Crate LS3 • One-of-a-Kind Patina • Custom Chassis • Air Ride $125,000 Muscle Rust is far more than a restored pickup. It is a professionally engineered custom build that combines handcrafted metalwork, modern performance, and timeless character into a truck unlike anything else on the road. Built with the philosophy that a vehicle should be driven and enjoyed, Muscle Rust delivers modern reliability, exceptional performance, and show-quality craftsmanship without the worry that comes with a fragile, high-dollar paint job. At first glance, it looks like a weathered farm truck. A closer look reveals a powder-coated custom chassis, LS3 power, custom fabrication throughout, and countless unique details that make this truck truly unforgettable. ________________________________________ The Muscle Rust Finish The truck's signature finish was inspired by the natural rust found in the original bed. Over 100 hours were invested creating a controlled acid-rust patina across the entire body. The finish was then wet-sanded and sealed beneath multiple coats of clear to preserve the appearance while protecting the metal. Unlike traditional show paint, this finish invites you to drive and enjoy the truck without worrying about every rock chip or scratch. ________________________________________ Powertrain Chevy Performance Crate LS3 • Approximately 600 HP • Electronic Fuel Injection • March Performance Serpentine System • Cold Air Intake • Custom 3" Stainless Exhaust • X-Pipe • Black Widow Mufflers Transmission & Driveline • TCI Super Street Fighter 4L60E Automatic • Custom John's Industries Aluminum Driveshaft • John's Industries Ford 9" Rear End • Trac-Loc Differential Major driveline components were selected to support up to 750 horsepower. ________________________________________ Chassis & Suspension The truck rides on a heavily modified Chevrolet S10 chassis featuring extensive fabrication and engineering. • Custom Crossmembers • Powder-Coated Frame • Air Ride Suspension • Triangulated Four-Link Rear Suspension • Power Steering • Wilwood Disc Brakes The result is a truck that drives, handles, and stops like a modern vehicle while retaining its 1949 character. ________________________________________ Custom Fabrication & One-Off Details Muscle Rust is filled with details that reveal the level of craftsmanship invested in the build. Hand-Hammered Steel Bed Tubs Custom steel wheel tubs were individually hand-formed to accommodate the massive 315/35R20 rear tires. The tubs were then finished using the same Muscle Rust process as the body, giving them a seamless, factory-inspired appearance while showcasing true metal-shaping craftsmanship. Custom Fuel Cap A custom aviation-style aluminum fuel cap serves as a centerpiece of the bed. Engraved with: MUSCLE RUST ROCKET FUEL it perfectly captures the personality of the truck while tying together vintage styling and modern performance.

Very few have identity. Muscle Rust was built with a clear vision from start to finish. Every detail, from the hand-crafted tubs to the Rocket Fuel fuel cap, from the powder-coated chassis to the custom patina finish, contributes to a truck that is instantly recognizable and impossible to duplicate. It's comfortable enough to cruise cross-country with the A/C on, powerful enough to surprise modern muscle cars, and detailed enough to draw a crowd wherever it goes.
