Vehicle Description
Patina trucks teach us there's more than meets the eye. After all,
with a terrific gloss, upgraded A/C interior, a fresh crate V8, and
much more, this 1954 Chevrolet 3100 pickup has a cool kind of
confidence that goes beyond its worn-in appearance.
While this has the unmistakable look of patina and a weathered barn
wood truck bed, you're really looking at a restoration that was
completed in 2017. That's why the worn-in look of this carefully
crafted paint is augmented by a clearcoat. The result is a cool
classic pickup that looks like you're preserving a barn find shop
truck - and it even has the antiques store graphics to drive this
point home. But as you take a closer look, you also see how much
thoughtfulness went into this build. The proof is in the full
custom pinstripe package, including the rear fender's curved spare
tire insert that's now used for more cool shop truck script. Plus,
there's more distinction in the details, everywhere from shining
bumper and grille, to the lowered suspension, to how the red wheels
provide a preview of the interior.
Plenty of bright red, supple black, and pinstriping await you
inside. But while this gives you a worn-in look on the outside, the
interior is filled with modern comfort. The bench seat has
comfortable cloth inserts for where you sit and beneath the plush
carpeting is Dynamat insulation. There's a retro-style AM/FM
digital tuner that has a Bluetooth connection, and you stay cool
with modern R134a air conditioning. Even with all these upgrades,
you still get a great classic pickup feeling from the vintage-style
steering wheel and large factory-style gauge package.
While the exterior tries to hide its upgraded look, the engine bay
cannot conceal all the great modern investments. You're looking at
a fresh 350 cubic-inch crate motor. It inhales deeply with a
four-barrel carburetor and exhales with extra power as headers feed
the dual exhaust. Plus, you have the right supporting components
with taut belts, good hoses, and an aluminum radiator w/electric
fan to help keep this pickup running cool even if you're in traffic
with the A/C pumping. This truck was clearly built for driving,
that's why you have the new tubular A-arm front suspension, power
steering, front disc brakes, and a three-speed automatic
transmission.
Complete with build receipts and restoration photos, this is an
exceptionally cool patina custom that's unique, fresh, and
all-around comfortable. So don't miss out on something this
distinct. Call now!
