Picked this up last month shipping as I type.





driving

1948 Chevrolet 3100 5 Window Truck for sale. All I can say is WOW! This is one clean truck! It is covered in Redline Red paint and has tan leather all over the interior. The engine is a 350CID Vortec V8 crate engine that only has about 600 miles on it. Hooked up to it is a 700R4 transmission that makes it a pleasure to drive. The drive train is completed with a GM 12 bolt rear end with 3.76 gears. This truck has been owned by the same people for the last 16 years, and they just completed going through the entire truck. In the last couple years, new parts include paint, running boards, rear fenders, front and rear bumpers, grill, splash aprons, 17" Boyd Coddington wheels, tires, Vintage Air and heat, two tone ultra leather interior, AM/FM/CD radio with a 900 watt amplifier, and all new smoke colored glass. Other options include a hard tonneau cover, power brakes, power steering, power windows, polished steering wheel with tilt, keyless entry, seat belts, and radial tires. You'd be hard pressed to find a nicer 5 window out there! It's ready for shows as it sits. Located in our St. Louis showroom.

Very nice indeed. I'm not supposed to like it as I have just bought a 56 Ford ( apparently it's in the rules....)

I've been looking at importing a 50s Truck for a while and finally I have a 53 Chevy on its way from CA.

Think I might move it on as now that I've looked around I reckon what I really fancy is a 51/52 Ford Pick Up

Wish I hadn't seen that website - I'm currently trying to figure how much a kidney will sell for!

Beautiful truck JL, waiting for it to arrive is going to seem like years!
