16. The Dogist

So, we have decided that Finn is too good of a boy not to keep. Also, we’ve fallen in love with him. We originally planned to take him to LA to find him a home, but we didn’t make it that far – we decided to turn around at the Grand Canyon. We, like many fosters before us, realized that we couldn’t go back to life before Finn. He had simply become part of our family. So, although the road trip is over, our journey with Finn has really just begun. So get ready to watch this good boy continue to grow up! We’ve created a separate account for him, called @KeepingFinn, where you can follow his daily life with his new proud father, Henry, brother to Elias (The Dogist). Cheers to @TheSatoProject and everyone who made this #RescueRide possible – we’re super excited to begin this new phase of life with a dog (finally) and stay tuned for more very exciting news coming soon!

Lenny Giambalvo’s 1952 Chevy Truck is Built Around Family Values

The only thing better than being a classic truck enthusiast is quite possibly influencing future generations to get involved in the hobby. It gets even better when a parent has the chance to build a classic hauler at home right in the family garage with their son or daughter. For Lenny Giambalvo of Huntington, New York, his personal automotive passions definitely influenced his son, Mark, to not only get involved in the hobby, but to eventually open one of the East Coast’s more well-known hot rod shops, Creative Rod & Kustom in Womelsdorf, Pennsylvania.

Looking back at his own roots, Lenny gained an appreciation for high performance in his early years. As an avid fan of SCCA sports car racing, he eventually becoming involved, owning a pair of Triumph GT6s, as well as Porsches and even a Willy’s pickup. Regular visits to watch cars run at Watkins Glenn, Lime Rock, National Speedway, and Bridge Hampton fueled the fire and officially pulled him deeper into the web. As the years passed he started a family and honed in his career, never losing touch as a car owner. When Mark expressed an interest at an early age the pair teamed up, becoming regular visitors at Maple Grove Raceway in Pennsylvania to watch quarter-mile action and walk the pits to see the nitro-burning warriors up close. They also frequented both large scale and local custom car events where Mark became extremely interested in vintage Chevy trucks.

It wasn’t long till the duo picked up a thrashed 1952 Chevy pickup to start a father and son project in the home shop. Seeing that the project would entail an extreme amount of effort Lenny began a search for a more solid base, one that was an actual runner to take over for the existing truck. Mark’s perseverance, however, took over as he moved forward with his plans for a very elegant, contemporary-styled truck with endless modifications. Regardless, Lenny moved forward to secure another truck and began to scour the local For Sale ads, as well as surrounding town newspapers. He eventually located a well-patina’d 1952 Chevy pickup that had served its life as a hauler for an appliance store in New Jersey as evidenced by the faded markings on its doors. It was a runner in need of a full restoration and relatively solid. A deal was made and the truck now took up residence in the family shop next to Mark’s project. What’s a dad to do? Start building his own truck alongside his son’s project! Initial thoughts circulated around restoring his new find to original condition, however after examining the project, it was decided to restore the truck with a slammed stance and just enough modern conveniences to make it easy to drive and enjoy.

To get the project started the truck was torn down and its frame was evaluated. Seeing that it was rock solid it was blasted clean and given a fresh coating of chassis black and treated to a tubular transmission crossmember. Out back a 1966 Pontiac rear packs 3.73:1 gears and is suspended in place by a combination of 3-inch lowered leaf springs from LMC Truck, along with Monroe tube shocks. To add stance, handling, and performance up front a TCI Engineering Coil Spring IFS was grafted in place, accented by their signature upper and lower control arms, matching 2-inch drop spindles, tube shocks, and 7/8-inch performance antiroll bar. For plenty of stopping power a TCI Engineering under-floor dual power master with 7-inch booster moves fluid through stainless lines to 1966 Pontiac rear drums and 11-inch GM discs and calipers up front. To bring it all to the street a set of classic Wheel Vintiques 17-Series Artillery wheels are wrapped in Coker Classic wide whites, accented by OEM-style hubcaps with red lettering.

For plenty of dependable power to give the truck newfound attitude Lenny selected a freshly minted Chevrolet Performance 350ci/290hp crate V-8. Starting with a new cast-iron four-bolt main block they packed it with a nodular iron crank linked to powdered metal steel connecting rods wearing cast aluminum pistons to generate 8.0:1 compression. Plenty of thump comes from a hydraulic flat-tappet cam while iron cylinder heads with 76cc chambers generate plenty of flawless power. Up top, an Edelbrock Performer intake breathes deep through an Edelbrock Thunder Series AVS 650-cfm carb sparked to life by a GM HEI while spent gases flow through Hooker ceramic-coated block-hugger headers to a custom 2 1/4-inch steel exhaust with Thrush mufflers. Additional bits include Edelbrock Classic Series finned aluminum valve covers and complementing air cleaner along with just enough detailing to make it a standout. To move the power a warmed-over GM TH350 links to a custom steel driveshaft.

In order to breathe life back into the weathered old sheetmetal everything was stripped clean for evaluation. Seeing that the truck was going to retain its factory good looks Lenny joined Mark and his team at Creative Rod & Kustom to get busy by replacing any problem areas with fresh steel from LMC Truck, including the cab corners, door bottoms, and floors while also finessing all of the original sheetmetal to perfection, setting all the gaps, and metal finishing the body. Wanting the truck to have a very subtle appearance, Lenny went through the PPG color catalog and selected a very classic Orchard Green hue. Mark then loaded his spray gun and laid down the vibe, bringing everything to life. Assembling the truck plenty of chrome added sparkle from LMC Truck, including bumpers, grille, taillights, and other assorted bits. Completing the look, the bed floor was filled with red oak and finished to perfection. Inside the factory dash was refreshed and filled with dials from Omega Kustom to monitor the vitals accented by cool breezes from Vintage Air, while a Lecarra Mark 10 Classic steering wheel mounted to an ididit tilt column carves the course. For plenty of comfort on the long hauls a Glide Engineering bench was treated to yards of black Ultraleather in a traditional pleated pattern by RP Interiors of Horseheads, New York, who also handled the side panels and headliner. A black pile loop carpet from Auto Custom Carpet seals the deal, combined with an American Autowire wiring harness. The truck was a great experience for both Lenny and Mark, working together while also creating something truly unique, sealed with bond of a father and son, and to us that’s just plain cool.
