Wingo has owned his
2006 Goodguys Truck of the Year “Early” – winning
1950 Studebaker pickup since high school. Collaborating
with Seymour, Illinois based Custom Fab and Welding and
GS Customs he remade the pickup from an old beater and
somewhat of an oddball into the show stopper it has
become today. The tired body was whipped into shape with
countless hours of paint and body modifications which
include a one and a half inch chop at the A-pillar, 2002
Jeep headlights and lots of other smooth tricks. The bed
was treated with custom taillights, a 1998 Ford truck
tailgate and a very cool candy-painted logo in the bed
floor. The entire package is cloaked in a luscious deep
orange copper courtesy of PPG. A GM Performance Parts
Ramjet 350 and a 700R4 were selected for power and are
cooled by a custom aluminum radiator by PRC / Street Rod
Stuff. Inside the truck, beige leather and copper carpet
accent the custom wrap around dash. Nitto Tires and
Coddington Smoothie wheels connect through Air-Ride
equipped C4 suspension to a custom frame. |
