For Sale: 1948 Chevrolet 3100 in Concord, North Carolina

STK 2932 1948 Chevrolet 3100

This 1948 Chevrolet 3100 5-window pickup has been a member of one family since the day it left the showroom floor. It has been the beneficiary of a full restoration - some of the work done by the owner and some professionally. The solid, straight body has been refinished in single-stage Maroon enamel that was applied liberally and is in good condition. The finish is heavy, but it is certainly possible that wet sanding with 400/800 grit paper would yield an even smoother high-gloss finish. All of the chrome looks very good and the bed is fitted with polished oak flooring. Period-correct Coker wide-white radials are mounted on 15" painted steel wheels and Chevrolet dog-dish hubcaps complete the exterior package. The interior was totally restored with gray cloth upholstery that is every bit as classy as a late-model Silverado. The classic dashboard holds a 'factory gauge package' and the combination of roll-down windows and adjustable fender vents provides cool comfort. The detailed engine compartment houses a rebuilt (2013) 235ci six-cylinder engine that is said to have come from a mid-'50s Chevy truck. Conversion to this later model motor provides crankshaft insert bearings under oil pressure instead of the babbitt design used in the original 216ci motor. This 'stovebolt' runs like a Swiss watch. The original 4-speed manual transmission w/granny gear utilizes a floor-mounted shifter. The undercarriage is very clean, a new fuel tank has been installed and brakes are hydraulic drum units. The family has cared for this Chevy 3100 for over 70 years. If you act post-haste, it could be your turn next. The view from the drivers seat is pretty amazing - you will not be disappointed.
