Original Owner's Manual

Texas Classic Cars of Dallas is proud to present this beautifully restored 1950 Chevrolet 3100 series light duty pickup truck. Chevrolet's Advanced Design trucks made many strides post-war in a prosperous, up-lifting time. This was the era where a pickup truck driver was a small business owner and working man.

You may need the owner's manual. We have the original one. This truck has spent the last two years in a private owner's garage. He purchased the truck from a gentleman in Missouri in its present condition. Prior to that gentleman's ownership, the truck was in an Arizona collection. Today, it is proudly displayed in Texas Classic Cars of Dallas' showroom.

This truck was built right. it has been disassembled and restored well. The paint is in very good condition as is the sheetmetal throughout.

The chrome is in excellent condition. The grille and bumpers are beautiful front to back.

You'll open the hood to find a jewel of an engine compartment. This engine bay was restored with attention to detail. The engine features a chromed valve cover and timing cover. The inner fenderwells, core support, and firewall sheetmetal has been finished to match the truck, in blue. All of the bolt heads and fasteners are bright and detailed. The body welting was replaced throughout. Many hours were spent on this one and it shows.

The 216.5 cubic inch Thriftmaster 6 received some upgrades for 1950, amounting to another 2 horsepower for 92 total. This is a very smooth running engine & gearbox. The engine was rebuilt by previous owner & transmission has been gone through, clutch replaced, etc. Be sure to play our video to see it start with the original foot starter pedal and cruise down the road.

Check out the external oil filter.

The oil bath air cleaner has a little extra detail done to it, as does the rest of this truck. The valve cover is chrome as is the timing cover. Again, the firewall and inner fenders are beautifully detailed to match the exterior.

Note the original door identification plate is in place in the door jamb.

Open the doors to 1950. The cab is in excellent condition, inside and out.

The dash is beautifully restored.

The dash displays the restored factory gauge cluster with functional gauges. The factory steering wheel is also retained. There is no power steering, but the truck is really not hard to drive. The 3-speed manual floor shift goes through the gears with ease. The brakes stop straight, upgraded to front disc's for safety sake.

The running boards are in excellent condition as are the door jambs, cab corners, weatherstrip, etc.

The vinyl seating and headliner insert is in very good condition throughout. The rubber mat and flooring is clean and detailed as well. The foot start pedal and emergency brake work as they should. One change from original is the AM/FM bowtie cassette stereo installed.

The doors are in excellent condition, both the metal and paint. The door panel inserts were replaced during the restoration with the same hard backing material the headliner is made of.

Just look at that reflection of the wood bed in the cab.

Here is a shine to be proud of.

The bed is in excellent condition as is the tailgate and inner bed sheetmetal throughout. The polished strips and wood show very well.

This stance is perfect. This '50 Chevrolet 3100 truck rides on the factory steel wheels, restored and color-keyed in blue. The Chevrolet wheel covers, beauty rings, and wide whitewall radial tires are the right choice for this pickup truck.

As always, many of this trucks photos were taken at the Dallas Love Field Frontiers of Flight Museum, located only minutes from our showroom. Be sure to visit our friends at the Flight Museum if you find yourself in Dallas, Texas.

The undercarriage further re-iterates the thorough restoration effort's completed on this '50 model. The underbody is in excellent condition, front to back. The engine & transmission are clean. The rear end and suspension show well and have been rebuilt. The spare tire/wheel is mounted in the back, under the bed. The exhaust system was replaced front to back, with a chromed deflector on the tip.

The under dash mounted vintage Chevrolet heater unit is working, as is the fan.

The fresh air vent opens and closes as it should.

Look closely, you'll see a tasteful pinstripe running across the cab line, just behind the hood.

This '50 Chevrolet 3100 Series is in good company here at Texas Classic Cars of Dallas.

Amelia Island 2013: Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray from concepts to split windows

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

While this year marks 60 years of the Chevrolet Corvette, the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance focused on one of the coupe's most sought after models, the 1963 Sting Ray. General Motors design boss Ed Welburn was on hand to show off the all-new C7 Corvette, but even the hard-edged styling of the 2014 Stingray couldn't take away from the beautiful 1963 models sitting out on the field.
In addition to the original Sting Ray and the 1959 Sting Ray Concept, some of the other classic 'Vettes included "Big Tank" racecars, an interesting cutaway coupe, a right-hand-drive Z06 and the attention-grabbing 1963 Corvette Rondine by Pininfarina. Another impressive Corvette was the 1964 Corvette XP-819 rear-engine prototype. Owner Mike Yager had the car finished as a driving chassis for this year's show, but promises the car will be back to its original glory in time for next year's event.

Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner

Sat, 24 Aug 2013

For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"

How Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra will take on the Ford F-150 profit machine

Fri, Aug 10 2018

FORT WAYNE, Ind. — When General Motors engineers were developing the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks, some of them joined public tours of Ford's Dearborn, Mich., factory to watch aluminum-bodied F-Series trucks go down the assembly line. The redesign of the Ford F-Series trucks, launched in 2014, set a new standard for fuel economy and lightweight vehicle construction. But armed with stopwatches and trained eyes, the GM engineers believed they saw problems. "They had a real hard time getting those doors to fit," Tim Herrick, the executive chief engineer for GM truck programs, told Reuters. His team did more intelligence gathering. They bought and tore apart Ford F-Series doors sold as repair parts. Their conclusion: GM could cut weight in its trucks for a lower cost using doors made of a combination of aluminum and high-strength steel that could be thinner than standard steel, shaving off kilograms in the process. These pounds-and-pennies decisions will have major implications in the highest-stakes game going in Detroit: dominance in the world's most profitable vehicle market, the gasoline-fueled large pickup segment. What's more, GM is banking on strong sales of overhauled 2019 Silverados and GMC Sierras to fund its push into automated and electric vehicles Â— a business many investors see as the auto industry's long-term future. The risks are high given the hits automakers have taken from U.S. President Donald Trump's trade policies. Rising aluminum prices spurred by Trump's tariffs are driving up costs on the Ford's F-Series, while rising steel and aluminum prices likewise drag on GM results. GM also has a significant risk should the United States, Mexico and Canada fail to agree on a new NAFTA trade deal, given GM trucks built at its Silao, Mexico, factory could face a 25 percent tariff if NAFTA collapses. Major profit per truck Interviews with GM executives and a tour at its factory here in northwest Indiana provide a detailed look inside GM's plan for the most important vehicles in its global lineup. These big pickups are everything Tesla's Model 3 or Chevy's Bolt electric car is not. The mostly steel body is bolted to the truck's steel frame, rather than the one-piece body and frame electric vehicles. The majority of trucks will have a V-8 gasoline engine powering the rear wheels Â— like the classic GM cars of the 1950s. Some Silverados will have new four-cylinder engines, but there is no electric or hybrid offering as of now.
