Owning a classic truck is about more than transportation, it is about owning a piece of history that draws smiles and starts conversations. This pickup blends timeless Chevrolet style with thoughtful upgrades that make it enjoyable to drive today while still standing proud at a show or cruise night. From its eye catching Tangelo Pearl Metallic finish to the custom wooden bed and tasteful chrome accents, it announces itself with presence. If you want a restored 1946 Chevrolet 3100 that combines classic looks with modern V8 performance, this one deserves a closer look today.
Step inside and you find a nicely executed custom interior that keeps the cabin simple and comfortable. Two tone gray vinyl bench seating presents well and the carpet, headliner, and door panels are in good condition. The painted dash features Autometer gauges for a clear, classic readout and a custom center console houses cupholders and power window switches. A Sony CD radio and tilt steering column add convenience and a tasteful period modern feel.
Under the hood sits a 350 cubic inch V8 with an Edelbrock intake and Edelbrock four barrel carburetor, paired to a three speed TH350 automatic transmission for smooth, confident cruising. Cooling is handled by a large aluminum radiator with an electric fan and a transmission cooler is frame mounted. Braking and handling have been upgraded to include power front disc brakes, power steering with rack and pinion assist, a Mustang II front suspension, and a Ford nine inch rear axle. Dual exhaust with Hushpower mufflers helps the engine sound as good as it performs.
