Steve H Posted March 15 Posted March 15 Hi all, So, this is basically a repost of my 41 Chevy pickup but with all new photos. I haven’t figured out editing an old post. To recap, it is 11 scale inches shorter, 4 1/2” in front of the rear wheels, 6 1/2” behind. I swapped out the straight six and added a blown 409 with scratch built intake and side drafts. Parts box wheels and tires, carbon fibre decals used on the rear bumper and for the bed. Stance has been lowered, and aluminum tubing for exhaust tips. The interior has a fabric seat cover. The paint is metallic red with matte clear. Not a new build, so some of you have already seen this. Hope you don’t mind the repost… This truck has quite a few miles on it, which shows. It’s been to California for NNL west, Washington state, more locally Vancouver, as well as a couple of local shows… I’m posting this partly because I will be building another one of these in the coming year. Pretty sure I can do a little better next time… 14 2
ybsluos Posted March 15 Posted March 15 Steve amazing work as always! Love the suede finish and induction setup. -Mark 1
Zippi Posted March 15 Posted March 15 Don't mind a re-post at all Steve, especially when it's a killer build like this of a 41 Chevy pickup Hot Rod. Love the color and that 409 with the side drafts couldn't fit any better. Just a Bodacious buld Steve.

Well, I know you like your fat fendered rides, with blown big blocks, so I figured this would appeal to you. Love your Willy’s build. 10 hours ago, Keef said: Absolutely STUNNING work Steve!!! Your builds never cease to be phenomenal and inspiring! Thank you very much Keith. I always appreciate your kind words. I will be building another 41 Chevy truck as a shop truck, HOPEFULLY, in the fall. If all goes well, it should be an improvement over this one. 8 hours ago, ChrisR said: Looks great.

espo Posted March 16 Posted March 16 Remember this pick-up build. Impressive paint finish and body details. The engine looks great.
BK9300 Posted March 17 Posted March 17 This truck must be a favorite of yours - you always do great work, but the fit and finish on this one seems like you went a tick extra with it. Beautiful truck in a terrific setting!

Thanks David, I will be building another one of these trucks this fall, I love these trucks. It will be similar, but definitely different.

Beautiful truck in a terrific setting! Hi Brian! This is a bit of an older build, maybe 2017ish. As mentioned above, I will be building another one of these later this year, and hope to improve on it. Thanks for the kind words sir.

rrb124@sbcglobal.net Posted April 5 Posted April 5 What a treat to see. This is the first time I've seen it. Wow. Those carbs and stance and photos.

Still like polished paint jobs too though… On 4/10/2025 at 9:16 AM, Gustavo Reis said: Beautiful Chevy pickup. Thank you Gustavo, good to hear from you.
