Slick Vintage Chevy Truck: The Perfect Weekend Cruiser
This 1951 Chevy truck is like the Goldilocks of trucks — not too much, not too little, but just right.
Ask most classic truck enthusiasts what they look for in a good weekend cruiser, and the answers will probably overlap more than a little. First, it has to turn heads with a beautiful paint job and the right stance. It needs to have a little rumble and adequate power, yet nothing so crazy that it’ll rattle your teeth out. Throw in a comfy interior and you’re all set. This gorgeous 1951 Chevy truck checks all of those boxes and more.
We spotted the classy 3100 while perusing listings on the Classic Cars site. And if it stopped us cold in our tracks, you can bet it’ll do the same for every innocent bystander it passes. Much of that can be attributed to a super smooth exterior devoid of any unnecessary bits. All of which is covered in a stunning shade of Voodoo Blue bright enough to light up a dark alleyway.
Those fat fenders hug the ground thanks to a 2-inch drop and subframe upgrade. The suspension also tucks staggered 18 and 20-inch U.S. Mag wheels inside. The stance, quite simply, is perfect. Not too high, not too low. And it’s supplemented by an equally perfect interior, chock full of gray upholstery and billet upgrades.
The tried and true drivetrain combo of a 350 Chevy and TH350 tranny provides reliable power. It undoubtedly sounds good through headers and a dual exhaust. And throughout the rest of the truck, you’ll find every characteristic you’d want in a weekend cruiser. Power front disc brakes, power steering, and air conditioning round out the usable package.
So let those guys with ground scraping drops and wild 1,000+ hp engines tell you they drive their trucks on a daily basis. We guarantee you’ll have a much more enjoyable time in something like this essentially perfect 1951 Chevy truck.
