Custom Built From Front to Back
Black Betty takes the recognizable lines of a 1946 Chevrolet truck and transforms them into a truly distinctive custom creation. Ride Craft has extensively reworked the truck with custom fabrication throughout, giving it a wide, low stance and a uniquely aggressive appearance.
The satin black finish is complemented by a striking red engine compartment, matching red wheels, and polished engine components. Oversized rear fenders, custom running boards, and a distinctive rear lighting arrangement complete the truck's unmistakable look.
The rear chassis features an exposed custom framework and wood deck, while the twin vertical exhaust stacks and bright red, custom-lettered fuel tank provide some of the truck's most recognizable details.
Small-Block Chevrolet Power
Power comes from a cammed Chevrolet 350 small-block V8 paired with a Turbo 350 automatic transmission. The engine features a custom intake arrangement, polished components, and an impressively detailed engine compartment.
Underneath, the truck features a full air ride suspension system with 8 inches of adjustable lift and a custom four-link rear suspension. This setup allows Black Betty to achieve its dramatic lowered stance while providing the ability to raise the truck when needed.
A Custom Interior Finished to Your Taste
One of the most appealing aspects of Black Betty is the opportunity for its next owner to help determine the final interior appearance.
The truck already features a custom red dashboard, Dakota Digital instrumentation, tilt steering column, Old Air air conditioning, and a Snowden custom seat.
Ride Craft will complete the interior and glass as part of the advertised asking price, giving the buyer the opportunity to incorporate their own preferences into the finished truck.
Rather than purchasing a completed custom build with someone else's interior choices, the new owner can have a say in the finishing touches while benefiting from the extensive fabrication and mechanical work already completed.
