LS3-Powered 1949 Chevrolet 3100 5-Window Pickup

This 1949 Chevrolet 3100 is a distinctive five-window pickup truck, manufactured nearly seven decades ago in the United States. The vehicle hails from Antioch, California, and has undergone significant modifications during its ownership by the current seller, who acquired it in 2017. The standout feature of this classic truck is its LS3 engine swap, replacing the original power plant with a modern, powerful 6.2-liter V8 from Chevrolet's Corvette Z71. This heart transplant breathes new life into the old girl, now boasting around 430 horsepower, vastly enhancing her driving experience while retaining the charm of her vintage exterior. The truck has also been equipped with a TCI Engineering chassis and body panels have been replaced for restored structural integrity. Its emerald green paint job and gray leather interior give it a sleek, cohesive look that hints at its sophisticated powertrain upgrade. The original 1940s design is respected here, making this classic truck not just a piece of history but also an exciting modern driver.
