1948 Chevrolet 3100 Thiftmaster ½ ton Pickup
I wanted a vehicle for real world use and for modern roads. A daily driver was planned using as many GM component parts as possible. A GM ‘88 G body IFS front clip and a GM ’97 Buick Roadmaster rear-end clip were added to the chassis and completely boxed. The drive train is a ‘97 Z28 EFI LT1 engine and 4L60E transmission with 97 Buick Roadmaster 3.42 posi gears. The trucks sheet metal and interior were kept original as possible. The truck rides, handles like a new truck, and it can really haul the mail.
