Vehicle Description
As a top retailer of customs, specialties and historical artifacts,
RK Motors Charlotte makes it easy for you to find cool versions of
a variety of collector cars. With that in mind, we're also the
outfit that strives to bring our clients unique and well-done
offerings that are approachable and easily streetable. On that
note, our latest lights-out classic is this sweet Chevy 3100: a
timeless resto-mod that, thanks to its massaged chassis, modern air
conditioning and proven 350/700R4 drivetrain, cruises the blacktop
like a champ!
PERFECT IN PURPLE
Fully sorted and ready to roll, this polished pickup is the
beneficiary of a detailed, ground-up restoration that mixed
head-turning poise with proven athleticism. All that lovable charm
was carefully sealed in refreshing purple two-stage. And today, the
truck rolls as unique but familiar street rod art that's easy to
live with and even easier to look at! The exhibit kicks off with a
polished bumper, which guards a polished grille that centers small
parking lamps between an ornate header and stainless-trimmed
lights. A long hood, branded with flashy "CHEVROLET 3100' profile
banners, fronts a stainless-trimmed, five-window cab. That glass,
cleared by polished wipers and reflected in small hot rod mirrors,
caps a simplistic profile that's finished with factory door handles
and requisite cylinder caps. Behind those handles, a spectacular
wood bed centers a relocated fuel filler amid polished skid strips.
And behind that filler, a custom roll pan frames a massaged
tailgate, custom post caps and polished LED taillights
SMALL BLOCK POWER
Pop the hood and you'll find 350 cubic inches of proven Chevy small
block that's been polished, rebuilt and fitted with spry Vortec
heads. Those iron caps get fed by a coated Edelbrock 4-barrel,
which rides between a lightweight Edelbrock intake and a polished
hot rod air cleaner. At the perimeter of that intake, polished
Chevrolet valve covers hang a polished bowtie oil cap opposite a
polished Edelbrock breather. The fires get lit by a hot HEI
distributor, which sparks loomed Taylor plug wires. Spent gases
fall through stainless Hooker Super Comp block huggers. At the
front of those tubes, billet brackets and pulleys spin a polished
alternator and a polished AC compressor. At the front of those
ancillaries, a beefy Walker radiator pairs a polished bowtie cap
with a large electric puller fan. And details like trick dipsticks,
braided fluid lines and a smoothed firewall mix first-rate looks
with first-rate functionality.
ENJOY THE DRIVE
Slide under this rig and you'll find a clean, road ready
undercarriage that's founded on a thoughtfully modified chassis. At
the front of those Satin Black bones, a trusty Heidts suspension
frames power rack-and-pinion steering. Opposite that clip, a 9-inch
Ford axle pushes factory leaf springs. That pumpkin twists a tough
Denny's driveshaft thanks to a smooth 700R4 4-speed. That momentum
is countered by a floor-mount brake booster, which pushes power to
two discs and two drums. The aforementioned headers dump spent
gases into glasspack-style mufflers, which roar through
NASCAR-style boom tubes. An electronic fuel pump siphons a custom
fuel tank. And at the corners, American Racing Rodders spin
205/50ZR17 Riken Raptors in front of 255/50ZR17 Bridgestone
Potenzas.
COOL IN CONTRAST
In the 1950s, trucks were all about comfort and utility - not DVDs,
wireless and navigation systems. That's why it's so refreshing to
hop in the cab of this purposeful but nicely appointed 3100. The
star of the show is a custom-upholstered bench that definitely ups
the style quotient. A chrome-trimmed dash sandwiches modern air
conditioning and direct-fit audio between a large tachometer,
Stuart Warner telemetry and Auto Gage accessory gauges. Custom door
panels ride under polished window frames. Fade-free carpet is
stretched tight under billet foot pedals, a polished brake handle
and a tall Lokar shifter. And the driver feels the road through a
polished and half-wrapped steering wheel that laps a modern,
tilting column.
Easy to cruise and fun to look at, this choice Chevy should make
every enthusiast smile. It backs modern performance with a solid
restoration that's ready to conquer the blacktop and stop the show!
