This 1958 Chevy 3100 pickup is what you get with a little talent some creativity and access to a parts bin full of OEM components. The result is a trick truck that will have people guessing but the whole thing is so nicely finished that you really can't tell where the lines are drawn. Buy it for how it looks but you'll also enjoy the story it has to tell. The cab is 1958 but Chevy experts will note that the nose is from a '56 and the bed is a stepside from a 1991 C/K pickup. But the fact is all the parts flow together so nicely that it just looks right. Add in a 4-inch top chop and a hood scoop and it becomes one heck of a custom. To show off that trick bodywork they gave it a shiny turquoise paint job that looks right on the vintage Chevy sheetmetal and foregoes the usual graphics and metallic to make the workmanship speak for itself. Both the front and rear bumpers have been shaved but with the forward-canted fenders and hooded headlights it looks like it's in motion even when it's sitting still. All the emblems and handles were shaved but they kept the shiny headlight rings and chrome grille insert for tradition's sake. The bed is still fully functional and includes a fuel filler cap in the floor a full-sized spare tire and a flush-mounted tonneau cover that keeps everything dry and out of sight. There's also a trailer hitch hidden behind the rear license plate so this is a truck that still works as a truck. The luxurious interior shows more clever parts-bin engineering. Those tan leather buckets are from a late-model Suburban and while they have some character they're also a lot more comfortable than the original vinyl bench. A tilt column from another GM product slides right in and is topped by a leather-wrapped Grant steering wheel and the door panels are custom pieces that look great. An aftermarket center console features locking storage and a pair of cup holders and the dash has been painted to match the body. And speaking of color-matching dig the custom gauges from Dolphin whose t Price: $19,995
