Restored to excellent condition in 2013, the 1952 Chevrolet 3100 pickup displays its black paint with remarkable clarity. Every body panel shows quality finish work, giving the truck a uniform appearance from front to back. An exterior sun visor shields the windshield, adding both function and period-correct style. The 15-inch aftermarket chrome wheels fit properly beneath the fenders, wrapped in P235/75R15 radial tires for improved roadholding. A fresh wood bed adds authentic detail to the rear, while all brightwork has been refreshed during restoration. The short bed design maintains original proportions while the overall look remains clean and direct.
Black vinyl covers the bench seat, offering straightforward comfort in traditional pickup style. The dashboard keeps its factory layout while adding helpful upgrades for modern use. Extra instrumentation includes a tachometer mounted on the steering column plus auxiliary gauges below the dash for monitoring engine conditions. The floor houses a Lokar shifter for easy gear selection. The original-style steering wheel features a comfortable wrap, connecting directly to the manual steering for authentic road feel. Seatbelts add safety to the otherwise period-correct cabin.
A 350 cubic inch V8 sits front and center, featuring a Holley 4-barrel carburetor for optimal fuel and air mixing. The engine bay shows attention to detail with clean, painted firewall and chrome valve covers. A 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission directs power to a later GM 12-bolt rear axle for improved durability. The dual exhaust system gives off an appropriate V8 sound. Power disc brakes handle stopping duties while the truck maintains its traditional character with leaf spring suspension both front and rear, supported by shock absorbers for better road control.
