This 1949 Chevrolet 3100 pick-up for sale is a real beauty dressed in patina and keeping that feeling of what counts is what’s on the inside. Powering this 3100 is a 350 cubic inch Vortec crate engine from Blueprint engines. Built when trucks were needed to be reliable and dependable for the everyday working man, this truck reigned supreme.

The aftermarket gauge cluster sits in the factory dash and gives you an idea of how simple these trucks really were when they were built while still housing every vital for the pickup.
