For Sale: 1950 Chevrolet 3100 in Morgantown, Pennsylvania for sale in Morgantown, PA
Vehicle Description 1950 Chevrolet 3100 1/2 Ton Advance-Design was a pickup truck series by Chevrolet, their first major redesign after WWII.
Its GMC counterpart was the GMC New Design.
It was billed as a larger, stronger, and sleeker design in comparison to the earlier AK Series.
First available on Saturday June 28, 1947, these trucks were sold with various minor changes over the years until March 25, 1955, when the Task Force Series trucks replaced the aging Advance-Design model.
For consignment, a turnkey truck that's ready to be enjoyed.
Taking the Advance-Design a few steps further with miles deep paint, and a clean wood lined bed but still retaining the majority of its underpinnings and mechanicals, I present to you, the 1950 Chevrolet 3100 1/2 ton pickup Exterior This curvaceous truck is bathed in Brandywine Red with it's straight steel rust free panels, and curving fenders.
Upfront a grille which curves to match the hood above is chromed and looking fine.
Below the grille is a black filler pan and chromed curved single bumper and a large Chevrolet badge above which undulates around the rounded hood.
Single headlights on the front of rounded over bump out fenders without signal markers, remember these were an option in 1950! The large hood rests up to the solid windshield with near perfect glass, and a nicely rounded over single door cab sits behind the hood.
Below this cab, and behind the front fender right at the rocker is a black metal running board/step up which extends into the rear pickup bed for access to the front of the bed.
Behind this is another nicely rounded fender which flanks either side of the straight steel bed.
The bed is lined with oak and stainless strips are installed between the planks.
Taillights and a single chrome bumper hang from the sides and back on this truck.
5 spoke highly polished wheels with Goodyear blackwall rubber are on all 4 corners and offset the paint beautifully.
Interior Black vinyl mixes with Brandywine metal for the doors, dash, and headliner.
A dyed black vinyl bench seat gives room for 3 but has dye flaking off particularly on the lower cushion showing the original blue underneath.
The original metal dash sports its dual round gauge cluster and speedometer in front of the big steering wheel.
A central Brandywine painted horizontal ribbed speaker cover has silver trimmings above and below with Chevrolet script on the upper piece.
Black dirt free carpet floods the floors and a black partial headliner hangs above.
Drivetrain Flipping the hood, we are greeted with a beautifully painted Brandywine engine bay and a gray painted block which is a 216ci inline 6-cylinder.
A shiny chrome valve covering is seen, and a 1-barrel carburetor sits below a small chrome air cleaner.
Bolted onto the back of the mill is a 3-speed manual transmission.
On the back is a rear differential with 4.
11 gearing.
Undercarriage Black paint covers the rear section of the frame, and the underside of the wood lined bed is just as nice as above.
Moving forward a heavy coating of black undercoating is sprayed on the flooring, rockers, and frame.
Towards the front of the frame near the front of the cab we note invasive rust in the framing that has been patched with spray foam and some sort of rubber.
We also note a few smaller invasive rust holes in the lower sections of the cab corners along with invasive rust in some of the body hangers.
Leaf spring suspension is on around along with drum brakes on all 4 corners to round out our tour of the undercarriage.
Drive-Ability A fine and nicely built truck is always a pleasure to drive and always brings a smile to my face.
This truck did not disappoint on the performance front with smooth acceleration, good easy shifting, and it got me down the road.
All functions were in working order save for the E-brake.
With the body and paint squared away and only a few shortcomings, mainly some undercarriage issues this is a great truck for someone to drive and enjoy.
Great styling from the Advance-Design, a period correct stock interior, and a reliable drivetrain will make you the envy of the neighborhood and the cruise ins.
