Lot #792 - This 1949 Chevrolet 3100 short-bed 5-window custom pickup has been recently restored and upgraded with a 5.3-liter 8-cylinder LS engine backed by a 4L60E automatic transmission. The truck uses air-ride suspension, which is controlled by a wireless handheld from airlift management. The pickup has independent front suspension, triangular 4-link rear suspension, power steering and power disc brakes. The truck has been painted in Medium Poly Metallic Green paint and features an all-new complete sheet metal bed from MAR-K with stake pocket delete and capped bed rails, as well as a new set of smooth running boards. The bed wood is curly maple that has been stained in Smoked Mocha with three coats of satin clear, finished off with boltless stainless bed strips and rear chain covers upholstered in plaid. The truck has one-piece door glass and all-new smoked glass and precision seals throughout. The outside door handles are true billet handles from LS Fab. The interior features a black bolstered seat with Highlander Avocado Green plaid inserts and cup holder, wrapped dash, Vintage Air heating and cooling system, tilt column with custom D-shaped steering wheel and Classic Instruments gauges. The fuel tank has been moved under the bed with an easy filler inside the bed. The pickup rolls on a custom set of U.S. Mags Bonneville billet wheels with a staggered stance. The wheels measure 18 inches up front and 20 inches in the rear and are wrapped with new tires.
