Vehicle Description
Advanced Design Chevy trucks seem to be one of the hottest vintage
pickups going because they combine an upright tough appearance with
some of the sleek lines that make other GM products iconic in the
'50s. So we're always excited to have a 1950 Chevrolet 3100 pickup
like this one that perfectly blends vintage style with new
amenities - like a powerful V8, A/C interior, and fully upgraded
suspension.
The restoration was a careful creation to make sure it's the kind
of body that draws attention from everyone. The butter-smooth black
paint highlights just how amazingly straight the panels are. This
helps you see all the best elements of the exterior, like the
alligator hood, full-length step rails, real wood truck bed, and
curvaceous fenders. But the paint is only the beginning. Rivaling
it for shine is the mirror-like bumper, complete trim, and the
iconic five-slat grille that looks like an Art Deco skyscraper. And
that's just the investment in the vintage pieces. This one also
instantly announces it's something quite special with the lowered
suspension and custom roll pan. And the clincher for this custom
attitude comes from the large 17-inch Ridler wheels.
Inside is more of that gloss black, and now it's joined by new
tasteful saddle on the door panels and seats. It's the kind of
quality and color combo that you'd expect on a luxury car, not a
vintage truck. In fact, you have other nice luxury features like an
AM/FM/CD stereo, power steering, and ice-cold R134a air
conditioning. And as you slip behind the sports steering wheel, and
glare at the full gauge panel, you realize that the upgrades are
not just about comfort - it's about performance, too.
When you lift the hood, the whole engine bay looks clean and mean.
The glossy black on the fender walls and firewall funnel your
attention to all the polished components on this 350 cubic-inch V8.
More than just look great, this is a powerful setup with a Holley
four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock intake, Accel HEI super coil,
aluminum radiator w/electric fan, and ceramic coated headers that
add power while also contributing to the rumble of the dual
exhaust. This enhanced V8 feeds a B&M TH400 three-speed
automatic transmission with a Lokar shifter, so you know it can
handle the extra power. And make sure you look at the undercarriage
photos. There you'll not only spot a very clean build, but also all
the upgraded suspension components. This features a Heidts front
end with tubular A-arms and a strong four-link rear. Plus, behind
every wheel are adjustable coilovers and slotted & vented disc
brakes.
This is the kind of classic pickup that sacrifices nothing. You can
be a big hit at your next event without having to leave the
air-conditioned comfort of your driver's seat. This kind of appeal
means the truck won't be with us long. Call today!!!
