The car was stripped and dents were repaired before a replacement front fender and floor pans were installed and the body was repainted in Dodge F8 Green. The cab trim was reportedly polished, and replacement headlights and chrome bumpers were fitted along with a Detroit Speed Selecta-Speed windshield wiper kit, refinished signal housings, a black spray-in bedliner, replacement front and rear glass, and a reproduction grille, taillight lenses, and stainless bed trim.
Vintage Wheel Works 17″ wheels are mounted with 245/45 front and 275/35 rear Nitto NT555G2 tires. Stopping power is provided by a CPP disc brake conversion with red-finished calipers squeezing 13″ front and 11″ rear rotors as well as a Wilwood master cylinder with a proportioning valve. The suspension was modified using a CPP pro-touring kit including a quick-ratio steering box, front and rear control arms, sway bars, coilovers, rear lowering springs, and drop spindles in addition to Ridetech billet tie-rod adjusters and replacement body mounts.
Adjustable Recaro bucket seats are trimmed in black upholstery and accompany a replacement dash, headliner, carpets, and door panels. The inside of the cab was lined with Dynamat sound-deadening insulation and fitted with an American Autowire Highway 22 wiring harness, a Lokar throttle pedal, and an overdrive control unit mounted to the left of the steering column. The radio opening was filled with a weld-in panel and no radio is installed.
A three-spoke steering wheel frames a horizontal-sweep 120-mph speedometer flanked by auxiliary gauges displaying fuel level, amperage, coolant temperature, and oil pressure. A Holley Sniper digital controller is mounted below the dash. The five-digit odometer shows 66k miles, approximately 350 of which were added after the refurbishment. True mileage is unknown.
The engine bay features a smoothed firewall, and the replacement 454ci V8 was reportedly .040″ overbored and fitted with the following components:
The seller notes that the oil was changed approximately 300 miles ago.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a TH400 three-speed automatic transmission, a Gear Vendors overdrive unit, and 12-bolt rear axle that was reportedly rebuilt and fitted with a Detroit Tru-Track differential and a 3.73:1 gear ratio. The transmission is said to have received a 2,500-rpm stall torque converter and a Lokar electric kick-down in addition to a replacement flex plate and transmission cooler. The chassis was stripped and coated with POR-15 chassis coat, and a fabricated 2.5” to 3” exhaust with Magnaflow 18” mufflers was fitted.
