truck, ut since it saw the most road debris, t is not ready for mirrors at the car show! It IS, owever, idiculously clean, nd shows to be solid, ith clean and easy to access hardware, ots of new bushings, earings, oly parts, nd other goodies, nd NO gunked up rust-proofing or any other typical disguising techniques. Just a solid, lean, nd fully functional chassis.
The original rails are matched to a MUSTANG II front suspension with power steering, ropped spindles, nd disc brakes up front, nd Ford 8” rear end with Richmond 3.55 gears and POSI-TRACTION sits out back.
Transmission is a TURBO 400 GM automatic with electric kickdown, nd it was prepped for towing with a Raybestos Pro Series KELVAR band, odified accumulators, ecalibrated valve body and valve plates, eavy duty sprag, nd a TCI Super Pump.
It shifts perfectly in all gears, nd has absolutely zero issues or defects at this time.
Transmission gets connected to a complete engine assembly from RHS Performance Engines in Memphis.
It is a 350CI motor with 307hp, nd was designed from the ground up to be long-haul ready, ow duty ready, nd essentially bulletproof. Job well done.
This truck is unquestionably the BEST running and performing machine I have been in for a while. It starts with a flip of the key, dles cleanly, nd the choke makes it warm and ready to go in a moments notice.
It has a perfect blend of power and performance, nd the truck easily will spin the rear tires off the line, hile maintaining a solid 70mph cruising speed at just under 3,600 RPM.
It kicks down for passing or hill climbs with ease, nd has plenty of oomph on demand for when you need it. I pulled an Aluma motorcycle trailer on the back with a Harley on board, nd it was like nothing was behind me.
The prior owner took the aforementioned travel trailer all around the Country, nd never had a complaint.
This truck really needs to be driven to be appreciated. It is like driving a new pickup, n that it has NO rattles, queaks, oises, ulling, ander, r issues of any kind. It goes down the road perfectly, nd stops without any odd modulation, ander, r issues.
You can fly here and drive this truck home anywhere you can get to by road, nd I won’t worry about you. IT IS AS PROVEN A TRUCK AS ANYTHING I HAVE EVER SEEN IN 18 YEARS OF DOING THIS. IT IS DIALED IN.
You get all the documentation from RHS on the motor build down to the cam specs and run sheets. As a matter of fact, ou get every single receipt, ote, uning spec, lignment specs, nd a complete and total line-by –line run down of everything ever done to the truck because it is all saved in three specific folders that come with it! You have never seen anything quite like it!
Some people have a Ron Francis wiring kit, ell this truck has a Ron Francis kit that was custom designed for the truck by Greg at Ron Francis, ho then provided a HAND DRAWN SCHEMATIC of the layout, nd entire wiring, use, nd installation in a booklet!!!! AMAZING!
Grossman’s was tasked with the brake line routing, nd they did the same thing, o you also have a hand-drawn schematic of the all the brake plumbing, ittings, nd line locations!!!
The 41 Gallon custom tank was installed for long-haul use, nd was custom made for the truck by Transfer Flow. It will get you about 600 miles on a long-haul trip, ith a tracked MPG of 14.6 according to the prior owners hand-written fuel logs.
The truck is stuffed with the best of the best in components and parts from Lokar, lan Grove, cott’s Hot Rods, CI Engineering, ower Drive, nd more. No expense was spared in the build, nd more importantly, o expense was spared in the maintenance and upkeep of the truck.
Pop open the door, nd you see a full custom interior that combines modern materials and upgrades with a classic style.
Aquamarine leatherette meets Teal Duo-Tone cloth on the seats and doors panels, nd they all show like new, ith no seam pulls, ears, r issues. Folding center armrest allows for three across seating in the cab, nd seat belts make sure everyone is safe.
Door pulls and window rollers are NOS style, nd look and work perfectly.
Carpeting is custom cut automotive grade style in Deep Black, ith banded edges. It has been installed over sound and heat proofing material, nd has snaps installed on the out board edges to allow access to the floor of the truck and the battery under the passenger foot well.
Carpet shows perfectly, nd it even has a full firewall trim piece to keep the whole look flowing. The prior owner kept a dustbuste under the seat, ut kept it. I recommend you get one, ecause this interior still shows like new, nd that was his big secret!
Vintage Air was sourced for the recent full A/C, eat, nd defrost installation on the truck. 3 vents grace the under dash area, nd the control panel is unobtrusive and easy to use. Air blows ice cold, nd heat blows incredibly hot. Cooling system is R134A, nd has no known issues.
The dash is stock appearing, nd painted to match the exterior. The shiny center panel and glove box lid look amazing, nd the ashtray opens like it should, hile the glove box opens to reveal the correct lined storage area, ince the A/C components were carefully installed and didn’t steal the room.
A Custom Autosound head unit provides modern audio functionality and digital tuning while retaining a stock appearance and alleviating the need to cut the dash. It sounds amazing though hidden center speakers and a custom speaker enclosure behind the seat.
Gauges have all been redone but retain a stock appearance. The left side includes functional TEMP, IL, UEL, nd BATTERY gauges, hile the right is a calibrated and function speedometer with odometer.
A dash mounted Super Pro tachometer lets you monitor RPM, nd works like it should.
The original wiper switch was left in place, ut the wipers are now electric and have a separate control switch.
Factory switches work like they should, nd under the dash on the left side is the previously mentioned master switch for the electronic fan. It even has a light to let you know it is on.
Headliner is a clean, ike new stock looking unit, ith trim bands, nd two OEM visors that work like they should.
Overall, he interior is about as clean, traight, nd nice as you could ever want, nd is essentially flaw free.
I don’t know what else to really tell you. You’re not dumb, nd I am sure that one look at the photos, nd the understanding that this truck was someone’s baby for twenty-five years and over thirty-four thousand miles of trouble free driving will let you know the caliber of truck we are dealing with here.
I honestly don’t believe that you could ever find a truck that combines the show-ready looks, roven reliability, ong-haul track record, nd almost insane level of maintenance and documentation that this truck brings to the table.
I WILL SAY IT AGAIN:
IF YOU COME HERE AND SEE IT,
YOU WILL BUY IT
It is clean and ready to show right now, nd we have not formally detailed it! This is how nice it has been kept its whole entire life! Imagine how nice it will look when you take the time to get all the nooks and crannies!

You have never seen anything quite like it!
Some people have a Ron Francis wiring kit, ell this truck has a Ron Francis kit that was custom designed for the truck by Greg at Ron Francis, ho then provided a HAND DRAWN SCHEMATIC of the layout, nd entire wiring, use, nd installation in a booklet!!!! AMAZING!
Grossman’s was tasked with the brake line routing, nd they did the same thing, o you also have a hand-drawn schematic of the all the brake plumbing, ittings, nd line locations!!!
The 41 Gallon custom tank was installed for long-haul use, nd was custom made for the truck by Transfer Flow. It will get you about 600 miles on a long-haul trip, ith a tracked MPG of 14.6 according to the prior owners hand-written fuel logs.
The truck is stuffed with the best of the best in components and parts from Lokar, lan Grove, cott’s Hot Rods, CI Engineering, ower Drive, nd more. No expense was spared in the build, nd more importantly, o expense was spared in the maintenance and upkeep of the truck.
Pop open the door, nd you see a full custom interior that combines modern materials and upgrades with a classic style.
Aquamarine leatherette meets Teal Duo-Tone cloth on the seats and doors panels, nd they all show like new, ith no seam pulls, ears, r issues. Folding center armrest allows for three across seating in the cab, nd seat belts make sure everyone is safe.
Door pulls and window rollers are NOS style, nd look and work perfectly.
Carpeting is custom cut automotive grade style in Deep Black, ith banded edges. It has been installed over sound and heat proofing material, nd has snaps installed on the out board edges to allow access to the floor of the truck and the battery under the passenger foot well.
Carpet shows perfectly, nd it even has a full firewall trim piece to keep the whole look flowing. The prior owner kept a dustbuste under the seat, ut kept it. I recommend you get one, ecause this interior still shows like new, nd that was his big secret!
Vintage Air was sourced for the recent full A/C, eat, nd defrost installation on the truck. 3 vents grace the under dash area, nd the control panel is unobtrusive and easy to use. Air blows ice cold, nd heat blows incredibly hot. Cooling system is R134A, nd has no known issues.
The dash is stock appearing, nd painted to match the exterior. The shiny center panel and glove box lid look amazing, nd the ashtray opens like it should, hile the glove box opens to reveal the correct lined storage area, ince the A/C components were carefully installed and didn’t steal the room.
A Custom Autosound head unit provides modern audio functionality and digital tuning while retaining a stock appearance and alleviating the need to cut the dash. It sounds amazing though hidden center speakers and a custom speaker enclosure behind the seat.
Gauges have all been redone but retain a stock appearance. The left side includes functional TEMP, IL, UEL, nd BATTERY gauges, hile the right is a calibrated and function speedometer with odometer.
A dash mounted Super Pro tachometer lets you monitor RPM, nd works like it should.
The original wiper switch was left in place, ut the wipers are now electric and have a separate control switch.
Factory switches work like they should, nd under the dash on the left side is the previously mentioned master switch for the electronic fan. It even has a light to let you know it is on.
Headliner is a clean, ike new stock looking unit, ith trim bands, nd two OEM visors that work like they should.
Overall, he interior is about as clean, traight, nd nice as you could ever want, nd is essentially flaw free.
I don’t know what else to really tell you. You’re not dumb, nd I am sure that one look at the photos, nd the understanding that this truck was someone’s baby for twenty-five years and over thirty-four thousand miles of trouble free driving will let you know the caliber of truck we are dealing with here.
I honestly don’t believe that you could ever find a truck that combines the show-ready looks, roven reliability, ong-haul track record, nd almost insane level of maintenance and documentation that this truck brings to the table.
I WILL SAY IT AGAIN:
IF YOU COME HERE AND SEE IT,
YOU WILL BUY IT
It is clean and ready to show right now, nd we have not formally detailed it! This is how nice it has been kept its whole entire life! Imagine how nice it will look when you take the time to get all the nooks and crannies!
IT HAS A FLORIDA STATE TITLE AS A 1950 CHEVY PICKUP
MILEAGE IS SHOWING AS EXEMPT ON TITLE
