MotoeXotica Classic Cars is proud to present this 1950 Chevrolet
3100 Five-window �-ton Pickup Truck. This example was made in GM's
Van Nuys, California factory (VIN code 20) in March 1950 (VIN code
C) and it was the 2,277th 3100 truck assembled there. Dressed in a
sharp ivory over black combination, the truck's exterior looks
great, with only minor blemishes visible upon close inspection. The
glass panels, including the split windshield and the triple rear
windows, center, and "Big Windows" over the driver's left and
outboard passenger's right shoulders, which made for easier lane
changes and backing up. The truck's lights are in overall good
order; however, the driver's side taillight is cracked. The truck's
bodywork is straight, its engine bay is very tidy and the cargo
area, with its oaken floor boards, looks fantastic. The steel step
plates and the black running boards look great. The chrome, bladed
bumpers are in very good order, with just a minor blemish on the
rear one and a mark on the front valence panel near the front
bumper. This truck rolls on Firestone Deluxe Champion Gum-Dipped
wide whitewalls, size 6.00-16 at all four corners, mounted on steel
wheels with factory moon wheel covers and ivory beauty rings. The
tires and wheels are all in excellent condition. Under the hood is
Chevrolet's 216 CID inline six-cylinder engine, buttoned to a
three-speed manual transmission with a column-mounted shifter.
Inside, the black bench seat is in great shape, as is the black
floormat, the black headliner and three-spoke steering wheel. The
ivory metal instrument panel, with its full slate of gauges and the
black and white inner door panels are all in very good order. The
fuel and temperature gauge is inoperable. The speedometer/odometer
and the horn are inoperable. This is a radio delete model. In 1950,
telescopic�shock absorbers�replace lever-action type. Last year for
driver's side cowl vent, its handle is now flat steel, not maroon
knob as in previous years. Advance-Design�was a truck series
by�Chevrolet, their first major redesign after WWII. It was billed
as a larger, stronger, and sleeker design in comparison to the
earlier�AK Series. First available on Saturday June 28, 1947, these
trucks were sold with various minor changes over the years until
March 25, 1955, when the�Task Force Series�trucks replaced the
aging Advance-Design model. The same basic design family was used
for all of its trucks including the�Suburban, panel trucks,�canopy
express�and�cab overs. The cab overs used the same basic cab
configuration and similar grille but used a shorter and taller hood
and different fenders. The unique Cab Over fenders and hood
required a custom cowl area which makes the Cab Over Engine cabs
and normal truck cabs incompatible with one another while all truck
cabs of all weights interchange. From 1947 until 1955, Chevrolet
trucks were number one in sales in the United States, with
rebranded versions sold at�GMC�locations. While�General Motors�used
this front-end sheet metal, and to a slightly lesser extent the
cab, on all of its trucks except for the�Cab Overs, there are three
main sizes of this truck: the half-, three-quarter-, and full ton
capacities in short and long wheelbase. Competition to this Chevy
in 1950 was Dodge's B1-B half-tons, Ford's F-1 half-tons and GMC's
New Design Series trucks. If you seek a classic Bowtie Truck to
