Have you ever heard the saying "Beauty is in the eye of the
beholder"? That's what this owner had in mind when she and her
uncle set out on this build! This 1949 Chevrolet 3100 pick-up for
sale is a real beauty dressed in patina and keeping that feeling of
what counts is what's on the inside. Powering this 3100 is a 350
cubic inch Vortec crate engine from Blueprint engines. Built when
trucks were needed to be reliable and dependable for the everyday
working man, this truck reigned supreme. Backing the salty
8-cylinder engine is a smooth shifting 4-speed automatic
transmission. The 4-speed is a blast to drive and takes the hassle
out of shifting while keeping rpms at a low level while cruising no
matter the speed! Dual exhaust chrome tips combined with the mild
camshaft in the V8 complete the thumpity-thump of the engine
letting everyone know this pickup means business. The exterior is
dressed it the factory sheet metal and mother nature has done her
best to give the pickup the look it has today! Clear coat has been
sprayed over the exterior sheet metal to help keep the look just
perfect but make it a driveable hot rod. The frame and all of its
components have been reconditioned with parts being replaced if
needed and then powdercoated for better durability. With chrome
bumpers, and trim pieces this driver has some shine that will catch
eyes wherever it goes. Then when jumping in the cab, it feels like
you've been taken back into time. The aftermarket gauge cluster
sits in the factory dash and gives you an idea of how simple these
trucks really were when they were built while still housing every
vital for the pickup. The bench seat has the comfy/cushion feel
that will make you think of yesteryear and has been reupholstered
in a sharp brown. You can view this 1949 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup in
