1950 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod

Description

When you upgrade a 1950 Chevrolet 3100 to fuel-injected LS-based V8 power and give it a growling exhaust, you expect it to be as mean as this matte black machine. But then you also have features like a plusher interior, an upgraded suspension, and an overdrive transmission for a better cruiser. So look over all the detailed work because this truck deserves much attention.

These Chevy trucks have a true vintage style that's always fashionable. This timeless classic appearance includes a curvaceous hood, rounded cab, and two-piece windshield. And the glossy/premium oak wood in the truck bed and the way the newer panels line up so straight show investment in a quality restoration. But that's not what caught your attention first. Satin black is a perfect way to announce this truck's powerful and custom attitude to the streets. The striking look also comes from how it utilizes the paint on areas like the bumpers, grille, and mirrors to look like it wants to consume all the light around it. It's not too outrageous, but it certainly is not a sleeper. After all, they may have left the classic, smooth hubcaps, but it's not fooling anyone, thanks to the streetwise lowered stance.

Inside is a great classic truck feel with sturdy basic elements, like simple door panels, rugged rubber floor cover, and steel dash. But this one also knows how to give you the right added cruiser comforts. The bench seat is a later model unit with good contouring and soft velour. And the driving position is upgraded with a sports steering wheel, a tilt column, and better readouts.

The tidy 5.3-liter Vortec V8 is a fun upgrade under the hood. After all, it's a Chevy truck motor but one from many generations younger than this classic. So just like the rest of the truck, it's an upgrade that doesn't erase the classic style. This fuel-injected powerhouse makes this restomod a true cruiser. And there is the right surrounding upgrades for a great driver, including new wiring and an aluminum radiator to keep everything cool. Plus, we love the tune as the V8 sings into a newer set of rather straight dual exhaust pipes and mufflers. A true cruiser means a modern 4L60E four-speed automatic transmission built to handle the V8 power and provide overdrive comfort. And the full package also includes Mustang II independent front end with adjustable coilovers, a Positraction rear end, rack & pinion power steering, power brakes, and front discs for a tremendous any-time driving package.

This classic pickup has the look of a street machine and all the right investments to be an all-around fun driver. Nice custom builds like this never stay here long, so don't miss your chance. Call now!
