1938 Chevy Truck - Taking Stock

Smoothie Fabrication of Iron Station, NC, provided the Chevy's running boards. Thanks to a Jim Meyer Racing Products chassis enhanced with Air Ride Technologies airbags at each wheel, TQ Truck achieves a pavement-prowling stance.

A Grant Products prototype billet two-piece steering wheel perches atop an ididit steering column with a column shift. The Lokar Performance Products stop and go pedals perform perfectly and give 110 percent in the looks department.

Zoops Products valve covers, pulleys, and brackets enhance the 350hp, 400 lb-ft torque of the GM Ramjet 350 EFI. Bassani headers and custom exhaust tubes were installed for expelling spent gases.

All Haneline Products items, a 3 3/8-inch speedo, a 2 1/8-inch coolant temp gauge, and the oil, ampere, and fuel gauges fill the dashboard.

Hagen hidden door hinges were used for hanging the tastefully trimmed doors.

The license plate says it all. To the delight of many, Stockton Wheel Service was established in 1883. TQ Truck, however, was re-established in 2004.

In addition to the custom Stepside bed, Hank's Custom Stepside Beds supplied the complete oak hardwood and stainless steel stringer bed floor kit.

Do you recognize the taillights? They're '50 Pontiac items from Bob Drake Reproductions.

We know there's no surprise that TQ Truck's undercarriage is this nice. The headers, mufflers, pipes, and tips all came from Bassani Xhaust in Anaheim, CA.

Distributed by none other than Stockton Wheel Service, and known as Conceptz XXI, Type TQ (sound familiar?), the beautiful billet wheels are shod with BFGoodrich Radial T/A rubber. The front tires are P225/50R16s as shown, while the rears wear P295/50R16s.
