1949 Chevrolet 3600

This 1949 Chevrolet 3600 is a three-quarter-ton, five-window pickup that was the recipient of a cosmetic refurbishment and rebuilt drivetrain, featuring an unmodified 216ci inline-six paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. A custom two-tone paint job was applied with a bronze cab and black-finished fenders and running boards, accented with brightwork for the bumpers and trim. Offering a color-matched dashboard with a reupholstered black vinyl interior, this 3600 is now offered with a clear Colorado title in the seller’s name.

Chevrolet’s “Advance Design” pickups launched in 1947 featuring a split front windshield, curved fenders, and running boards along with cargo-hauling light and medium-duty utility. This 1949 3600 received a custom paint job in bronze and black, accented by chrome-finished front and rear bumpers as well as stainless-steel trim for the window surrounds and other exterior elements. The wood planks and associated hardware in the bed were replaced, and a Chevrolet logo on the tailgate was applied in block lettering. The seller states that there is surface rust on some areas, as shown in the gallery.

Bronze-finished 15” wheels are mounted to Dayton Thorobred Steel 235/75-series tires that were replaced 100 miles ago.

The interior contains a reupholstered black vinyl bench seat, complemented by matching materials for the door panels and featuring a rubber floor covering. The dash was been color-matched to the exterior in bronze and offers a full-width bright trim with a push-button radio.

Instrumentation is provided by two circular gauges and includes an 80-mph speedometer and additional readouts for fuel level, voltage, oil pressure, and coolant temperature. The five-digit mechanical odometer reads 44k miles, although true mileage on the chassis is unknown.

The Thriftmaster 216ci inline-six was rebuilt 500 miles ago, receiving an oil change and lube in December 2020 and a battery replacement in May 2020. The seller states that the clutch needs to be replaced or serviced, and a wiper connector rod needs to be reattached. Power is directed to the rear wheels via a 4-speed manual transmission and a floor-mounted shift lever.
