Looking to get behind the wheel of a thoroughly high-impact classic, but don't want to sacrifice drivability in the process? Then look no further than this 1948 Chevrolet 3100 5 Window Pickup. This absolute attention magnet exudes quality both inside and out, with a stellar silver exterior that's amplified by skillfully added contrasting flames using top quality House of Kolor paint, combined with a custom suspension that provides an outstanding ride. A tastefully lowered stance gives this vintage Chevy an aggressive air, and the way those painted flames fade from purple to orange against their glossy silver background must be experienced in person to be fully appreciated.
The accompanying interior is well-appointed and comfortable, with a leather bench seat at its center that's ready for many future miles of driving enjoyment and a burgundy painted dash free of any blemishes that might otherwise detract from its visual impact. Both the headliner and carpeting are in fine shape, and just beyond the aftermarket Chevrolet woodgrain steering wheel, a full complement of Pro Comp gauges sits inside the instrument cluster to keep tabs on vital motoring functions.
In addition to its high-voltage great looks, this Chevy happens to be a very solid driver. Its 350-cubic-inch V8 starts up easily and, fed by a Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor perched on an intake manifold by the same manufacturer, offers abundant power as it teams with a 3-speed automatic TH350 transmission. The added Mustang II front suspension brings a multitude of benefits, including smooth power rack and pinion steering, Carrera coilovers and enhanced adjustability, while the four-link rear suspension provides a more refined ride than you'll find in most vehicles from this era. The engine bay is nicely sorted, with several chrome components on board to add some eye candy, and an aluminum radiator up front that pairs with an electric fan to keep temperatures in check.
