Vehicle Description
1952 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup
The first major redesign after the ending of WWII for Chevrolet was
the "Advance-Design" series of pickup trucks. These were created to
be larger and stronger than previous models and very little things
change until they were redesigned again in 1955. These trucks
combined a nice exterior with a strong backbone so you knew they
could handle whatever work came their way. This 1952 Chevrolet 3100
is no longer working on the farm and has been nicely restored to
its current condition only 2,845 miles ago. It is the 5 window
version meaning in addition to the standard front, rear and side
glass it has 2 back quarter windows as well. This really helps with
visibility and well...just looks good! The truck was restored by
Ramsey Rods and the result is absolutely beautiful. It features
some very subtle customizations combined with vintage originality
creating a very cool looking pickup that drives much more
comfortably. The body is very straight and coated in a Dark Green
paint. The bumpers have been painted Silver, the grills Green, the
running boards Black and the "Chevrolet" lettering on the rear gate
painted White. The bed of the truck was redone in a nice dark wood
with painted to match Green runners. The truck has been lowered
which drastically improves the look. These trucks typically sit
very tall and dropping it some gives it a much sleeker appearance.
The wide white wall tires wrapped around the Black wheels with baby
moons and beauty rings are the perfect setup for this thing to roll
around on. It adds that old school flavor and looks great on this
style of pickup.
Getting those white walls turning is the entirely rebuilt 6
cylinder under the hood. This original Thrift master motor looks
great sitting in place and runs really well. It starts right up and
has plenty of power. It was fitted with dual headers into dual
exhaust which dumps just behind the rear fenders. The system has
been converted to 12V so hunting down 6V parts is no longer an
issue. Some nice modern comforts were incorporated into the truck
like the power rack and pinion steering and power brakes with discs
up front. So while it may have a classic look from the outside it
drives like a much newer vehicle. The transmission is a Turbo 350
automatic that shifts smoothly with no issues. During the
restoration a new American Autowire Harness was installed to
eliminate any electrical issues and keep the wiring cleanly routed.
The truck sounds great and really is a nice driver.
The interior has been kept looking stock except for a few
modernizations that have been incorporated in. It has a Brown
leather bench seat with the same material being used on the doors.
The dash is painted in a Tan color and has mostly the original
layout but is upgraded with aftermarket gauges and a Antique Audio
Radio with Satellite and Bluetooth capabilities. In front of the
driver the tilt column was painted to match the rest of the dash
and is topped with a custom steering wheel. It is very well done
and at a quick glance you may notice the steering wheel but think
it is a pretty stock interior. It isn't until you look closer that
you realize that while many things look vintage they are actually
more modern upgrades. On the floor a Lokar shifter has been added
and the pedals are from Lokar as well. A Vintage AC underdash unit
has been added and blows cold.
This nice running pickup has the perfect classic look but runs down
the road much smoother than back in 1952. The classic and modern
combos were very tastefully done. It comes with a complete build
book and needs nothing.
