1951 Chevrolet 3100

Description

With the growing popularity of the classic pick-up truck segment, trucks like this 1951 Chevrolet 3100 are quickly finding their way to new owners. It's a vehicle that you can still enjoy that vintage swagger with, but also find some practicality and comfort as well.

Covering the curvaceous sheet metal is a brilliant burgundy paint job that lays down nicely on the panels and has a nice gloss under our showroom lights. It carries just enough flake to look like a modern paint job, but nothing that is too flashy or overdone. The chrome grill is clean, as well as the front and rear bumpers. Out back, the clean bed cover unbuttons to reveal a practical wood panel bed. It's a great look and you don't have to worry about scratching a glossy show finish back there, it's prepared to handle most hauling duties you're ready to throw at it. With chrome 15'' Torque Thrust wheels, it's a stylish package that will turn heads, but won't be one that the times outgrow because of some bright paint or wild flames.

Open the doors to a very clean and comfortable interior that features a bench seat out of a late model pick-up. It's covered in tan leather and features a middle section that folds down to provide a comfortable armrest, cup holders, and storage space. Behind that bench is a speaker panel with component speakers and subwoofers. The traditional dash is painted in the same burgundy finish as the exterior, it's accented with great looking chrome trim and hosts Stewart Warner gauges that measure speed, oil pressure, fuel level, water temps, and battery amperage. It's all wrapped in plush tan carpet and soft door panels covered in tan cloth, while an upgraded tilting steering column connects with the driver while they enjoy ice cold A/C and an AM/FM/CD player.

Lift the hood to an engine bay with a painted firewall and fenders that surround a well dressed 283 cubic inch V8. A chrome air cleaner, chrome alternator, and chrome valve covers handle aesthetics, while an Edelbrock carburetor, Edelbrock intake manifold, aftermarket headers, a Mallory ignition, and Mallory distributor takes care of air, fuel, and spark. Mated to an automatic TH350 3-speed transmission, that small block sends power to a 12 bolt rear end and sends exhaust fumes out a dual exhaust. The body weight is sprung through leaf springs at the front and rear with added power steering, and power front disc brakes maintaining control.

This '51 Chevy 3100 is a great pick-up to enjoy at your local cruise-in, make Saturday home improvement runs in, or just take the kids out for ice cream. It's an honest build that doesn't pretend to be anything it's not, just pure Americana. If you're ready for a well mannered classic pick-up, this is your opportunity. Call today!
