This 1950 Chevrolet 3800 Flat Bed combines classic utility with modern upgrades. The two-tone paint scheme grabs attention - crisp white adorns the front while glossy black coats the custom flatbed. Riding high on 19.5-inch steel wheels wrapped in 225/70R19.5 rubber, this workhorse means business. The hydraulic tilt bed, operated by a dash switch, adds serious functionality. Dual mirrors, a Class III hitch, and black-painted grille, bumper, and running boards complete the no-nonsense .....
exterior.
Inside, practicality meets comfort. A contoured vinyl bench seat and custom door panels set the tone. The dash retains its vintage look while housing modern amenities like a retro-style radio and updated gauges. A Lokar floor shifter adds a performance touch, complemented by new carpeting. The original steering wheel pairs with a modern turn signal switch on the column. Air conditioning vents and controls tucked under the dash blend modern comfort with classic aesthetics.
A 283 cubic inch V8 engine powers this hauler, paired with a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission. The engine bay showcases a four-barrel Quadrajet carburetor, direct-drive fan, and cooling shroud. Dual exhaust with FlowMaster mufflers provides a muscular sound. While it keeps drum brakes, the addition of a new AC compressor with R134a refrigerant brings modern climate control. The solid rear axle with leaf springs and front I-beam suspension maintain the truck's rugged character and hauling capabilities.
