Vehicle Description
Bright chrome, windshield sun visor, tall whitewalls, patina, and
that great art deco color make this 1950 Chevrolet 3100 seem like
the perfect time capsule. But when you notice lowered suspension
and hear the sound of the V8, you realize this classy pickup is
also custom cruiser.
This Chevy just gets cooler the longer you look at it. That's
because it features just the right amount of patina to make people
take notice. It might have the look of worn-in, but there was a
solid investment in getting this to look like a barn find. You know
that immediately as you inspect the quality of the bright turquoise
paint and how everything is smooth over the Chevy's famously
rounded fenders. Plus, this tall truck has a huge silver chrome
streak, with pieces like its wraparound bumper and legendary
five-bar grille that stand out like a pristine art deco skyscraper.
There's even plenty of brightwork complementing the real wood truck
bed. And while this one has a great vintage appearance, this one
also gives plenty of hints that it's a custom build. After all,
while you might be admiring those color matched steelie wheels with
whitewalls, you also can't help but notice they tuck under the body
for a lowered, more aggressive stance.
Inside, the turquoise returns on all the metal parts, but it's now
joined by some terrific brown vinyl on the bench seat and door
panels. And with carpeting that has matching tan piping, this is
truly a premium presentation. But that hint of barn find attitude
is still present on the interior, too, for those who really look
for it - anyone else spot the pre-war Ford steering wheel? Beyond
that is a full set of Dolphin gauges, which is another clue to the
performance upgrade in this patina pickup.
The standard Thriftmaster six-cylinder engine that came with this
Chevy 3100 would never do in a truck this cool. Instead, it was
upgraded to iconic small block power with a 350 cubic-inch V8. It
looks just as ready to show off as the rest of the truck with the
shiny ribbed valve covers and air topper. And even some of the
brightwork is part of the mechanical enhancements, too, like the
pulleys and aluminum radiator. And we know you love how the block
was painted to match the rest of the truck's turquoise. But more
than just look great, this is a powerful package with a Holley
Four-barrel carburetor and Weiand intake. There's also a lot of
comfort in this classic, including a TH400 three-speed automatic
transmission and power steering. Plus, the front end is a far more
modern setup with an independent suspension that features sway bar
front disc brakes.
A terrific all-around presentation with all the right upgrades
makes for an iconic classic with plenty of modern appeal. A
turn-key package like this is so irresistible, you know you need to
hurry to grab this Chevy. Call today!!!
