Zoom Classic Cars presents this 1950 Chevrolet 3100 5-Window
Restomod Pickup, Fuel-Injected 350 V8 with 4L60E Overdrive and
built on a Sonoma Chassis. Classic 1950s Chevrolet styling meets
modern drivability. Built by a lifelong mechanic, this distinctive
truck combines the timeless looks of Chevrolet's iconic
Advance-Design pickup with modern chassis engineering, a rebuilt
fuel-injected 350ci V8, an overdrive automatic transmission, and a
host of comfort and convenience upgrades. Originally a solid,
rust-free Florida truck, this Chevrolet retains its all-steel body
and unmistakable vintage character while benefiting from a
comprehensive mechanical transformation. The truck's body was
intentionally left with its existing patina creating the old-school
appearance that many traditional truck enthusiasts appreciate. The
result is a great-looking classic pickup that delivers the visual
appeal of a vintage Chevrolet with the practicality and drivability
of a much more modern vehicle. Power comes from a completely
rebuilt, fuel-injected 350ci Chevrolet V8 featuring a
four-bolt-main block. The engine was assembled with new components,
including a water pump, radiator, starter, and electric cooling
fan, providing a fresh mechanical foundation for this custom build.
The engine is paired with a newly rebuilt GM 4L60E four-speed
automatic transmission with overdrive. This combination delivers
familiar small-block Chevrolet performance with the added
convenience of automatic shifting and reduced engine RPM during
highway cruising. Rather than retaining the original vintage truck
chassis, the builder installed the body on a 2000 Chevrolet Sonoma
frame, bringing a more modern foundation to the project. The truck
is equipped with power steering, power brakes, front disc brakes,
rear drum brakes, and air conditioning that blows cold and heat. An
emergency brake is also fitted. The all-steel body panels are solid
throughout, reflecting the truck's rust-free Florida origins. The
intentionally preserved patina gives this Chevrolet an authentic,
well-earned vintage appearance without the overly restored look of
a freshly painted show truck. A new tailgate adds a fresh detail
while complementing the traditional styling. Additional
improvements include new glass and new rubber weather stripping.
The cargo bed features beautiful new cedar wood, providing a warm
contrast to the aged exterior finish and creating an attractive,
functional bed that suits the truck's traditional character. As an
added vintage touch, the battery has been relocated and is
conveniently installed within the vintage Coca Cola Cooler mounted
securely in the bed. The truck rides on black-painted Chevrolet
steel wheels fitted with new Hankook 225/75R15 tires at all four
corners, completing its understated, traditional pickup look.The
interior has been completely renewed in attractive tan upholstery,
including a two-tone cloth-and-vinyl bench seat, matching door
panels, and a new headliner. The cabin retains the straightforward
character of a classic Chevrolet pickup while incorporating modern
amenities for more comfortable driving. Features include new
Dolphin gauges, a complete wiring system, and heating and
ventilation controls sourced from a 1995 GMC pickup. An AM/FM
stereo with an auxiliary connection is discreetly mounted inside
the glovebox, while an additional USB charging port is installed
beneath the dashboard.Air conditioning adds another welcome
convenience, making this vintage-styled truck more enjoyable during
warmer weather and longer drives. The underside is very clean and
solid, with a fully painted frame and a 10-bolt rear axle assembly.
A full-size spare tire is mounted underneath the truck, and the
exhaust system features a single-exhaust configuration.The
combination of its modernized chassis, rebuilt drivetrain,
power-assisted steering and brakes, and updated electrical and
interior systems makes this a compelling alternative to a
traditional stock 1950 Chevrolet pickup. This custom-built 1950
Chevrolet 3100 5-Window Restomod offers a particularly appealing
blend of traditional truck styling and modern mechanical
convenience. Its preserved patina, solid all-steel body, cedar bed,
fuel-injected V8, overdrive automatic transmission, and updated
chassis make it an excellent choice for someone seeking a
distinctive vintage pickup to enjoy on local drives, weekend
outings, and highway trips. Currently stored in Massachusetts. The
truck is scheduled to be transported back to Florida at the end of
October 2026. Call Jeff for more information or to schedule a
viewing of this great custom-built Chevrolet Restomod pickup.Thanks
