The '47 Chevy Autocross Frankenstein

Please welcome the Chevy S10 Autocross truck… Wait a second, something is not right here… That’s because you are looking at a 1947 Chevy pickup truck, however, this body has been fitted to the chassis of a shortened Chevy S10. Yep. You heard correctly.

This beast was fabricated by Stephen and Tyler Gibson for around 1000 bucks. With a 305 V8 engine thrown in it and a rear suspension nearly entirely made from scratch. Some parts taken from the original S10 donor car and others from a discarded dirt track race car.

It pushes 390 HP and 371 foot pounds of torque to the rear wheels, and weighing just under 2,400 ponds, it is a recipe for fun. It’s crazy to think that the most expensive thing on the car are the $300 Cragar rims! This just demonstrates that you don’t need money to build an awesome ride!
