Vehicle Description
We won't even pretend for a moment that is like any other pickup
you've seen before. This 1953 Chevrolet 3100 has left its workhorse
roots behind with all sorts of great features - from a big 454
fuel-injected V8, to its custom ground-hugging suspension. It was
not built to haul wood... It was built to burn rubber and turn
heads.
This Chevy just gets cooler the longer you look at it. Black might
be a timeless color, but the matte finish adds an instant
distinction. Plus, this great looking truck has a huge silver
chrome streak, with pieces like its wraparound bumper and legendary
five-bar grille that stands out like a pristine art deco
skyscraper. And we know you'll love taking this to car shows where
everyone thinks you've brought your grandfather's restored
pickup... and then you get to watch their jaws drop to the ground
at the same time you lower the air suspension right down to the
ground. In fact, to fit the larger wheels and other components
under the lowered suspension, the truck bed had to be raised. It's
a cool custom trick that most people won't notice right away
because they're too busy just marveling at the gorgeous real wood
bed and 15-inch wide whitewall tires with baby moon hubcaps.
Inside the black and white theme continues with a very original
presentation. After all, the bench seat, long dash, and spilt
windshield are all part of what make a vintage pickup great. But
then you start to notice a few nice upgrades. This includes the
more modern Chevy steering wheel mounted on a tilt column. Beyond
that is a set of updated, but vintage looking Stewart Warner
gauges, and the controls for the air ride suspension.
These 3100-series trucks only had a six-cylinder from the factory,
so you'll love lifting the hood and seeing a huge V8 upgrade.
Filling out nearly every inch of this engine bay, but looking very
at home is 454 cubic inches of big block power. More than just
displacement, you've got throttle body fuel injection and headers,
so this big motor also has great upgrades for dependability and
performance. Yup, this is a monster, and everyone will know it
thanks to the howling of the Flowmaster dual exhaust. This beast is
mated to a stout GM 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission. But if
you view it strictly as the ultimate hot rod truck, you're missing
the full picture. Remember that this 700R4 has a highway-friendly
overdrive. Plus, this one rides on a more comfortable Mustang
II-style front suspension and a Monte Carlo trailing arm rear.
Combine that with power steering and front disc brakes, and this
one-off truck is a true comfortable cruiser when you want to rack
up some leisure miles.
A slammed air ride stance, a mean V8, and a host of nice
upgrades... this classic Chevy really has it all. And it can all be
yours if you're quick enough to grab it. Call now!!
