454-POWERED 1952 GMC 3100

OVERVIEW

This 1952 GMC 3100 has logged 5,258 miles since it was restored 20 years ago. It is powered by a 454cid V8 backed by a 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission. Features include a V-butt windshield, a wood bed floor, a tilt steering column, power steering, air conditioning, digital gauges, an independent front suspension, and power disc brakes. Finished in red over a tan and brown leather interior, this GMC pickup comes from the selling dealer with a clear title.

EXTERIOR – FEATURES

During the restoration completed 20 years ago, the body was finished in red. Features include chrome bumpers, a chrome grille, a V-butt windshield, a driver-side rearview mirror, a newer steel step-side pickup box and tailgate, a wood bed floor, and fiberglass rear fenders. The selling dealer states that flaws are present in the paint; those can be seen in the gallery to the right. A walk-around video is available below.

EXTERIOR - WHEELS AND TIRES

A set of 15” x 7” front and 15” x 8” rear Chevrolet Rally chrome wheels is wrapped in 235/60 Hankook radial tires.

INTERIOR – FEATURES

The cabin is furnished with a tan and brown leather bench seat surrounded by tan door panels and red trim. Features include manual windows, a later-model GMC steering wheel, a tilt steering column-mounted automatic transmission shifter, a vintage-look digital AM/FM radio, and air conditioning.

INTERIOR – GAUGES

A set of Dakota Digital red LCD gauges that includes a speedometer, an 8,000-rpm tachometer, and readouts for the fuel level, oil pressure, water temperature, and voltage are located ahead of the driver. The odometer reads 5,258 miles, which reflects the mileage accrued since the restoration was completed. The true mileage on this vehicle is unknown.
