Original Owner's Manual

Texas Classic Cars of Dallas is proud to present this beautifully restored 1950 Chevrolet 3100 series light duty pickup truck. Chevrolet's Advanced Design trucks made many strides post-war in a prosperous, up-lifting time. This was the era where a pickup truck driver was a small business owner and working man.

You may need the owner's manual. We have the original one. This truck has spent the last two years in a private owner's garage. He purchased the truck from a gentleman in Missouri in its present condition. Prior to that gentleman's ownership, the truck was in an Arizona collection. Today, it is proudly displayed in Texas Classic Cars of Dallas' showroom.

This truck was built right. it has been disassembled and restored well. The paint is in very good condition as is the sheetmetal throughout.

The chrome is in excellent condition. The grille and bumpers are beautiful front to back.

You'll open the hood to find a jewel of an engine compartment. This engine bay was restored with attention to detail. The engine features a chromed valve cover and timing cover. The inner fenderwells, core support, and firewall sheetmetal has been finished to match the truck, in blue. All of the bolt heads and fasteners are bright and detailed. The body welting was replaced throughout. Many hours were spent on this one and it shows.

The 216.5 cubic inch Thriftmaster 6 received some upgrades for 1950, amounting to another 2 horsepower for 92 total. This is a very smooth running engine & gearbox. The engine was rebuilt by previous owner & transmission has been gone through, clutch replaced, etc. Be sure to play our video to see it start with the original foot starter pedal and cruise down the road.

Check out the external oil filter.

The oil bath air cleaner has a little extra detail done to it, as does the rest of this truck. The valve cover is chrome as is the timing cover. Again, the firewall and inner fenders are beautifully detailed to match the exterior.

Note the original door identification plate is in place in the door jamb.

Open the doors to 1950. The cab is in excellent condition, inside and out.

The dash is beautifully restored.

The dash displays the restored factory gauge cluster with functional gauges. The factory steering wheel is also retained. There is no power steering, but the truck is really not hard to drive. The 3-speed manual floor shift goes through the gears with ease. The brakes stop straight, upgraded to front disc's for safety sake.

The running boards are in excellent condition as are the door jambs, cab corners, weatherstrip, etc.

The vinyl seating and headliner insert is in very good condition throughout. The rubber mat and flooring is clean and detailed as well. The foot start pedal and emergency brake work as they should. One change from original is the AM/FM bowtie cassette stereo installed.

The doors are in excellent condition, both the metal and paint. The door panel inserts were replaced during the restoration with the same hard backing material the headliner is made of.

Just look at that reflection of the wood bed in the cab.

Here is a shine to be proud of.

The bed is in excellent condition as is the tailgate and inner bed sheetmetal throughout. The polished strips and wood show very well.

This stance is perfect. This '50 Chevrolet 3100 truck rides on the factory steel wheels, restored and color-keyed in blue. The Chevrolet wheel covers, beauty rings, and wide whitewall radial tires are the right choice for this pickup truck.

As always, many of this trucks photos were taken at the Dallas Love Field Frontiers of Flight Museum, located only minutes from our showroom. Be sure to visit our friends at the Flight Museum if you find yourself in Dallas, Texas.

The undercarriage further re-iterates the thorough restoration effort's completed on this '50 model. The underbody is in excellent condition, front to back. The engine & transmission are clean. The rear end and suspension show well and have been rebuilt. The spare tire/wheel is mounted in the back, under the bed. The exhaust system was replaced front to back, with a chromed deflector on the tip.

The under dash mounted vintage Chevrolet heater unit is working, as is the fan.

The fresh air vent opens and closes as it should.

Look closely, you'll see a tasteful pinstripe running across the cab line, just behind the hood.

This '50 Chevrolet 3100 Series is in good company here at Texas Classic Cars of Dallas.

GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes

Mon, 01 Oct 2012

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.

These are the 'Greenest' and 'Meanest' cars in 2015

Fri, Feb 6 2015

As has become tradition, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) has come up with a ranking of what it refers to as the "greenest" cars of 2015, and, by way of contrast, a list of the so-called "meanest" cars, so those who value eco-friendliness over all else can choose which vehicles they should or should not consider buying. As you may expect, electric cars make up the majority of the greenest cars on the list, but, perhaps surprisingly to many, the Tesla Model S didn't make the cut. It's worth noting, too, that where the electricity an owner uses to charge their electric vehicle has a big impact on its overall environmental impact. "A car that is charged using electricity generated from natural gas or renewables is going to have significantly less impact on the environment than one charged on a coal-heavy grid," says ACEEE lead vehicle analyst Shruti Vaidyanathan. The ACEEE's list for 2015 looks very different than it did in 2014. It's an interesting collection, though – and we're sure this goes without saying, really Â– we'd recommend doing a bit more research into each vehicle and how it might fit into your daily life before making any purchase decisions. Click here to see the ACEEE's list of the Greenest and Meanest vehicles sold in the United States in 2015.

Leaked GM document shows GMC Sierra I6 diesel is more powerful than F-150's

Thu, Oct 4 2018

GM told us earlier this year that the 2019 GMC Sierra would be getting a 3.0-liter I6 diesel option, but it never mentioned power or fuel economy figures. Hold the phone though, because a leaked GM Canada document just showed up online that lists out the details we've been waiting for. Originally published by TFL Truck, the 3.0-liter oil-burner supposedly makes 282 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque. For those who are counting, that's more than the Ford F-150's 250 horsepower and 440 pound-feet from its 3.0-liter diesel. It soundly bests the 240 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque from Ram's 3.0-liter diesel as well. Fuel economy is another story, though. The promotional material states that it will get 28 mpg on the highway, which is 2 mpg short of the F-150's 30 mpg — mind you, it's only capable of that magical 30 mpg figure in rear-wheel drive form. There's another caveat here, too; these are numbers for Canada, so they're not exactly finalized EPA figures. However, we wouldn't expect drastic differences between the two when the American numbers come out. The leaked documents also state the diesel Sierra will be capable of towing 7,800 pounds. That number seems remarkably low when compared to the F-150, which can tow up to 11,400 pounds with its diesel. Extra power and torque would have us assume that GM could get even better numbers than Ford, so we're going to hold our final judgment for official word. A 10-speed automatic will do the shifting on the diesel, just like on the 6.2-liter V8. Since the Chevy Silverado is also expected to get this engine, we can assume the figures would be almost, if not identical, to those we see here. We recently drove the 2019 Sierra and Silverado without the diesel engines, so go check those reviews out if you'd like to know more of our thoughts on the redesigned GM trucks. Related video:
