Vehicle Description
This 1950 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup Truck is a beautifully restored
pickup with tastefully done upgrades and southern history!
Chevrolet has had a long history producing pickup trucks dating all
the way back to 1918 when the GM marque first started to produce
its commercial line of trucks. After a brief hiatus due to the War
effort that halted production in the early to mid-40s, Chevrolet
began producing trucks again in full force in 1946 utilizing mostly
pre-war designs. In 1947, Chevrolet sold over a quarter million new
pickups and the public continued purchasing new Chevy trucks in
droves. 1948 marked the first major redesign of Chevy's truck line
and that style with was carried into the early 50s with only minor
incremental changes. This particular 1/2 Ton Pickup most recently
lived in the nice, dry southern climate and was well taken care of
under previous ownership. Under the hood on this '50 Chevy is an
upgraded Stovebolt 235 Cubic Inch Inline 6 Cylinder paired with a
single barrel carburetor. The "Thriftmaster" 235 Inline 6 is backed
by a 3 speed manual transmission that is shifted using a
"three-on-the-tree" column-mounted shifter. Upgraded front disc
brakes provide this '50 Chevy with more reliable braking and are a
welcome upgrade on any old car or truck. Another tasteful
reliability-oriented upgrade was done to the electrical system
which was upgraded from 6 volt to 12 volt, thereby providing for a
more reliable start up and use of the other electrical systems in
the truck. The steel box, wooden stakes, and wood bed are all in
fantastic shape and a diamond-plated tool box was added as well.
The chrome and brightwork around the exterior of this 1950
Chevrolet is in wonderful condition as well. The exterior has been
beautifully refinished in Swift Red paint that gives the truck a
stand-out exterior appearance. Riding on wide whitewall bias-ply
tires on painted steel rims with Chevrolet hubcaps and beauty
rings, this 1/2 Ton Pickup has a fantastic 50s look. The interior
on this pickup truck is absolutely stunning! The front bench seat
has been reupholstered in brown vinyl and matches the door handles.
The dash, door panels, and steering wheel all appear to be in
superb condition as well and all have a nice stock look. The dash
is equipped with an 80 MPH speedometer, battery gauge, oil pressure
gauge, temperature gauge, and gasoline gauge. A retro-style AM/FM
radio was added under previous ownership so that you can listen to
all of your tunes while cruising down the road. Another welcome
addition is the turn signal lever that was added as well. Whether
you're adding to your vintage truck collection or you are
purchasing you very first classic truck, this 1950 Chevrolet 3100
Pickup Truck would make an excellent choice. Give us a call
