It took 2 years to build the house and cost $500,000 to finish.
It’s no longer a 1936 Chevrolet sedan. The custom build took the four-door Chevy sedan and made it a low-riding, low slung pickup truck. The vehicle is a combination of two-tone green and cream, with large semi-truck wheels and a Cummins diesel engine weighing in at 750 horsepower.
It took two years and cost $500,000 to build, although Chad Martin had the original idea over 20 years ago. He designed the car and put it on paper in 1999. It is essentially the same car that started as a 1936 Chevy sedan. Only the original parts of the sedan are the headlight buckets, and the glove box door. Everything else is custom-made, including the leather interior.
The engine is a 24-valve, twin-turbocharged Cummins diesel engine with 750 horsepower (55 kilowatt). It sits under the hood in a Midnight Black or Devil’s Gold engine bay. It measures just under 4 feet high and 20 feet long. The truck is also one foot wider than it was before. This allows for more interior space and allows for the true dual rear axle. It can hold four tires with massive semi-sized 24 inch wheels.
The pickup features a black walnut wood truck bed and stainless steel strips. There’s also a hidden fuel door. This is an ambitious build that took a lot of care and thought. Martin says that the truck is special because he designed, constructed, painted, and dreamed it. Martin stated that the pickup’s low and wide profile is a big draw, which is no surprise. This pickup is a custom-built model that looks unlike anything else we have seen.
