1951 CHEVROLET 3100 CUSTOM PICKUP

Details

This 1951 Chevrolet 3100 5-window pickup was custom-built by acclaimed builder Roger Burman, owner of Lakeside Rods and Rides out of Rockwell City, IA. It sits on a Chevy S10 frame fitted with new suspension that includes steering arms, 2-inch drop spindles, new 3-inch drop leaf springs, a rebuilt 4-wheel-drive S10 rear end and a new driveshaft. Power comes from an all-aluminum fuel-injected 6.0-liter LS engine mated to a 6L80E 6-speed automatic transmission. It features a CVF front-drive

system, LS3 manifolds, a new 2.5-inch exhaust and a new aluminum radiator with an electric fan. This custom pickup rides on Billet Specialties wheels wrapped in Nexen tires. The exterior is finished in Axalta Sage Green paint complemented by a wood bed with stainless-steel strips, all-new chrome and stainless trim, and smoke-tinted glass. Other custom touches include color-matched engine and radiator covers, a smoothed firewall and integrated gas filler in the rear fender. The custom Burgundy leather interior features a customized dashboard, Billet Specialties steering wheel, Dakota Digital gauges, a power port, double-DIN stereo with four speakers, Altman door latches and plush carpeting. Other modern conveniences include power steering, power disc brakes, air conditioning and heat, electric windows and a tilt steering wheel. This build was completed in October 2023 and has just over 200 test miles.
