Vehicle Description
Advanced Design Chevy trucks seem to be one of the hottest vintage
pickups going because they combine an upright tough appearance with
some of the sleek lines that make other GM products iconic in the
'50s. So we're always excited to have a 1950 Chevrolet 3100
5-window truck like this one that perfectly blends old style with
new amenities.
This truck is going for a shiny first impression. The Green Pearl
paint has the kind of luster that comes from a modern clearcoat and
less than 2,700 miles on the carful total build. It also helps that
there was a great canvas to apply it. The super-straight sheetmetal
highlights some of the best elements of the exterior, like the
alligator hood, full-length step rails, and curvaceous fenders. But
the paint is only the beginning. Rivaling it for shine are the
mirror-like bumpers, complete trim, and the iconic five-slat grille
that looks like an Art Deco skyscraper. And this one announces its
custom work best with the large 22-inch American Racing alloys that
expertly tuck into the lowered suspension. In fact, you can even
see how the bed was customize to accommodate the new stance while
still keeping its pickup appeal.
Inside there's still hints of old school charm left in this
completely custom interior. The great green from the exterior
returns. Now it's joined by a tasteful tan on the custom bucket
seats, door panels, and center console with very handy cup holders.
From behind the Grant GT steering wheel you get a great view of all
the upgrades. You're going love looking at the large Jegs speedo
and tach that fit in the pickup's original dual pod layout, and the
SunPro auxiliary gauges just below it keep you informed with what's
going on under the hood. Plus, your right hand will probably never
leave the B&M sports shifter. But since this has a passenger
seat, there is plenty to keep you both happy, such as the upgrade
to an AM/FM/CD stereo with iPod hookup and the ice-cold R134a air
conditioning.
This Chevy has been all about being show-ready thus far, so you'll
be quite happy when you pop the hood. You might want to warn others
to grab their sunglasses before looking at your engine bay. That's
because not only is the inside painted the same metallic green, but
also the 350 cubic-inch small-block looks bold with its shiny air
topper and valve covers. And beyond the glamour is some serious
performance substance. The V8 has been upgraded with a Proform 650
CFM four-barrel carburetor, Pro Comp aluminum intake, AFR aluminum
heads, Proform ignition, and Hedman shorty headers. That last
component also contributes to the rumble of the dual side pipes
that exit just below your ears for maximum machismo. But more than
just pure power, this is also a thoughtful build. For example, the
Champion aluminum radiator with electric fan is there to keep this
classic running cool even if you're in traffic with the A/C
pumping. On the road, features like the three-speed automatic
transmission, power steering, and four-wheel disc brakes all keep
this classic feeling as good as a modern machine.
This is the unique and thorough build that will allow others to see
and hear you coming from a long way off. And once you get there, it
has all the right details to continue drawing a crowd. Who says
it's not easy being green? Call today!!!
