Did you know… Pickup trucks were/are designed to haul large loads, have low top speeds, and NOT meant to handle around corners??? We at Schwartz Performance didn’t get that memo! This 1952 Chevy received the full Schwartz Performance treatment. A solid, bolt-in G-Machine Chassis, LS power, and a 6-speed manual transmission. Check out the Classic Trucks article here:
