Vehicle Description
This 1952 Chevrolet 3100 has all the best vintage details,
including the 5-window cab. But this one is also made to be a great
modern cruiser with upgraded V8 power, an overdrive transmission,
upgraded suspension, and a custom interior.
We are told this truck has been with the same family in long-term
care. It includes a comprehensive restoration around 2008; the low
3,100-mile odometer is the mileage since completion. So it shows
the kind of respect that keeps the bright PPG red paint shining
nicely today. The body panels are straight, the window seals are
nice, and traditional brightwork on chrome bumpers, bezels, and the
iconic grille is bright and complete. So it has a nice quality
impression. Plus, there are great period-correct pieces, like the
windshield sunshade, running boards with step plates, and whitewall
tires. But there's more going on here. It has the forward-leaning
stance of a cruiser. And the LED light package is both helpful and
distinctly modern. The truck bed is upgraded with a steel floor and
a thick rubber mat. You can really start to see how this classic
was made to be a real driver-ready classic, and its usefulness
makes this one extra special.
The interior does a good job of mixing its vintage style with a
modern flair. For example, you still have classic pickup pieces
like the simpler door panel inserts and the art deco steel dash.
There's also a bench seat, but it's a new unit added within the
last year. And it has a split style that feels like two
well-bolstered modern buckets. There are more upgrades for added
comfort, like a modern heater, plush carpeting, and an AM/FM/CD
stereo with Bluetooth for modern driving music. And there's a
proper driver's truck setup with the three-spoke sports steering
wheel, a tilt column, and upgraded gauges with speedo and tach.
The engine bay looks stylish with the smooth red inner walls, and
the red lettering on the black valve covers even coordinates. At
the center is a 350 cubic-inch V8 heart. It inhales deeply with an
Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and exhales with added power and
authority as headers feed the dual exhaust. The truck is great for
all-around driving thanks to a fully upgraded cruiser setup. It
includes power steering, power brakes, front discs, and Mustang
II-style independent front end. And the upgrade to a 700R4
four-speed automatic transmission means this has highway-friendly
overdrive.
Complete with restoration photos, this custom build expertly mixes
the best of vintage and upgrades. So if you love an iconic 5-window
Chevy pickup with plenty of distinction, don't miss this deal. Call
