I don’t know what anyone would use a truck like this anymore other than for car shows, and it would be a lot of work to restore all of the compartments and drawers and storage spaces hidden on the sides. My grandpa had Ford trucks but they always had a utility box on the back and I always wanted one. I love the look of that curved utility box on the back of this truck. The running boards look great and you can see the cab-mounted gas tank which was new for 1949.

The 4-speed manual is cool and for ’49 it was fully synchronized. The floors appear to be solid and the seller says that they’re mostly rust-free as is the whole truck. The seller does mention that the seat is in fact missing but the next owner should be able to track down a fixable seat in a junkyard or somewhere. And seatless, and there are some dash pieces missing as you can see. Check-in tomorrow for more Andy Griffith references! (crickets) (membership takes a nosedive)…
I know, that one was a Ford and over a decade newer, but it still reminds me of that episode. McBeevee episode of Andy Griffith when I see this truck. The seller says that this is a former telephone truck and I can’t help but think of the Mr. The 3100 series came in a few different configurations, including a pickup, canopy express, a Suburban, a panel truck, and also a cab and chassis version for utility companies to put their own specialized beds on the back. Overall, this truck looks like it’s in really straight and solid condition.
#Bird bell chevrolet drivers
Well, maybe 10% of drivers still do so that was an exaggeration. I love the fender-mounted turn signals and they really are historic since nobody has signaled a lane change since the early-1950s. The 1949 Chevrolet pickup wasn’t a lot different from the first year of the Advance Design series of trucks that came out in late-1947 for the 1948 model year. The seller has it posted here on craigslist in Corbett, Oregon and they’re asking $9,500 or best offer. This 1949 Chevrolet 3100 is a former telephone service truck and it would be fun to see it get restored.
Right after World War II, in late-1945, Chevrolet jumped back into making pickups again and two years later they introduced the Advance Design series of trucks.
