Weighs 1.000lbs.
If you're looking to build a "sleeper," Art Morrison's new GT Sport
chassis for 1947-53 Chevrolet pickup trucks is the key. Imagine
having a 60-plus year-old truck that handles like a new Corvette. Our
patina-highlighted "Farm Truck" caused more than a few jaws to drop
performance pad testing for a Custom Classic Trucks story.
The "High Performance" version of this chassis features a "Sport"
independent front suspension with beefy 1 5/16" diameter upper control
arms and upsized poly-bushed rod ends that combines with coil-over
shocks and anti-sway bar (both adjustable) to provide exact handling. It's
also available with an Air Spring+Plus suspension package.
As you can tell by the "Farm Truck" photo, the ride height is quite
low and requires the bed floor to be raised about two inches. The rugged
2x6 frame is designed to "tuck in" the exhaust system for optimum
ground clearance. A 4-bar rear suspension with "Johnny Joint" rod ends
and a Panhard bar provide perfect anchors for the reinforced 9" rear.
Like all other Morrison GT Sport chassis, all required body mounts,
core supports and bumper mounts are included to provide a virtual "bolt
on" build. It can accommodate virtually any V-8 engine/transmission
(stick or automatic) combination. A an optional pedal mount makes for
a clean installation. Truly, the High Performance AME GT Sport chassis
represents a superb investment in fun driving and overall value.
