Description for Chevrolet Other Pickups 1951

We won't even pretend for a moment that is like any other pickup you've seen before. This 1951 Chevrolet 3100 has left its workhorse roots behind with all sorts of great features, rom a performance 383 motor, o custom suspension. It was not built to haul wood... It was built to burn rubber and turn heads.This pickup just gets cooler the longer you look at it. For example, ou'd expect the matte black paint to be lackluster, ut this one has a subtle shine that seems as aggressively elegant as a heavyweight boxer in a finely tailored suit. Plus, here's so much custom pinstriping that people will be hanging an inch from your fenders at every car show. This one even keeps its original iconic five-slat chrome grille, ut now it looks much more menacing slammed to the ground as part of a custom suspension. The wheels are playing into this industrial chic ruse, oo, ith the SS rims painted to look like old-style truck steelies, nd the whitewall tires are really modern Michelin rubber. But the best custom touch of all is the tailgate. The quote is not just an inspiring reason to buy this Chevy, ut it will also likely remind you to enjoy the nice weekend drives to the fullest.The bright red and black interior perfectly mixes original style with modern components. Probably the best example of this is the bench seat. It doesn't look too out of place for a 1950s vehicle, ut it has much more padding, nd is covered in leather, o give a much more comfortable experience than the standard pickup. This was built with the driver in mind, ncluding a Grant three-spoke steering wheel. Beyond that is a full set of Dolphin gauges, s well as a large SunPro tach mounted off the left side. But even the passengers won't go wanting, hanks to a modern AM/FM/CD stereo, nd cold-blowing air conditioning.If you weren't already running to come get this pickup, hat's under the hood will certainly get you (and this truck) moving. Filling out nearly every inch of this engine bay is a big 383 cubic-inch stroker motor, uilt by United Racing Engines. It includes performance components such as Holley 750 CFM carburetor, delbrock Air Gap intake, luminum racing heads, nd Crane performance camshaft. There are plenty more go-fast parts we could list, ut instead, e'll just cut to the chase and tell you it has a dyno proven 486 horsepower, nd 465 lb-ft of torque. Yup, his is a monster, nd everyone will know it thanks to the howling of the Flowmaster dual exhaust. This beast is mated to a stout GM 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission. But if you view this strictly as the ultimate hot rod truck, ou're missing the full picture. Remember that this 700R4 is an overdrive gearbox, nd this one rides on a more modern Chevy S10 chassis. Combine that with power steering, ruise control, nd front disc brakes, nd this one-off truck is a true comfortable restomod, hen you want to rack up some leisure miles. This is the pickup you'd build if you had the time, ut instead you can buy in for much less than it would cost to put it together by yourself. We'll even hand you the receipt book so you can prove this build was a labor of love. Don't wait, ool customs like this don't last in our showroom...call today!!
