1950 Chevrolet 3100 5 Window Restomod

Description

When it comes to sleepers, the real fun is the surprised look on the faces of those unsuspecting onlookers who have grossly underestimated the true nature of the beast you are piloting. Such will be the fate of many who give this 1950 Chevrolet 3100 5-Window Restomd. Though it appears to be aged with patina, that was the goal with its full brown base colored repaint, which has only 192 miles of use since the truck was rebuilt. The only major hint that this truck is something special is its aggressively lowered stance courtesy of its Mustang II front and four-link rear airbag suspension. That setup hides the big glistening Billet Specialties wheels, which measure 18 inches up front and a full 20 inches in back shod in modern 245/45ZR-18 and 275/40ZR-20 rubber, respectively.

Inside, we find a beautiful custom interior complete with a modernized hybrid bucket/bench seating arrangement with an armrest, updated gauges, HVAC controls, steering wheel, and Lokar floor-mounted shifter. Redone door panels, matching dashboard, and Chevy insignia floormats round out this retro-modern vibe.

Under the hood, a contemporary 5.3-liter LS Vortec V-8 sits, completed with 862 heads, shorty headers, and finishing up with a trick side-exit exhaust built into each running board, just aft of the cab. That power is funneled through a 4L60E four-speed automatic transmission before heading off to a ten-bolt rear end and onto those huge rear meats waiting to grab as much tarmac as possible.

This 1950 Chevrolet 3100 5-Window Restomod sports an attractive short bed configuration that has been fully redone with a woodgrain bed to complement the old-school tailgate embossed with "Chevrolet" in all of its retro font glory. Along with the Midnight Auto Parts logo emblazoned on both doors, the tailgate sports the company's slogan, "We're working while you're sleeping," which is very apropos for a truck of this caliber since so much work went into making it into one of the best-looking sleepers around.
