Make no mistake, this 1950 3100 Chevy truck (216 engine) is not a ‘show’ truck—it’s been upgraded/enhanced greatly to be a daily driver! (although it could be turned into a show truck rather easily); it’s rugged, and has been used to haul dirt, lumber, furniture, new appliances, et al. over the past 8 years (that’s how long I’ve had it). It’s been garaged the vast majority of that time. It’s never been a daily driver, and has probably driven, on average, about 10 miles per month over the last 8 years. I don't know how many miles are on the engine (had new speedometer and odometer reading when I bought it), but I suspect it's not very much...maybe 20,000 tops. Tiny, quarter-sized rust in far right side of floorboard (not able to see it from outside of truck—floor mat covers it, as well); clean throughout, a blast to drive (probably have been asked 20 times a year if I was interested in selling it). The engine purrs, starts right up every time, in part due to the Pertronix electronic ignition I installed in the distributor. It’s just a great sounding engine. In fact, please visit the video on YouTube...it's a quick walk-through, but, more importantly, you can actually hear the engine.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tlhwrNFPbQ&feature=share_email FEATURES Upgraded to 12-volt system Air conditioning from Old Air Products (nice!), which was designed strictly for ’47-’54 Chevy trucks…fits snugly, unobtrusively under the dash as if factory installed. New trinary switch to protect A/C compressor in event A/C coolant/Freon gets low. Pertronix electronic ignition installed (never change points/condenser again), which greatly adds horsepower, and increases starting ability and fuel economy. New spark plug/Flamethrower coil wires.
