1952 Chevrolet 3100

Description

If you're looking for a vintage pickup that will stand out in a crowd, you'll definitely want to check out this 1952 Chevrolet 3100. It displays some impressive craftsmanship both inside and out, with all of it performed while still keeping this classic's identity very much intact. On top of that, this venerable Chevy sports a solid driving condition, so you'll be able to get out on the road and enjoy yourself just as soon as you get it home.

You'll notice its distinctive appearance right off the bat, but under closer inspection, you'll find that this 3100 represents a great balance between the conventional and unconventional. It wears a Lazer Blue color over most of its exterior - it's a timeless shade and a multi-stage detail would really bring out its best. The painted woodgrain accents over its running boards, visor and sides of the bed show a lot of depth, with a nice shine and a convincing 3D effect - the Chevrolet lettering on the nose of the hood and the lift gate is really something to behold. The Chevy trucks of this era featured prominent front grilles, with stacked horizontal bars positioned between the headlights, and the one on display here is in very clean condition. The body lines on this '52 also appear to be in good order as well.

There's plenty of creativity on display inside the doors with the same woodgrain theme covering most of the dash area and the door panels to each side, where they're accented by diamond plated panels surrounding door hardware that appears to have been recently added. A period correct steering wheel holds its place on the column, while just beyond it, the instrument cluster still has its original gauges and decorative chrome panel, under which sits a Kenwood AM/FM/CD stereo that teams with hidden speakers to fill the interior with sound. Take care of a few missing details - none of which will require much down time - and this interior will be transformed into a definite conversation piece. The bed area in back has been thoroughly refurbished and features well-prepped wooden planks and clean hardware lining its floor.

Beneath the hood, the engine compartment has been kept in largely stock configuration and sports some really nice detail work. The 235 cubic inch inline 6 inside carries the appropriate single barrel carb underneath an oil bath air cleaner which sits next to a very sharp blue Thrift Master valve cover. The vintage powerplant starts right up and teams with a 3-speed manual transmission to make up a period correct drivetrain that's functioning in good form. A number of components have been recently replaced for added reliability, including the alternator, wiring, hoses and fuel pump and below, the undercarriage appears to be in good shape. This one of a kind ride cruises on a set of 15" moon-style steel wheels outfitted with white wall radial tires.

This 1952 Chevrolet 3100 is a skillfully modified, distinctive truck that will definitely get noticed, and its solid running condition is a big plus. Call today!
