1949 Chevrolet 3100

In 1949, A new pickup truck was hard to come by. The end of World War II had brought incredible pent up demand for consumer products which led to shortages as industry shifted from tanks and B-29s to washing machines, lawn mowers…and cars and trucks. - autorestorer.com

The textured patina on a vintage Chevrolet truck is hard to pass up. This 1949 Chevrolet 3100 pickup is the epitome of vintage patina, something that can never be perfectly matched with new paint. The well-worn finish and stance on this truck raises the eyes on every rat rodder and truck lover out there. Not quite a rat rod or a finished project for that matter but this Chevrolet 3100 has limitless potential for someone that wants to take on a project.

Although running and driving, this pickup does need some work to make it a reliable driver. Currently running a strong 350 cubic inch motor with a freshly rebuilt Edelbrock carburetor, power steering and power front disc brakes a lot of the work is done. The fuel tank has been moved from behind the bench seat to the bed, which provides room for the comfortable seating position allowed by the aftermarket split bench seat.

This 3100 pickup is running on 18” front and 20” rear Ridler wheels.
