1950 Chevrolet 3100
Again, the 1950 Chevrolet Truck line-up continued with the Advanced Design bodies from the previous year. On panels and canopy expresses, a new single-sheet plywood load floor replaced multiple-board construction for better dust sealing. A 216.5 cu. in. 6 cylinder engine with 92 hp and an improved Rochester B carburetor helped the Chevrolet pickup be #1 in sales. The ¾ ton trucks, as well as the 1 ton trucks, received the same Advanced Design styling but had a longer wheelbase and bed. Longer running boards were featured on the 3600 & 3800 series. Also available again were the 3700 Series (3/4 ton) and 3900 Series (1 ton) Dubl-Duti Forward Control Chassis Truck, however now they were equipped with the new “Loadmaster” six. The buyer still had the option to add their own truck body to the Dubl-Duti. Calendar year production for the 1949 Chevy Pickup totaled 494,573. Options included genuine leather seat trim, chrome radiator grill, long running boards and rear fenders, dual tail and stop lamps, oil bath air cleaner, heavy-duty clutch and various tire size options. Dealer accessories included a rod type radio antenna, locking gas cap, gasoline filter, outside air heater/defroster, matched horns, underhood lamp, non glare rearview mirror, hood ornament, windshield scraper, electric shaver, plus a tool kit bag and tools.1950 Chevrolet Pickup Production Numbers
