This episode of downshift, I take you on a journey of this restored 1949 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup. This truck has been in the family for over 60 years and passed down 2 generations to be restored to its original state from when they purchased it in 1955.
I'd like to thank Alex Damm for giving me the opportunity to tell both his story and the life of this truck. I would also like to thank his father, David Damm for everything he did on this project without him allt of the shots would not have been possible.

I'm fixing up my family's 1950 3100 too. Great project to work on with my dad. The last people to fix it up were my uncle and great grandpa. These things are family legacies that need to be cherished and held close.
Make sure you document the process to always look back at for your kids to enjoy the legacy.
Teary eyes guys. So beautiful !
Beautiful restoration of this classic Chevy 3100 truck. Love it.
Wow just wow kept the 6 .. and no hack jobs with LS bullshit ...just beautiful awesome video 👍👍👍👍👍👍😊😊
Thank you for watching the video.
Really sweet! Greetings from India.You have kept it original. That's great. Not like some people who make trucks look short. Like Rambo on Danny De Vito legs. It looks as if you have just taken delivery of it from the show room. I am sure it looked like this when your grandad bought it. He would be very happy. This is like a family member. In India we had right hand drive version of these and Ford trucks. Many were in service till the 1990s, when stronger pollution laws saw these go out. Many were fitted with Perkins and Kirloskar diesel engines during the 1974 oil crisis.
You're a very lucky man to do a truck like that it looks beautiful you've done a wonderful job and you kept it original that's the beautiful part
Wow my dream truck. Sweet
This truck has the old time beauty and charm that new trucks lack. Love that green. Take good care of your baby.
Beautiful Truck. I'm restoring a 48 Chevy 1/2 ton 5 window Truck with the original 216 c.i. 6 cylinder with three on the tree. I love the fact that you've kept your's original! Most of the 47 - 53 trucks that you see have had a 350 crate motor installed and a completely new drive train.
YES! THIS IS THE AMERICAN MACHINE.
Very nicely restored oldie. I like the fact that you left it as factory original. This chevy is one of my favourite pickup trucks.
Great job! My Dad loved cars and we always had some pretty nice, fast cars. When we lived in Hawaii, Mom drove a 1961 Cadillac El Dorado convertible, black with red leather interior and a white top. Dad drove a 1962 Oldsmobile Delta 88 convertible, gold with gold leather interior and a white top. Then, when we moved to Connecticut, Dad bought a 1969 Chevy Camaro, SS 396 white with black brow stripe and a black vinyl top. After that, he bought a really fun Triumph, GT6, dark blue with overdrive. Wish we still had any of those cars still, but they were fun while we had them! Great story and a great tribute to your family.
Beautiful truck! I have my grandfather's 52 3100 that's been in my family since he bought it in 55 so I can relate.
Very cool!
Nice truck, I have a 53 five window, just done on a green exactly like you're truck, this is a classic green and goes beautiful on this old chevy trucks. Keep it beautiful, good memories from your father!!!!
What a beautiful truck!! I used to own a 49 3100 advanced design. Miss the old thing terribly.
Great work! Restoring the truck in original form is commendable. I am not a fan of pimp my ride as most restorers do. This is true beauty. 👌
Beautiful truck! When I was very little, my dad had a 1950 Chevy 3100 5 window. Probably one of the rarest colors and combos of a pick up at that time. It was sitting in our garage for ages... a couple years later, we did a frame off restoration back to original. It looked EXACLY spot on like this truck afterwards. Later we sold it and I begged my dad not to. I’ve never seen that truck since😪😭
I’m in high school now, I’ve analyst wanted a 1950 Chevy 5 window since.
my grandpa purchased a 1948 chevy pick up in high school, he even took a girl to the sadie hawkins dance in it. we plan to start restoring it soon. I also plan on having it at my wedding one day too
Definitely make sure to document so you can look back at it
Good to see this video from the other side of earth ，you have our best blessings for your family and the nice truck!
Mega LIKE!
Mine is a 54 3100 and im working on it right now.
And its so much learning from tbe past, bringing it back to life and to the future generations!
Thanks for the inspiration to continue on.
Many blessings to all!
Wow. Cool truck. I could use this truck right about now. My gmc truck needs a new computer because of corrosion.
BEAUTIFUL HISTORY.
Amazing story,beautiful truck! Grandparents are so special and you have a part of them with you forever. Thnx for sharing, yes you are Blessed :)
Thanks for sharing. Really love the fact that you kept it original. Looks fantastic. The story really makes it. I own a 55 GMC 100 that came from Nevada. It's now in Ireland. Have no way of tracing the history unfortunately.
A very nice story. Thank you for sharing.
Very beautiful truck looks awesome will live on for many year, thanks for sharing...
That is one great truck. And a great story behind it. Thanks for sharing.
I bought one for $50.00 Canadian in 1970 and drove it for about a year till the transmission went out,Wish I had it now!.Same color as yours but faded. Great ride
The best thing about this whole ordeal in regards of you we storing your family own car is that you know had the by your own car or no car payment that should be a blessing for you in your new bride👍
Great story! I have a restored 1954, 3600 long bed. All stock inc. 6 volt.
Tube 1952 3/4 ton chevy fire truck
That's a beauty!
Bad ass truck👍🏻👍🏻
619 San Diego Definitely is. Thank you for watching
I did the bodywork on one. Wasn't mine, but it was a good thing to work on, you could still work the metal. Drive it daily, enjoy it, and when it needs rebuilt again, do it.
Great footage and story!
Footage was epic!
One which was in storage in a club in Pune, made its appearance in a vintage car rally early this year
Good job young man,
Nice,,,I'm building a 45 dodge pickup now myself,,, love the old trucks.
video footage was well done with b-roll and drone. Well done!
Very nice!
Absolutely Beautiful!
Amazing truck man great job welldone
You forgot the very important 6400 2 ton models.
👍👍👍 Original
Very nice. The box floor of course is completely incorrect but completely forgivable. I have a '49 1300 (many small detail differences but essentially the same truck). Did you change the final drive ratio?
Great truck. What type of transmission oil did you use on your original transmission?
Great video! Did you go clear or green tinted windows?
He worked on a resorvation.
Does anyone know the color that was used for the grey dash and steering wheel?
I’m restoring my ‘49
Color paint name?
Thx
Carlo from Italy 🇮🇹
Seacrest Green is the color name
Sanford & Son? 😎
Question: How come a 1949 Chevrolet with a 1947 Tag ? AND one of your before photos shows a column shift and you are driving a floor shift ?
They didnt issue new plates each year. Just a metal tag for the corner. He said he switched from column shift to floor shift in video.
The color makes me want to vomit other than that its a very beautiful truck!👍
I clicked on here to see the truck,, not hear your life story 👎👎👎👎
