Five windows of pure visibility give an unmatched view from behind the wheel of this 1949 Chevrolet 3100 pickup. Coated in vibrant red paint from front to back, including the stylish 15" wheels that sit perfectly under the fenders. Both the hood and tailgate feature custom louvers adding a touch of hot rod flair to the classic body lines. The P235/70R15 tires fill out the wheel wells nicely while upgraded headlights improve nighttime driving without sacrificing the authentic 40s look that made these trucks famous among collectors.
Sliding across the 70/30 split bench reveals a fully redone red and gray vinyl interior with diamond tuck upholstery for both style and comfort. A custom gauge surround houses clear VDO instruments for monitoring vital statistics. The floor-mounted highboy shifter puts gear selection right where you want it. Music comes through an AM/FM CD player with USB and AUX inputs plus Bluetooth for wireless streaming. The red and gray color scheme continues throughout, creating a unified look from dash to floor.
Mechanical upgrades abound starting with a 1978-79 Chevrolet 305 V8 for reliable power. A Carter AFB 4-barrel carburetor feeds the engine while a TH350 3-speed automatic transmission handles the shifting duties. Dual exhaust with FlowMaster mufflers produces a strong exhaust note. Power steering and power disc brakes up front make driving easier and safer. The updated chassis uses A-arm front suspension with coil springs and shocks, while trailing arms with coil springs manage the rear 10-bolt axle for a smooth ride.
