1949 Chevy Thriftmaster 3100

Vehicle Overview

This 1949 Chevrolet 3100 Thriftmaster is finished in what we would describe as sage with silver/brown interior.

General Motors' first major redesign post-WWII, the Advanced Design 3100 series was billed as a bigger, stronger, and sleeker design. During this generation of trucks from 1947-1955, the Chevrolet trucks were #1 in sales.

This truck is powered by a 235 cubic inch inline 6 cylinder engine, 3 speed manual transmission (1st gear is a granny gear) and rear wheel drive. Upgraded to a 12V system.

The truck presents itself in excellent restored condition with attention to detail. The majority of the work was performed by a professional shop locally in 2013.

Interior is completely done, seats finished in leather. 

Over $30k in restoration receipts not including the paint and interior work.

- Front end redone including new tie rods and tie rod ends.
