For Sale: 1950 Chevrolet 3600 in Morgantown, Pennsylvania

1950 Chevrolet 3600 Series Pickup

"Chevrolet trucks are America's favorite trucks. Last year's official registration figures show that Chevrolet trucks were preferred over the next two makes combined; the truck buyer's first choice in each and every one of the forty eight states. That's very convincing proof, don't you agree, that Chevrolet trucks do a better job and offer more value. And that's a very good reason for looking over the new Advance-Design trucks now at your Chevrolet dealers. You'll find a model to meet your needs, whatever your business may be." From a 1950 print ad.

For consignment, a 1950 Chevrolet 3600 Series pickup truck showing 103 miles, but the true miles are unknown due to a PA title exemption. Here we have an S10 chassis, a Mercedes turbo diesel, and an NV3500 transmission, coming together on a slick truck with a unique configuration.

Exterior
Satin Black covers the truck in single stage paint which is silky smooth and sinister all at the same time! The grille is black and any semblance of metal elements visually pop here including the badges, door handles, tailgate chains, and red painted 15-inch wheels with polished hubcaps and beauty rings. The fixed rear window overlooks a bed covered in a gray painted, channeled board. Halo projector headlights give the car a modern flair while outboard tail lights are small, cone shaped affairs perched on the top side of the tailgate frame. The truck hunkers low over the wheels and presents very nicely with minimal imperfections limited to scratches and rough surface on the front bumper.

Interior
Red inserts color the black steel doors, simple and clean. Inside, gray cloth covers the bench seat and also exhibits excellent condition. The wood rimmed 3 spoke steering wheel and two gauge dash present just as they did in 1950 but of course, the gauges have been upgraded, embedded within the satin black dash. The stamped Chevrolet in the dash is painted red over an AM/FM/CD radio suspended underneath, just behind the floor mounted shifter. Knit style charcoal carpet covers the floor and the squared transmission tunnel and a smooth, sectional vinyl headliner finishes the roof with carpet matching visors.

Drivetrain
And now for something completely different. Here's a Mercedes-Benz 3.0 liter turbo diesel inline five cylinder, fuel injected and rated at 123 horsepower. It's mated to an NV3500 5-speed transmission that routes power to the 10 bolt rear axle. Power brakes and power steering are on board and the truck runs on a 12 volt system. The bay presents in clean driver quality condition.

Undercarriage
Clean and dry conditions prevail underneath where uniform black is the dominant color on this more modern chassis with the plywood bed floor shining through. The single exhaust has no muffler and exits just right of center out back. Power disc brakes are in front and power drums in back and suspension is standard S10 with coil springs ahead and leaf springs behind.

Drive-Ability
The airy and clean cabin is a fine place to start our short journey around the test loop where this uniquely configured classic runs, drives, handles, and stops well. Other than the horn, all functions on this nice build operate as they should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.

If you're gonna roll coal, you might as well have a coal colored truck! And that's what we have here; the complete package. A � ton show truck that is rocking a turbo diesel. Wait until the guys at the show get a look at this one! An usual recipe that dishes out a great truck!
