1952 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup

For consignment, a 1952 Chevrolet 3100 pickup truck with a title verified 100,727 actual miles, although our consignor states less than 1,000 miles since restoration.  For every mile of this truck, $2.00 was spent on its restoration which included, among other things, a new frame, a new engine, and an EFI system to manage the fuel.  Now a fully functional, high end street rod build that's looking for a pampering new parent. 

Exterior
Garnet red on black fenders makes for a striking presentation, especially when enhanced with strips of body trim on the front fender in a unique configuration that makes this truck stand out from the crowd.  Its stance is classic street rod, hunkered down over 17-inch Cragar wheels and staggered size tires, giving the truck an aggressive profile that's also sleek, a word likely not used in '52 to describe the Chevy truck.  Bright contrast to the black is found in the broad crossmembers of the grille and robust front bumper and out back, it's a bumper and diminutive tail lights that provide some contrast.  The cab is perched on multiple posts as the five windows open up a greenhouse and the tall windshield provides light and visibility.  Stainless rails and flawless oak planks dress the bed with show worthy coverage and a single scuff on black paint is the only exterior imperfection.

Interior
Red vinyl door cards top glossy black paint on the inner doors for a tidy presentation while the front bench takes stitch patterned vinyl and surrounds it with black piping, all in very good condition.  We don't see a lot of red steering wheels, but this truck has one and it's as glossy as a wet piece of candy, in front a black painted dash with standard gauges and knobs bringing occupants right back to 1952.  Ivory switchgear on the AM radio helps too, over the center chrome grille and added A/C and heat system below.  Red loop carpet on the floor is also adorned with black piping and trim and is fantastically clean while a red vinyl headliner, stitched and riveted, tops off the cabin with perfection.  

Drivetrain
A shiny motor awaits as the 350ci V8 shines with chrome valve covers and other polished pieces, putting out 350 horsepower according to our consignor and fitted with an Edelbrock Pro EFI system to deliver fuel on demand.  A Tremec TKX 5-speed manual box sends power to a Moser 9" rear end with 3.25 gears and TracLoc.  Only the best for this build as power disc brakes are found front and rear. 

Undercarriage
Super clean is how we find the underside with no drips and no surface rust to speak of.  The dual exhaust runs from the headers to a pair of Xlerator mufflers, then around the 4 link and exiting via chrome tips under the truck.  That 4 link combines with coil overs to make the back suspension while coil overs are found up front.  

Drive-Ability
The red steering wheel will get your heart pumping and so will the 350 that starts with the turn of the key, no pumping the throttle needed.  The comfortable and airy cab is a nice place to be as we roll this truck around the loop where it delivers straight tracking, good handling, and very good acceleration on a solid platform.  All functions operated as they should and this truck gets an A+ from us!  While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase. 

This truck represents the cream of the crop and is a finely done machine.  It's got all the right ingredients to grace a collection or serve as the centerpiece of your prized possessions.  No expense was spared to get this truck just right and the paint alone reflects the commitment to excellence sought by our consignor.  The only thing left to do is turn the key and drive it home.
