It's no secret that Chevrolet builds some of the most celebrated trucks on the planet. From the AK era forward, every generation has found a solid following and, eventually, firm footing in the collector car world. Over the past few years, there has been plenty of vintage, ground-pounding bowties, and this sleek Amazing 1959 Chevy 3100 Pickup Restomod is just the latest in a series of sweet Task Force head turners. Mixing a massaged small block and modern GM 4-speed with bodywork that'll park well at any show, this road-ready warrior is worthy of EVERY Chevrolet fan's full attention. BODYWORK/TRIM Fully sorted and ready to roll, this super amazing 1959 Chevy 3100 Pickup Restomod is the beneficiary of a comprehensive, ground-up restoration that's set off by glossy black 2-stage. Under that high-quality pigment, an incredibly straight fuselage mixes solid panels with tasteful customization. That lovingly massaged profile features better-than-factory alignment that's seated in even planes and tight gaps. And it all adds up to one head-turning, blue-collar classic that virtually radiates Kustom, no-collar style! Naturally, this Amazing 1959 Chevy 3100 Pickup Restomod's ground-up rebuild included a roster of fresh bolt-ons. At the front of the truck's body, a familiar chrome grille hangs clear parking lamps between a polished bumper and stainless-trimmed halogen headlights. Behind that façade, a nosed hood leads the eye to a shaved cowl, which fronts a flush-fit windshield. That screen leads a tinted greenhouse, which seats 1-piece side windows under shaved drip rails. Beneath that glass, shaved fenders lead mirror-less doors and a traditional step-side bed that's fitted with custom rails. Between those rails, a custom tonneau shades a textured cargo hold, which centers a small fuel filler in front of a custom tailgate. And that tailgate sits pretty between a custom roll pan and stainless-trimmed LED taillights. ENGINE Pop the hood and you'll find a reliable, 350 cubic inch Chevrolet small block that's been polished, rebuilt and fitted with a choice array of aftermarket add-ons. Revs are created when a Metallic Silver air cleaner floats wind into an Edelbrock Performer RPM intake, by way of a coated Edelbrock carburetor. At the perimeter of that intake, Metallic Silver valve covers reflect coated block hugger headers. Behind those covers, a Delco-Remy HEI distributor shoots spark through loomed Standard Triple Silicone wires. At the front of those looms, traditional V-belts spin a polished alternator beside a Sanden AC compressor. At the front of those ancillaries, a beefy radiator plays well with an electric puller fan and a polished expansion tank. And, when it comes to aesthetic appeal, the monochromatic mill fits well inside the truck's massaged engine compartment. DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION Crawling under this old school bowtie reveals fresh floors and a lucid suspension that appear to have been consistently shielded from adverse weather. Behind the small block, a 700R4 4-speed twists a familiar 10-bolt axle. That torque is steered through traditional power steering. Quick stops are a cinch thanks to two power-assisted discs and two power-assisted drums. The aforementioned headers breathe through heat-wrapped downpipes, dual-chamber Flowmasters, and coated tailpipes. At the corners of the chassis, polished Coys wheels twist 215/45R18 Hankook Ventus V2s in front of 275/40R20 Hankook Ventus STs. And everything, from the truck's clean brake booster to its custom fuel tank, is well planned, well-executed and ready to work its magic! INTERIOR When you pop this pickup's doors, you'll find a stylish custom cockpit that's laced with the plush leather surfacing. Top dead center, cushy bucket seats appear to be 90s-era GM pieces. In front of those seats, a leather-wrapped dash founds bright Auto Meter telemetry on a polished bezel. At the base of that dash, a custom, leather-wrapped console centers modern Clarion audio between Vintage Air climate control and a proven Lokar shifter. That console rides vivid Daytona carpet, which floats color-keyed floor mats beneath billet foot pedal and integrated Kicker speakers. That carpet is capped by leather side panels, which frame billet handles, and a leather headliner, which frames a billet mirror. And in front of the driver, a polished and half-wrapped steering wheel laps a modern, tilting column. Perpetually cool and visually stunning, this awesome Chevy is a classic example of the skill and creativity that defines our hobby.
