A Show-Stopping Blend of Heritage and Custom Craftsmanship: 1950 Chevrolet 3600 Pickup Commands $57,000 on Bring a Trailer

The Motive Archive team is proud to chronicle the successful sale of this exceptional 1950 Chevrolet 3600 5-Window Pickup, which found a new home for $57,000 on Bring a Trailer. Finished in a head-turning Copper Metallic over black leather and showing just 115 miles on its aftermarket odometer, this classic truck exemplifies the art of the restomod—melding mid-century American design with contemporary performance and comfort.

Originally assembled in St. Louis, this 3600 series pickup has been thoughtfully upgraded under previous ownership, transforming it into a true collector’s piece. Power comes from a robust 350ci V8 paired with a four-speed 700R4 automatic transmission and a 10-bolt rear axle, delivering reliable torque and highway-ready cruising. A Mustang II-style front suspension, rack-and-pinion power steering, and power-assisted disc brakes at all four corners ensure confident handling and stopping power—rare finds in a truck of this era.

The exterior’s Copper Metallic finish is complemented by chrome bumpers, a signature five-window cab, and staggered 18" and 20" American Racing wheels wrapped in Nitto NT555 G2 tires. Period-correct touches like the wood-plank cargo bed floor and curved rear quarter windows blend seamlessly with modern features such as power windows, Vintage Air climate control, and a JVC CD stereo system.

Inside, black leather upholstery with billet accents, a split bench seat, and updated instrumentation create an inviting cabin that respects the truck’s heritage while offering contemporary amenities. Under the hood, the 350ci V8 is dressed with Chevrolet valve covers, a black-finished air cleaner, tubular headers, and an aluminum radiator with electric cooling fan—ensuring both show-quality looks and reliable operation.

The sale of this 1950 Chevrolet 3600 underscores the enduring appeal of American trucks that combine vintage style with thoughtful, high-quality modifications. With strong bidding and a final price of $57,000, this restomod exemplifies a growing market trend: discerning collectors and enthusiasts are seeking classic trucks that deliver both nostalgia and modern-day usability.
