Vehicle Description
The 5 window Chevy 3100 truck is stored in our Aiken, SC
climate-controlled warehouse. The vehicle shown is owned,
maintained, and driven by us here at Car Cave. This vehicle has had
a complete concourse restoration with less than 350 miles since
completion.The five window Chevy, known as the deluxe cab, was
manufactured between 1947 and 1954. This eliminated the blind spots
in the rear quarter panels of the cab, allowing the driver to look
over his shoulder rather than putting his head out the window.The
truck is painted in a Dark Blue Pearl paint that is absolutely
breath taking. The interior is Dark Graphite with accents of 2
charcoal suede. The carpet is medium dark grey cut pile. The truck
has a wooden bed in ash that is stained with varathane Premium
Carbon Grey. The wheels are Torque Thrust II 20', that the spokes
were painted grey. The rubber on the ground is Goodyear Eagle F1
Asymmetrics Run Flats 245/40R20.The power is delivered by 235 Blue
Flame Chevy engine (built in 1958) with Holley Model 41 60, 390
cfm, 4 barrel carburetor. The head for the straight six is the
desirable 3836848 head (came on 1956-1962 engines) that get better
compression. This power is then mated to a TH400 three speed
automatic transmission. The shifter is on the floor and at first
glance seems to be a manual vehicle.This truck also has Vintage Air
(134A Refrigerant). The stereo is hidden in the glovebox so the
dash has a nice clean look. Power steering with a leather wrapped
tilt wheel is installed. The gas tank has been removed from behind
the bench seat and relocated to under the truck bed. Stealth pop up
gas cap is flush mounted with the driver's side rear fender. Tint
windows and VHX analog/digital gauges wrap up the interior. As said
before, this is the most breathtaking fully restored vehicle we
have seen at Car Cave. The restoration was at Carolina Rod Shop of
Piedmont, SC between 2017 and 2020
