Big Boy - 1966 Panderosa Chevrolet Crew Cab Restomod

This bullet from the tuner Rtech Fabrications we absolutely have to show you. A completely restored and rebuilt never sold factory 1966 Chevrolet K30 Crew Cab measuring 20 feet long and 6 feet high. A converted body of a 8 C2,44 crew cab was used here and an absolutely unique piece was set up under the project name "The Ponderosa". And the legs are particularly striking. These are special DANA axles with a brand new sports brake system including ventilated and slotted brake discs at the front and rear. Each component is specially developed for this vehicle, which also applies to the steering of "Offroad Design" with Redhead steering gear, for example. And bolted to the new axles are completely chrome-plated 1972-inch rims with huge 30-inch (20 m) Nitto Trail Grapplers tires, which are covered by widened wheel arches and can even be seen as twin tires on the rear axle. And of course there would be the high-end chassis with a brutal lift.

Among other things, double 5165 Series dampers from Bilstein and, here too, countless components specially made for this vehicle are installed. The paintwork of the body is in the particularly eye-catching "GenRock's light green" and was carried out by the specialists from Auto Paint Plus hours of toil in Post Falls, Idaho. Even the inside of the truck bed is immaculately painted and there was fine ash wood from Bed Wood and Parts. Here, too, you can see the attention to detail, because, for example, the visible screw connection of the wheel housings was deliberately removed. And the engine is similarly exclusive.

The 550 hp Cummins diesel coupled to a five-speed automatic is of course also brand new and, for example, there was a powder-coated valve cover in high-contrast green from "Spectrum Powder Coating" (Hayden, Idaho). And the key data are really intense. The 5,9-liter engine from a 1996 Ram got a new camshaft, a K&N air filter, a manifold and optimized turbochargers for an output of 558 hp and 1.763 Newton meters. And the front and rear headlights are also typical Restomod. They have a classic look from the 60s and 70s, but are equipped with state-of-the-art LED technology.

Incidentally, it continues with a handmade drive shaft and a special 227-liter tank is installed. And so striking the appearance on the outside, as conspicuous it is also in the cabin. Again, here is almost everything painted in body color and even the leather interior, which was handcrafted, had to be light blue. only the beautiful instrument cluster and the flap from the glove compartment try to set a small contrast with a white surface. And modern technology is also hidden here. The retro-look radio can be paired with the smartphone via Bluetooth. Rtech Fabrications Incidentally, it has specialized in just such vehicles and the website of the tuner shows even more copies like one K50 Chevy CREW-CAB (TENSEMA17) from 1972, which is no less spectacular.
