1953 3100 Extended Cab

This is the truck that technically started Adams Customs, spanning three generations.

Stage 1: 1988

The 1953 Chevy is Todd (dad) Adam's high school build. In the early 2000s, Todd and his dad got the truck back on the road, despite not really knowing what they were doing at the time. In 8 months, they managed to put the truck back to its original condition with a yellow paint job and
а 250 6-cylinder. Todd drove the truck throughout high school & college.

​

Stage 2: 1999

In 1999, the real transformation began. Todd cut the frame & cab, and running boards, and lengthened them by 21 inches. He replaced the original bed with a 1995 Chevrolet short bed fleetside, narrowing it by 12 inches. Original rear fenders from the 1953 truck were cut down and grafted to the side of the 1995 bed to give it the factory retention look.

​

The truck was put on hold in 2000 as Todd got married, and had his first son in 2001. In 2001, Todd started doing the bodywork and painted the truck Prowler yellow.

​

Stage 3: 2003

In 2003, he decided the truck needed some extra colors and added purple, green, and salmon. For 18 years, the grandparents drove the truck to various car shows in Arizona and California®

Decades later, the build was outdated. In February 2023, Todd agreed to let Bryce Adams, 20 years old at the time, build the truck.​​
