'El Chueco' is this Radical, No Expense Spared Build 1940 Chevrolet Custom Hot-Rod Pickup finished in Blue Metallic with a Blue and White vinyl interior. Powered by a monstrous 472c.i. Cadillac V8 that was factory rated at 375hp/525lb-ft of torque and back backed by a TH400 automatic transmission. This is no ordinary pickup. Sitting lower than most cars and producing power and noise seen in race cars, this thing is, quite simply, A Beast! The Blue Metallic paint alone is eye-catching, but the extra curb-appeal added to this custom truck will blow you away. Nicknamed "El Chueco" and sporting a look you won't see anywhere else, this truck is everything your imagination could think of and more.

The bodywork boasts custom bright blue metal flake paint with hand-done flames and pinstriping, shaved handles, mirrors and bumpers, and it features a custom nose with open engine bay, which is fully matched to the rest of the truck right down to the pinstriped Cadillac air cleaner and color-matched engine block. The customized bed houses a stainless fuel tank and sits on a bespoke, box section rear frame. The front end received the classic hot rod treatment with dropped spindles, disc brakes, and inverted leaf spring, while the rear suspension is upgraded with coil springs and adjustable air shocks.
