1949 Chevrolet 3100 5 window pick up for sale! Motorcar Classics is proud to present this 1949 Chevrolet 3100 5-Window Pickup, a fully restored and tastefully customized example finished in an imposing Mercedes G-Wagon matte black. Restored and updated from the frame up, this Chevy combines its iconic vintage presence with contemporary drivability, comfort, and dependability.
Originally treated to a complete frame-off restoration in 2013 and driven fewer than 1,300 miles since, this 3100 remains in exceptional condition throughout. The matte black finish delivers a purposeful, satin sheen that highlights the truck's timeless curves, accented by bright chrome trim, a five-slat grille, real wood bed planks, and tasteful two-piece wheel covers with whitewall tires. The desirable five-window cab and subtly lowered stance complete the look, lending this truck undeniable street presence.
Inside, the cabin blends vintage design with thoughtful upgrades. The black and silver interior features a comfortable, padded bench seat with integrated seatbelts, a tilt steering column with a classic banjo-style wheel, crisp Art Deco gauges, and modern touches such as cold air conditioning and an AM/FM/CD stereo with satellite compatibility. Every surface reflects the quality of the restoration and the attention to period-correct detail.
Under the hood, clean presentation meets capable performance. Power comes from a 307 cubic-inch Chevrolet V8, dressed with Edelbrock intake and four-barrel carburetor, performance headers, and polished components throughout. The engine remains cool and reliable thanks to an aluminum radiator with electric fan, while the 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive ensures relaxed cruising. The updated chassis includes a Camaro front clip, Firebird rear end, front disc brakes, power steering, and a thick sway barmaking this classic pickup as enjoyable to drive as it is to admire. Your inspection is invited!
