Chevrolet entered the truck market competitively in 1918 with the Series 490. The 490 was sold as a chassis only. Leaving the customer to create a truck cab and rear bed. Chevrolet also introduced a one -ton truck ironically called the Chevrolet Model T. It was considered the first purpose- built truck by an automobile manufacturer. It took until 1931 before Chevrolet started producing factory built complete trucks. Customer now could buy a truck compete with a cab and bed of their choice straight from the factory. This was the start of truck revolution which still exists today. Our 1951 Chevrolet 3100 Stake Bed is a great example of a long tradition American work horse. 1950- 1951 brought significant improvements such as telescopic shock absorbers, side vent windows and chrome window /door handles. Under the hood is a rebuilt 235 cubic inch inline 6 engine attached to a manual three-speed column shift transmission. The exterior is painted in handsome red paint accented with black...

Ever heard of Beatersville or the Rat Rod movement? A Rat Rod is a style of hot rod or custom car that, in most cases, imitates (or exaggerates) the early hot rods of the 1940s, 1950s, and early-1960s. The style is not to be confused with the somewhat closely related 'traditional' hot rod, which is an accurate re-creation or period-correct restoration of a hot rod from the same era. Most rat rods appear 'unfinished', regardless of their status. Beatersville is a special event held for these vehicles in the Louisville KY area. This 1951 Chevrolet 3100 5 Window Pickup is a great example of this movement. It has that rough exterior look that gives it that -work in progress- look. The faded black paint has just the right look with a few scratches here and there. The cab and truck bed are in very good shape. This truck does have new bumpers, grill, front and rear parking lights/turn signals. The bed has red cedar boards with metal strips. The diamond plate work box, in the bed, gives this truck the look of a vehicle that was used for daily duties, no trailer queen wanna be here! The cab and bed now...

Under the hood is a 350 cubic-inch V8, backed by a Muncie 4-speed manual transmission. Out back is the sought-after stepside bed lined with diamond plate, with plenty of room to throw a cooler and some lawn chairs in and take to shows. While it retains the classic and timeless exterior, this Chevy has been updated with several modern amenities that make it easy and fun to drive, like front disc brakes, and even a gps-powered speedometer for added accuracy. While it still wears its original sheetmetal, this Chevy was completely overhauled in 2010, which included having the engine completely rebuilt. This Chevy is the best of...

The 3100 series was redesigned in 1948 and included an adjustable bench seat to accommodate 3 passengers. The truck also became larger in almost all areas. Larger cab and glass for better visibility. Also the door hinges were concealed on the inside of the jamb. The truck also benefitted from relocated pedals and steering wheel for easier use than before.

This 1951 example has recently undergone a respray that included taking the truck down to bare metal and painting it in the period correct green you see it in today. Powering this old workhorse is a 235 CID inline 6 cylinder and a 3 speed manual transmission shifting through the gears via column mounted shifter. Having only 147 miles on the rebuilt engine, there is plenty of...
