Since the truck would be used for towing purposes, the versatility and ease of modern power steering was a must. The conversion was completed with a Flaming River steering column and components. A powdercoated Belltech sway bar further improves steering response as well as ride quality.
Fesler also installed two other contemporary features that most of today's drivers take for granted: power windows and an air-conditioning system. Electric-Life's power window kit eliminated the need to roll the windows up and down, and Vintage Air provided the performance air-conditioning system with billet controls.
The team spent a significant amount of time reworking the pickup's exterior with the help of a handful of products by Goodmark Industries. The truck was outfitted with a cowl hood, chrome grille, front bumper, door handles, and headlights, all by Goodmark. Keeping the Chevy clean and simple, Fesler and his team also shaved the mirrors, added a Chassis Tech roll pan, and installed a flip-down license plate that conceals a hide-a-hitch. Campus Body Salon of Scottsdale, Arizona, coated the truck with fresh white paint on the lower half of the body and bright blue on the upper half. An orange pinstripe was also added at the seam of the white and blue.
The interior was overhauled to update the tacky blue color scheme and improve the driving experience. 1st Upholstery stepped in to assist with this phase of the build. Choosing to go with a more contemporary blue, the guys reupholstered the seats and door panels with suede, installed a new dash, and painted the headliner. The dash, by Covan's Classic, holds a set of flashy Auto Meter Cobalt gauges.
Additional interior upgrades include a Flaming River steering wheel, Flaming River billet shift knob, and a new Clarion/Orion sound system. The simple but powerful sound system consists of a Clarion source unit installed in the dash, 6.5-inch Clarion speakers, an Orion amp, and a 10-inch Orion subwoofer. The sub is mounted in a custom enclosure tucked behind the seat.
The completed build-now a rock solid, powerful pickup-debuted as scheduled at H&H's open house. Since then, the Chevy has made appearances at Goodguys and SEMA; it is currently touring H&H's dealer network.
