Introducing “The Xmas Truck” - a 1949 Chevrolet 3100 3-Window Pickup.
This truck first joined our lineup as part of our holiday light display during the 2017 Christmas season. Since then, it’s gone through a full restoration process to bring new life to its classic charm.
Originally a 3600 long box, we shortened the frame to match the wheelbase of a 3100 bed for a more balanced and timeless look. Our customer chose to preserve as much of the original paint as possible, finishing it off with a matte clear coat to highlight its vintage character.
