Vehicle Description
Chevrolet's prolific Advance Design trucks are timeless American
legends. So, how do you make a classic that's already as cool as
this 1951 3100 even more desirable? You start with a roster of
reliable resto-mod hardware that's wrapped in a crisp body, throw
in some modern comfort, and layer it all in striking street rod
swagger. Like your pick-ups both head-turning AND fun to drive?
This awesome stepside is just what the doctor ordered!
CERAMIC KOLOR KANDY
Fully sorted and ready to roll, this clean cruiser is the
beneficiary of a detailed, ground-up restoration that mixes
polished poise with proven athleticism. That build, completed by
the pros at Sugarloaf, Pennsylvania's Tony's Muscle Cars, was
carefully sealed in a charming coat of House Of Kolor Shimrin Apple
Red Kandy. That deep two-stage was lovingly coated in two-year
ceramic right here in the RKM Performance Center by our own
professional detailer. And today, this Chevy rolls as uniquely
familiar Americana that's easy to live with and even easier to look
at!
The exhibit kicks off with a polished bumper, which guards a
polished and white-trimmed grille between stainless-trimmed
headlights, a patriotic Chevrolet header and original front
fenders. An original hood, shaved of its side emblems, fronts a
filled cowl, which fronts an original, stainless-trimmed cab that's
cleared by polished wipers and reflected in bowtie-stamped mirrors.
Body-matched visors parallel a sculpted profile that's finished
with factory door handles and stylized locks. A massaged bed plants
a polished fuel filler amid bright wood and stainless skid strips.
And sleeved chains lower a factory tailgate over a custom roll pan
and custom Blue Dot Taillights.
POWER FOR MILES
Check this Chevy's smoothed and body matched engine bay and you'll
find 5.3 liters of proven GM small block that spins smooth
horsepower into miles of open-road reliability! At the front of
that spry LS mill, a remote filter funnels wind into a polished
tube, which fronts a factory GM throttle body. A factory intake,
peaked with a custom shroud, sends a finely tuned mixture of fuel
and air into sturdy 862 heads, which float attractive Chevrolet
valve covers under a polished oil cap. Those stock heads cap a
stock, factory-spec rotating assembly. A fluid serpentine drive
spins modern power steering under modern AC and a modern
alternator. Relocated coils fire loomed plug wires, which split
coated headers. And a big Champion radiator fronts a quick electric
puller fan.
ENJOY THE DRIVE
Slide under this rig and you'll find a solid, road ready chassis
that was swiped directly from a 1988 Chevy S-10. Those bones,
affixed through an American made Code 504 conversion kit, have been
completely sandblasted and coated in a striking combination of
Cortez Silver and Satin Black skin. Behind the five-three, a
dressed 4L60E 4-speed sends shifts through a tough 10-bolt axle
that cages 3.73 gears inside a posi-traction differential. Lucid
power steering leads a floor-mount brake booster, which cinches
body-matched calipers around a quartet of vented discs. The
aforementioned headers dump spent gases into custom, 2.5-inch
pipes, which hang an X-shaped crossover in front of rowdy Xlerator
Turbo Mufflers and polished stainless tips. And at the corners,
polished Billet Specialties Speedways spin 235/60R18 BF Goodrich
Advantage T/As in front of 255/55R18 BF Goodrich Advantage
T/As.
CUSTOM YET RETRO
Hop in the truck's tastefully upgraded cockpit and perch on
retrofitted buckets that wrap tight leather around power adjustment
for both passengers. A smoothed and customized dash hangs tasteful
Dolphin telemetry next to controls for modern air conditioning and
modern Dual audio that's equipped with standard Bluetooth. Premium
carpet frames custom door panels, a billet accelerator pedal and a
long Lokar shifter that's pointed at a custom headliner. And the
driver feels the road through a polished and half-wrapped steering
wheel that laps a polished, tilting column.
It's really no wonder Chevy trucks enjoy such huge popularity. With
time-tested strength, storied power and enough curb appeal to make
every day picturesque, they're the perfect combination of form and
function. Call, click or visit https://www.RKMotors.com to enjoy
