Vehicle Description
A 1950 Chevrolet 3100 with the desirable 5-window cab is always a
great classic. But when it also has been upgraded with V8 power, a
better suspension, and more comfort, this classic pickup becomes a
true all-around cruiser.
This one gets the iconic look right with a bright chrome bumper,
and an even brighter art deco grille leading the way. It's a true
classic with the complete trim, stepside truck bed, and glossy real
wood lining that bed. Plus, collectors know the value in having the
extra glass of a 5-window cab. But more than just a true classic,
there's also plenty of hints at a custom attitude with the flush
roll pan, wide dual exhaust tips, and bright Ridler alloys with a
nice 17/18-inch front/rear stagger for a sporty stance.
Inside the tasteful tan goes nicely against the exterior's creamy
white. They took their time to give this a unique interior with
everything from a nice pattern on the bench seats to a custom Chevy
bow tie embossed in each door panel. Some upgrades a subtle, like
the plush carpeting or electronic windshield wipers. Other are more
noticeable like the AM/FM/CD stereo with aux input for your iPod.
But all of these additions go to making this a truck that feels
like a nice place to spend so time. You even get a grippy
later-model Chevy truck wheel on a tilt column. And this gives you
a great view of the full Dolphin gauge cluster.
The engine bay is filled with small block power. Chevy was a long
way from offering a V8 trucks in 1950, but the benefit of a full
custom means this very worthwhile upgrade. The 305 cubic-inch V8
looks nice with the flame-etched valve covers, bold block, and
bright air topper. It has been enhanced with an Edelbrock
four-barrel carburetor and Edelbrock Performer EPS intake. This not
only adds power, but also contributes to the sweet sounds of the
dual exhaust. This is built to enjoy on the road, and so it has a
three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and power
brakes with discs up front. In fact, there are some nice upgrades
you don't find on many custom trucks. For example, the aluminum
radiator helps keep this running cool in all conditions. Plus, the
suspension has car-like features such a thick front sway bar and a
triangulated four-link rear, which provides you with a far smoother
ride than most '50s pickups.
This is a thoughtfully build custom that still knows how to show
off its classic attitude. That makes it a great total package
that's ready to run right now. Call soon!
