Service Job · Drivetrain & Interior
1959 Utility Truck 4WD
Penny brought us a wonderful original-paint Utility Truck out of Washington with one clear ask: fix what’s mechanically tired, but don’t touch the patina. The body had earned every mark on it, and she wanted it to keep telling that story.
Our service work focused entirely below the bodywork — a thorough chassis and drivetrain restoration to bring it back to a reliable driver, plus a full interior re-upholstery in period-correct material so it would be a comfortable place to spend miles.
Job Highlights
What This Service Job Included
Chassis & Drivetrain Refresh
Complete inspection and overhaul of frame, suspension, brakes, and drivetrain — while leaving the original body and paint untouched.
L-6 226 Mechanical Sort
Super Hurricane inline-six tuned and sorted — new gaskets, fresh fluids, ignition refresh, and a smooth idle restored.
Patina Preserved
Original paint and exterior trim left exactly as found — sealed and protected, but never sanded or refinished. Every chip kept its story.
Interior Re-Upholstery
Full interior re-upholstery in period-correct material — seats, headliner, and door panels rebuilt for a comfortable daily driver.
