Vehicle Description
We love classic pickups because they make everybody smile. A truck
like this 1951 Chevrolet 3100 5-window pickup looks like it has a
10,000-watt chrome grin, because it's so fresh off of a full
restoration, you'll be the first one to get it to double-digit
mileage.
Take a moment to look over every inch of this one, because you're
looking at a time machine. This pickup's exterior has been restored
to get you back to 1951. It starts with the Fathom Green paint.
It's the perfect color for what you picture when imagining an
iconic '50s pickup. And the level of gloss and shine on this fresh
restoration makes sure that it grabs attention on every sunny
Sunday drive. Plus, truck people always recognize optional rear
quarter glass that makes this the desirable five-window pickup. The
pristine brightwork gives this one even more standout presence with
the tall art deco grille, chrome bumpers, complete trim, and
correct badging. And don't let the shine block you from seeing the
details. The grille correctly has white paint behind the chrome;
the two-piece wheels have the Chevrolet lettering in red; and the
real lumber in the truck bed feels fresh and smooth. This is the
difference that comes from investing in a full restoration that has
so few miles on it.
Inside, the time machine feeling continues, but with a few nice
upgrades. For example, the black door panels are stronger and the
arm rests are better padded that original. Plus, the dash has a
mirror-like shine, the headliner is exceptionally fresh, and even
the interior light works. And when you sit down, the bench seat
with modern bolstering and comfortable cloth inserts make the miles
feel so much nicer. But while the details have been covered better
than any vintage truck you've looked at before, it never loses the
atmosphere that instantly reminds you of the pride in an honest
day's work. The driver gets the kind of three-spoke embossed
steering wheel that was purely functional decades ago, but today it
is beautifully artistic. Behind that is an original gauge cluster
with readouts for the fuel, water temperature, oil pressure, and
battery. After all, this pickup is from a time when people wanted
to know just that vital info.
Lift the hood, and the straight-six motor was restored to be
impressive in a very unique way. A truck this honest on the outside
could never have a chrome-filled engine bay. Instead, the glossy
gray Chevy block and head cover draws all the attention to the
Thriftmaster, perfectly stenciled in yellow. The whole motor
screams originality, but you can tell everything from the
distributor to the oil bath air cleaner are much more
"spick-n-span" then the days when this pickup was a daily
workhorse. And just because this is now a valued classic, does not
mean you have to ever worry about getting any job done. In fact,
you're actually looking at a more powerful 235 cubic-inch motor.
The engine still produces the kind of torque that made these an
industrial legend, and the three-on-the-tree manual transmission
further enhances its usability. Overall, going for a drive in this
pickup is a fun experience thanks to the great rhythmic hum from a
motor that doesn't know how to quit.
We know you've looked at everything, right down to the
undercarriage photos. It proves to you how clean and fresh this
restored Chevy is. The 3100 series trucks are red hot right now,
and this one is the cream of the crop. Don't miss out, call
