1955 Chevy Truck, owned by Carl & Michelle Shyiak, built by Painthouse. SEMA 2019 Battle of the Builders Truck Winner.
Starting with a modified TCI frame as well as suspension components from both TCI and RideTech, the 1955 Chevy pickup rolls on 18- and 20-inch Billet Specialties wheels and Continental tires. Wilwood discs handle the stopping chores.
Power comes from a Chevrolet Performance LSX454 V8 that produces 720 horsepower. A Performance Design carbon fiber cross-ram intake feeds into Trick Flow heads that are topped by Billet Specialties valve covers. Stainless Works headers feed waste gases through a Magnaflow exhaust system. A Legend five-speed transmission transfers the power to a Currie 9-inch rearend.
A few of the custom touches include custom sheet metal surrounding the engine, with hidden fasteners; an electric tilt bed (more useful than I had ever anticipated); electric power brakes hidden under the dash; a hand-made rear bumper built by Sean Ornduff; bed wood crafted from 120+ year old Polynesian Teak wood and two PAINTHOUSE-created custom PPG colors - “Pearlot” on the top and “Randy Apple Red 2” on the bottom.
