1950 Chevrolet 3100 5-Window Restomod Pickup

This 1950 Chevrolet 3100 5-Window Restomod Pickup pairs classic Advance-Design styling with modern drivability. A lifelong mechanic built it from a solid, rust-free Florida truck. He left the all-steel body in its well-earned patina and placed it on a 2000 Chevrolet Sonoma frame. Power comes from a rebuilt fuel-injected 350ci V8 backed by a rebuilt 4L60E overdrive automatic. With power steering, power brakes, cold A/C, and a renewed tan interior, you get vintage Chevrolet character on local drives, weekend outings, and highway trips.
