1949 Chevrolet 3100

1949 Chevrolet 3100 pickup truck is a high-quality build loaded with upgrades, and combines them with a modern V8 drivetrain, the result is a truck that cruises effortlessly at modern highway speeds, and still looks like a vintage machine that draws appreciative glances from everyone who sees it. Red is the ideal color for these trucks, and it was surely a familiar sight around farms and job sites in the 1950s, although we'll guess that none were as beautifully finished as this one. It's a fantastic blend of original panels and relatively recent paint that shines up beautifully without resorting to graphics or body mods to make a point. Fit and finish is quite good, with doors that close easily, a big clamshell hood that latches with a gentle push, and thoughtful touches like the small mirrors on the doors. The bed has new planks that contrast brilliantly with the red paint, while the chrome grille and bumpers give it a flashy look that's still traditional. Power comes from a 327 cubic inch V8 with double hump heads and only road 2800 miles. This modern powerplant gives this vintage hauler the ability to run with modern traffic. Like the rest of the truck, the engine bay is neatly finished and shows careful workmanship throughout. A Holley 4 barrel, which uses a long-runner intake to make great low-end torque, while headers manage the exhaust, breathing through a pair of stainless mufflers that give the truck a sound unlike anything on the road in 1949. The front suspension has rack-n-pinon steering, coil springs and disc brakes, and the result is a truck that drives like a modern car. Some pictures are prior to final restoration modifications, such as the door mirrors, rear left/right LED turn lamps or truck bed wood railings. -Vehicle is on consignment and at our clients home -Please Call First and talk to a rep at 231-468-2809 EXT 1 -Showroom is by appointment only Please Call -If you would like a FREE Listing please visit our consignment page or CallDoors: 2
