1950 Chevy 3100
Old farm trucks have become a blazingly hot commodity in the classic truck hobby over these past few years. Builders and fabricators alike have come to realize that these mild-mannered, barn-bred workhorses of our American “breadbasket” are ideal vehicles to enhance with a slew of top-of-the-line performance add-ons and modernized, bulletproof drivetrains. Without a doubt, this combination of American hot rod hedonism is a match made in pickup truckin’ heaven.
These rudimentary rides can still be found on the cheap, and for the most part possess sturdy bones, low miles, copious battle scars, and plenty of patina on the outside. Infusing them with suspension upgrades, creature comforts, and ample horsepower between the rails can be the ticket for creating that one-off dream truck, and a perfect way to build a nasty bedded hot rod to take on the local highways and byways with.
