Vehicle Description
Patina trucks teach us there's more than meets the eye. After all,
with a terrific gloss, upgraded suspension, and a powerful V8, this
1952 GMC 3100 5-window pickup has a cool kind of confidence that
goes beyond its worn-in appearance.
This is a patina'd body, which is always going to get you attention
and start conversations wherever you go. But what gives this one
back the hint of luster it lost decades ago is a new clearcoat
finish. It seals in the distinct appearance and adds some
protection, which is a good thing considering all the other
investments that have been made to make this a long-term classic.
You see its true charm in the glossy wood truck bed, bright trim,
and pinstriping on the hood and tailgate. And the desirable
5-window body is always in style. Plus, the lowered suspension
neatly tucks brand new 18-inch Foose chrome wheels under the
classic fender lines.
Inside there has been an investment in comfort without losing the
vintage attitude. New carpeting, side panels, and door trim give
you a fresh feeling. Plus, the taut black on the bench seat and
glossy black dash complete this stylish look. You get the classic
elements, like the art deco dash. But now that's integrated with
more modern comfort with upgrades like the black and chrome
steering wheel, tilt column, and full Classics instruments
gauges.
Under the hood is a terrific V8 upgrade. You have a tidy setup with
extra flair on the air topper and valve covers. There are even nice
extras like the serpentine belt system and A/C compressor already
in place. The 350 cubic-inch motor is far more displacement than
what came on this GMC series, and this one is further enhanced with
an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, hi-rise aluminum intake, and
shorty headers that feed the rumbling dual exhaust. And if this
gets you thinking about cruising this patina machine, don't forget
to check out the undercarriage. There you'll spot some terrific
modern integration of a Ford Crown Vic front end and four-wheel
disc brakes. Plus, with a four-speed automatic transmission, power
steering, and the grip of modern tires, you see how comfortable it
is to cruise this patina machine.
This is an exceptionally cool patina custom that's unique, sporty,
and all-around comfortable. So don't miss out on something this
distinct. Call today!!!
