This 1950 Chevrolet 3100 5-Window Pickup is a quintessential example of the “Advanced Design” era, fully restored to show-quality standards. Boasting a rich history as a California truck and benefiting from a professional body-off restoration, this pickup captures the iconic post-WWII aesthetic while offering reliable performance and tasteful modern touches.
The exterior is finished in a striking Burnt Orange paint that perfectly accentuates the lines of the 5-window cab, contrasted beautifully by Light Bronze running boards. The truck has been revitalized with all-new glass, polished brightwork, and a fully restored rear bed featuring high-quality wood flooring with stainless steel slats. It maintains a classic, period-correct stance on 16-inch black steel wheels with Chevrolet-inscribed chrome hubcaps.
Inside, the cabin maintains an authentic feel while integrating modern conveniences. The color palette coordinates with the exterior, featuring a Burnt Orange and Light Bronze finish. The interior includes a refreshed bench seat upholstered in black vinyl, updated instrumentation, a Bluetooth-capable stereo with Rockford Fosgate speakers, a USB port, and upgraded electric wipers.
Under the hood, the truck features a rebuilt Z-code 235ci Inline six-cylinder engine that runs exceptionally well. It is paired with a 4-speed manual transmission and has been updated to a reliable 12-volt electrical system featuring an alternator and PerTronix ignition coil. The undercarriage is equally clean, with the chassis and suspension components finished in a durable black coating.
