1951 Chevrolet 3100 5 Window

Description

True vintage style, plenty of custom attitude, and proper V8 power all come together on this 1951 Chevrolet 3100 5-window. So look over the details on a pickup, including the bucket seat interior, upgraded suspension, and overdrive transmission that takes a classic icon and makes it fun for modern cruising.

The color on this one makes a good first impression. Black is always a confident color, and this one has a nice gloss in the sunshine. It does a great job of highlighting the curves that come on these pickups. We especially like the deleted hood trim that really showcases the unique look of the "alligator" hood. On top of this shine is gleaming brightwork with factory pieces like the bumpers and five-bar grille. Plus, the clean glass, good panel fit, and nice lumber in the bed makes for an overall impressive truck. But while this package has classic style, there are also the right upgrades. It includes the clear headlights that light your forward better and a gas filler in the bed to tell you the tank is in a better location. And those 15-inch American Racing Outlaw wheels with lowered stance are an instant symbol of an upgraded cruiser.

The desirable five-window cab means you also let in more light to this custom interior. The bench is gone and replaced with dual bucket seats finished in supple leather and a comfy velour. It sets the tone for a more comfortable cruiser, and that continues with upgrades like a center console, cup holders, cruise control, and a retro-style AM/FM/cassette stereo with aux input. You'll even find provisions for modern R134a air conditioning, but it will need servicing to function. Of course, what you'll really like is how this was built to be a driver's machine. You get a GT steering wheel on a tilt column, and that gives you a clear view of the Classic Instruments luminescent gauge cluster.

Under the hood is a 350 cubic-inch motor. It's larger than anything they ever offered in these 3100 series pickups, and so it's nice to display with the touches of added flair from the ribbed valve covers, polished air grabber, and more. It inhales deeper with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, and it exhales with a sweet tune from the dual exhaust. It's the right setup for a cruiser today, and we bet you know some easy weekend-install tuning components if you want to create a real blacktop burner. But we like the setup the way it is now. After all, the upgraded 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission has overdrive to let you enjoy this Chevy near or far in comfort. Plus, features like the tubular A-arm independent front end, power steering, power brakes, front discs, and wide tires give this an overall solid cruising attitude.

This is the fully-built custom pickup that was made for those who drive their classics. So if you want to turn heads on trips, call today!
