Description

Up for sale is my 1949 Chevrolet 3100 pickup with 15K trouble free miles on the original build. This truck started outas a clean west Texas truck that was sold by Modern Chevrolet in Lubbock, Tx. The truck was bought in 2014 from an older gentleman outside of Lubbock. The truckwas in its original formfor almost a year before it was disassembled and built it into the truck it is today. This is one of the cleanest Patina style trucks that I have ever ran across. Absolutely no metal work on this truck. Surface rust only.

Installed Newport 2-speed electric wipers w/intermittent option. New blades and arms. Both doors have been completely rebuilt and roll up and down smoothly. The door lock works with key. The interior was insulated with FAT MAT to keep the noise down and heat out. It is quiet inside for a 1949 model. Check all the truck vitals with the VHX Dakota Digital custom gauge overlay . It was designed based off of a aircraft instrument panel. Tells you all you want to know @ the push of a button or glance @ the instruments. The truck also has a Dakota Digital cruise control system that works flawlessly.The seat is a 88-98 Chevrolet bench seat which is covered in black vinyl and Porsche plaid material. Door panels also share the same material. Headliner was replaced with a vinyl one piece design. The inside of the cab/doors were stripped to bare metal and primed before being painted the black finish that you see today. The body was rewired with a brand new harness. Truck has LED parking lights and tail lights that look awesome at night. The bed floor is cabinet grade plywood, waterproofed with a teak oil finish applied for easy maintenance. Floor is fully removable to access the underside of the truck but has added supports strong enough to carry an engine in the bed if necessary.
