The massive upgrade in power is brought to a steady halt thanks to disc brakes on all 4 wheels. Other upgrades include the battery being relocated to the trunk to ensure better weight distribution.
Few classic trucks excite restomod builders like the Chevrolet 3100. Its major post-WWII redesign, durability, and Art Deco styling have made it one of the most sought-after foundations in the restomod world.

The example we are featuring here is also a "5-window" 1951 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod. With only 2486 miles on its odometer, this stunner is in Santa Ana, California. If you love making an entrance and packing the performance to back up the gusto, this 3100 will be an excellent choice.
