Half-ton Chevrolet pickups in 1950 received the fabled Chevrolet OHV straight-six as their powerplant.
For its application in the 3100, the engine displaced 216.5 cubic inches. It was fed by a single downdraft carburetor, had a compression ratio of 6.6:1 and was rated by the manufacturer at 92 horsepower. The engine in this 3100 matches theVIN tag and is therefore said to be original to the truck. Besides being converted to 12 volts, the engineâs mechanical rebuild also saw the road draft tube eliminated. A PCV valve was installed, which allows gases in the crankcase to be evacuated. A breather cap has been added to the rocker cover to prevent debris from inadvertently entering the engine.
An electrical cutoff switch was also added with the conversion to 12-volt electricals. A new fuel tank is now located behind the rear axle, and the filler tube was relocated to the rear fender on the driverâs side. The fuel lines, radiator, alternator, starter and distributor were all renewed or replaced. The column-shifted three-speed manual transmission was rebuilt at the same time as the engine and is said to change gears perfectly.Used 1950 Chevrolet 3100 150 miles, Red
