Enyo Face: Ringbrothers Brings Wild 1000-HP '48 Chevy Pickup to SEMA

• Enyo, the latest creation from Ringbrothers, is based on a 1948 Chevy half-ton truck.

• A giant 8.4-liter V-8 that makes 1000 horsepower on 110-octane race gas powers this beast.

• Ringbrothers includes both street and race tires for Enyo.

Ringbrothers is at it again. The Wisconsin-based parts manufacturer and custom vehicle builder is once again using the SEMA show in Las Vegas to show off its latest crazy creations, the craziest of which is arguably a 1948 Chevrolet half-ton pickup christened Enyo. It's one of four vehicles the shop shipped to Vegas for the 2022 show (the others are Bully, a '72 Chevy K5 Blazer; Strode, a '69 Chevy Camaro; and Patriarc, a '69 Ford Mustang Mach 1).

Admittedly, calling this tricked-out truck a '48 Chevy half-ton is a bit of a stretch, as Enyo only shares its steel passenger compartment with the near-75-year-old pickup. And even those pieces are anything but stock, as Ringbrothers narrowed and chopped the cab by four inches and lengthened it by two. The rest of Enyo's body features custom carbon-fiber pieces.

Gone is the original truck's ladder frame. Instead, Enyo pins its bodywork atop a special one-off chassis. With no fenders, a wide track, and a low stance, Enyo looks less like a custom '48 Chevy truck and more like the love child of a post-war Chevy truck and an open-wheel race car.
