Vehicle Description
It's great to get the patina look on this 1948 Chevrolet 3100. But
as you dig deeper, this cool worn-in classic will charm you with
all the additions like the V8 power and upgraded suspension.
We all love the idea of finding a classic Chevy pickup in a field
where it has been lost to the decades. And this one is even an
ultra-desirable 5-window cab! It really has that ideal patina look
where nature has had as much to do with its style as the hallmark
alligator hood. And while details like the iconic grille have the
right look of age, upon closer inspection, you'll see the right
investment in new components like the window seals. It's because
they really took their time to create something special when this
was restored in 2016. And more than just a cool classic, the
lowered suspension and raised truck bed hint at more investments
beneath the skin.
The orange paint inside has the same worn-in coolness of the
exterior. And just like the outside, you can also tell they made a
nice mix of vintage and new. After all, you get the classic dash
and the classic gauges, but the setup is far more comfortable. The
bench seat was recently recovered, and the carpeting has a nice
freshness. Plus, you get a grippy Grant steering wheel, tilt
column, floor shifter, and a full auxiliary readout trio. So the
investments make for a nice driver.
This truck gets more of the right improvements as you look under
the hood. While it was born before the V8 era, you can see this now
has mighty small block power. The 350 cubic-inch motor inhales
deeply with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, and headers add
more power while also contributing to the rumble of the dual
exhaust. And this pickup makes enjoying this V8 easy with nice
features like a three-speed automatic transmission and an aluminum
radiator w/electric fan. And as you look at the undercarriage
photos, you're going to see a more modern frame with an upgraded
independent front suspension and four-link rear. Plus, with power
steering, front disc brakes, and modern tires, this patina classic
is really a great anytime cruiser.
Patina always has a cool confidence to its look, but this one does
it better with confident components under the skin, too. So don't
miss this distinct and desirable Chevy. Call today!!!
