For Sale: 1950 Chevrolet 3600 in Morgantown, Pennsylvania for sale in Morgantown, PA
Vehicle Description 1950 Chevrolet 3600 Pickup 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 beautifully restored example of the 1950 Chevrolet 3600 3/4 ton pickup.
Just beautifully appearing much like the showroom example that drove out into the world in 1950 with its well-done paint, solid body and freshly refinished bed floor.
Not only can you haul the goods, but you'll look great doing it! Exterior This curvaceous truck is bathed in Avocado Green on its straight steel rust free panels, and curving fenders.
Upfront a grille which curves to match the hood above is also painted avocado is sans chrome trimming on the horizontal bars.
Below is a chromed curved single bumper and a large Chevrolet badge which undulates around the rounded hood.
Single headlights on the front of rounded over bump out fenders, have orange turn signal lights mounted just below, and remember signal markers were mandated 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.
A few chips offs of the paint are noted and are located on the front end of the truck.
The bed has been freshly refinished in lustrous oak planking with bright stainless strips.
The taillights and a single chrome bumper hang from the sides and back on this truck.
Black wall tires are all around and have chromed moon caps in the centers of cream colored steel wheels.
Interior Saddle vinyl mixes with bronze colored metal for the doors, dash, and headliner.
A saddle bench seat, which has been recovered, stretches from door to door has no tears or holes.
The original metal sprayed dash showing little to no wear, also in bronze color, sports its dual round gauge cluster and speedometer in front of the big steering wheel.
A central horizontal ribbed speaker cover, inserted ashtray and passenger glove box, has a radio delete panel above, and a chrome Chevrolet badge band.
Black rubber covering and dirt free floors are seen as well as a sagging black cardboard headliner above.
Drivetrain Flipping the hood, we are greeted with a beautifully restored machine age blue painted engine which is a 216.
5ci inline 6 cylinder.
A 1-barrel carburetor sits below an oil bath air cleaner system, and a 3-speed manual transmission is on back sending power back to a rear axle weighing in with 4.
57 ratio.
Overall, the engine bay is mostly original, well detailed and taken care of but looking wonderfully used.
Undercarriage All coated with a light spray of surface rust, she's all structurally sound underneath.
Floorpans body hangers, rockers and frame are all coated with the light rust patina but are sound and looking good.
Newly finished planks of wood can be seen as the bed flooring from below, and leaf spring suspension is all around.
Drum brakes present on all 4 corners.
Drive-Ability A fine and nicely preserved working truck is always a pleasure to drive, as it has a certain charm that cannot be replicated by any new vehicle and that 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.
Back in the day a truck was a truck, and it drives like a truck did in the 1950's which is what makes it a classic.
Well restored and hard to miss with the Avocado paint and newer interior, she's ready for the next round, and leaving you with the ability to keep on trucking' and lookin' good! Let's go to work!
