This Chevrolet 3100 Pick Up is an eye-catching and tastefully customised example of the sought-after classic American pick-up, offered from long-term ownership and enhanced with a number of discerning performance and cosmetic upgrades. Under the bonnet sits a naturally aspirated 283-cubic inch (4.6-litre) small-block V8, which sends its power to the rear wheels via a three-speed ‘GM10’ manual transmission with a manually operated Borg Warner overdrive unit. This Chevrolet 3100 was manufactured in Los Angeles, California, but was imported into Australia in 2013. It has been with the seller and reportedly third Australian owner for nine years. The odometer indicates 73,753 miles, though this is not warranted. This 3100 Pick Up is presented with an epoxy clear-coated bare metal finish with gloss-black bumpers, front grille, and trim elements, over a grey cabin, featuring contrasting white pin striping, black carpets, and a red leather-trimmed bench seat with diamond-quilted inserts. It rides on a set of 15-inch steel wheels finished in gloss-black, which are shod in Maxxis MA-1 whitewall tyres. Externally, this 3100 now features a debadged bonnet, and has been fitted with a custom wood pick-up bed, featuring a metal hard-case storage box. This example has been upgraded with a Hurst Indy shifter, a Mustang II-style independent front suspension system, front disc brakes, a custom triangulated 4-link rear suspension system, the chassis boxed and gusseted where necessary for strength, an air suspension system using a simple analogue ‘Four Play’ Aire Jax valve setup, a custom centre console with air suspension controls, toggle switches and gauges, a VDO column-mounted rev-counter, a skateboard wheel gear knob, and a Pioneer stereo with Bluetooth connectivity mounted in the glove box, as well as Pioneer speakers behind the bench seat and an under-seat subwoofer. The aftermarket 283-cubic inch small-block Chevrolet V8 features aluminium rocker covers with a K&N breather, as well as a K&N air filter with a three-spoke Dragway knock-off, custom copper pipework, an aluminium radiator, a Captain Morgan Spiced Rum bottle expansion tank, an MSD ignition system, and an aftermarket exhaust system. The truck comes with a service booklet from the seller’s ownership, a bottle jack, import papers, compliance paperwork, and some paperwork on the carburettor tuning and setup.
