Vehicle Description
This is a very cool vintage pickup that is going to let you choose
your own adventure. You can buy this affordable 1952 Chevrolet 3100
to use as a turnkey honest classic cruising pickup. But since these
Advance Design classic trucks are red hot tight now, it is also the
perfect candidate for any build, from a factory original, to hot
rod.
You're looking at pickup that will always have value and attract
attention in the vintage truck community. Chevrolet's "Advanced
Design" pickups one of the best looking old-school haulers around,
and they are absolutely iconic. After all, anytime some has a
mental image of going to an old school farm, one of these tough
icons is in the background. And this one is painted red like a
country barn. Plus, there are some great details. The black
bumpers, grille, and side steps almost create a cool two-tone
effect, and the whitewall tires with Chevrolet hub caps are a great
'50s touch. Plus, the wood bed has been replaced with steel, so
this classic is ready for chore duty.
Inside, the red and black theme continues in an almost time machine
like presentation. The only exception to this is the upgrade to a
cloth bench seat, which you'll appreciate on any warm day. Pickups
from the 1950s didn't come adorned with a long feature list, and
that actually adds to this 3100's charm. This is part of an era
where its heater was a valued feature because it gave you a chance
to warm up on your way home from working the day in the outdoors.
Those are the kinds of things you think about from this truck's big
airy and open cabin. You get to connect to a bygone era every time
you touch the nicely grooved factory steering wheel.
This one carries a period-correct 216 cubic-inch inline-six, but
those who know these Chevys instantly can see this one is extra
special. The fined tops of the head cover, intake, and carbs give
this a sporty appearance. And since it's an Offenhauser intake is
connected to the upgraded dual carb setup, you also get an extra
kick of performance. While this has a dual exhaust like a muscle
car, it only serves to amplify the fantastic old truck exhaust note
that chugs along like a freight train. For that added touch of
period-correct fun, the motor is mated to a smooth shifting,
three-speed column shift manual transmission.
In case you haven't noticed, we are already big fans of this truck
as it is. There's a huge amount of potential from mild to wild, but
until you decide its next chapter, this turnkey classic pickup will
provide you with plenty of smiles. Call now!!
