1951 Chevrolet 3100 Short Bed Pickup Original MN truck, We purchased this truck as part of a package deal this summer, and have since driven it about 500 miles to various cruise nights and shows. Its a great driver/ Runner. Exterior Body is in pretty good shape for its age. There are a few dings and dents through the truck, but minor. Has rust in the front Cab Mounts and Floor area as well as door Bottoms. Tailgate is rough but intact, Bed floor and sides are covered in Diamond Plate. Painted Hot Rod Black, with Green Accents. It shows well. Has 20" Chrome Wheels that are pited, but clean up decently. Brakes New Disc Brake Conversion on the front and Chevy Camaro Rear end with rear Drum brakes. Stops great. Suspension Original Suspension, that has been lowered, Gas shocks have been added to all 4 corners, rides like a truck. Driveline 70's 350 Engine and Trubo 350 Transmission combo, runs and drives nicely. Has highway gears in the rear so it does not scream down the highway. New Dual Exhaust that dumps in front of rear axle. Interior Has 70's non tilt locking steering column, as well as speedometer installed in the stock location and add on 3 gauge pod on left of steering column, Has carpet installed and Camaro style buckets, there is a floor shifter installed, and truck also has a stereo system that works. Truck needs some body work, but shows well and runs and drives great, have a kit that is included with sale to install Power steering from a 70's truck. A Few of the Pics show the truck with Boyd Wheels, but they have since been changed to the 20" wheels. $9,500.00 For an Additional $5,500.00 We will swap an S10 chassis under the truck and add a 700R4 Trans as well as lower the truck 4-5".
