1951 Chevrolet 3100

1951 Chevrolet 3100 Only minor metal repair at the cab corners were required to make it ready for a fresh 383 Stroker small block with 202 Camel Back Heads, a lopey cam, Edelbrock Performer intake and 750cfm electric choke carb, hot ignition, headers and a pair of fat dumps over the rear axle. This thing dynoed on the stand at 435 horspower!! Coupled to its 411 geared 9' Ford rear end, 33 spline posi straight axles and racing studs through a smooth shifting 700-r4 tranny with a 2100 stall converter this motor makes for a match made in stoplight drag heaven. Power disk brakes at all four corners haul it down without drama. Underpinned by all new suspension, including soft parts, tuned leafs and shackles, front shocks and rear air shocks that come in handy when hooking up to the Class C wired trailer hitch. Maybe that's why Big Len tucked a 49 gallon aluminum fuel cell under the bed? It is after all a pickup truck! The fact that the original straight axle leaf spring front end was retained gives this truck a throw back feel that loses little compared to a Camaro/Mustang front clip other than turning radius. The addition of power steering makes for effortless maneuverability on the beefy rubber wrapped around those gorgeous Torque Thrust wheels; a matched set of Falken Wildpeaks, 31x10.5/15 rear and 225-75/15 front.This truck aint all show however. It drives out excellent and sounds awesome. It will shred those 10.5 wide tires from a dead stop, chirp second gear for effect and cruise one fingered 80mph down the 51, ice cold AC blowing, no sweat. Lumpy's no rat racer around the corners but he is a rat rod you can drive everyday if so inclined. This stand out example needs nothing but your sound system. -Vehicle is on consignment and at our clients home -Please Call First and talk to a rep at 231-468-2809 EXT 1 -Showroom is by appointment only Please Call -If you would like a FREE Listing please visit our consignment page or CallDoors: 2
