Vehicle Description
Plenty of custom attitude, well-placed upgrades, and good V8 power
all come together on this 1949 Chevrolet 3100 5 Window pickup. So
look over the details on a truck that takes a classic icon and
makes it fun for modern cruising.
We like the attitude this truck puts forward. The gray paint is a
more modern hue, and so it sets the tone for a pickup that has been
updated. It doesn't get fancy with the finish or chrome. It's there
to look bright and complete without ever making you worry about
every little stone in the road. You'd expect to pay plenty more to
get a 3100 five-window with a full street machine attitude. And so,
this one would need extra attention in the paint and panels to get
to the next level. While we like the true cruiser attitude, if you
need an Autorama kind of presentation, the price just means this is
the first time it can be within your reach, and now you can take
the time to make it even more personal. And no matter how you
choose to enjoy this Chevy, you can already see it has all the best
details around. The shaved door handles, diamond plate flush rear
pan, a matching metal truck bed, large dual exhaust tips, and
integrated blue dot tail lights are terrific details. Plus, you
just know you'll love pulling up everywhere with that cool stance
that comes from the lowered suspension and 18-inch Foose black
alloys.
The interior mixes a vintage presentation with the right upgrades.
So you get the classic dash and factory gauges. The seat is still a
bench style, but it was never done in this comfy cloth. Plus, there
are amenities like power windows and an upgraded AM/FM/cassette
stereo. Other upgrades prove this truck was made to be driven. You
have the wood and chrome sports steering wheel, a tilt steering
column, a tall Lokar shifter, SW gauges, and a dash-mounted tach.
And because this is a desirable five-window cab, it lets in more
light so you can see the complete package better.
Since this pickup has been upgraded for better cruising inside and
out, it's also great to see they gave it more power under the hood.
They brought this into Chevy's small block era with a 327
cubic-inch V8. While there are polished components to make this
look nice, your favorite upgrades will be all about the
performance. It has a Holley four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock
intake, and headers. The V8 fires up eagerly as it makes a sweet
tune from the dual exhaust. And because this one wants to hit the
road, you'll appreciate upgrades like the independent front end, a
three-speed automatic transmission, power brakes, front discs, and
rack & pinion power steering.
This is a five-window pickup with the right custom style for
terrific cruising today, and there's a ton of potential for
tomorrow. Call now!
