Details

This custom 1950 Chevrolet 3100 5-window short-bed pickup has just undergone a complete frame-off, nut-and-bolt restoration. It's running a brand-new GM 350ci 8-cylinder crate engine with FiTech ram injection and billet serpentine belt drive backed by a brand-new TCI automatic transmission. It's equipped with dual 2.5-inch exhaust with stainless headers, and to keep it cool it is running a C&R radiator with fan and shroud. For suspension, the truck has all-new Heidts IFS up front with tubular A-arms and adjustable coilovers with a power rack & pinion steering unit. Out back is a triangular 4-link with coilover shocks as well. A set of power-assisted 4-wheel Wilwood disc brakes provides stopping power for the custom set of US Mags Heritage billet wheels with Federal true red line tires. The interior is finished in Chocolate upholstery with a custom-built bolstered seat with stainless cup holders, Classic Instrument gauges, tilt column, Bluetooth retro-style stereo and LS Fab billet speaker grille and glove box. Wiring is hidden for that clean firewall and overall great appearance. The pickup bed has been upgraded with a completely new Mar-K sheet metal bed with 2-inch raised floor, chain delete on the tailgate with a latch instead, and finished off with an oak wood with dark walnut stain and three coats of satin clear along with boltless fastener stainless strips. The fuel tank has been removed from inside the cab and a new Boyd EFI tank is under the with a flush-mounted fuel filler in the rear fender. The doors have been upgraded with Trique door latches. The pickup has all-new smoked glass with one-piece door glass and upgraded front windshield with divider bar deleted. It also has all-new rubber seals and fasteners. This pickup has been painted in Cornish Cream base coat/clear coat paint and features all-new chrome and brightwork.
