For Sale at Auction: 1951 Chevrolet 3100 in Sioux Falls, South Dakota for sale in Sioux Falls, SD
Vehicle Description 1951 Chevrolet 3100 5 Window Pickup Truck VIN:
51JPK33189 216 Straight 6 Engine Manual Transmission Complete, Extensive Restoration in 2007-2010 with Periodic Updates Since Single Family Storied Ownership Since New Current Owners Acquired the Truck in 1958 As stated by the owner:
The Chevy 3100 pickup was purchased by my Uncle; George R.
Archibald in 1951.
He lived in Plymouth Utah and had a farm/ranch in Pocatello Valley south of Malad Idaho.
The purchase price was $951.
00, the original bill of sale is in documents.
It was a dark color /Farmers green.
I (Harold Archibald) started driving the pickup in 1952 at the young age of 8 yrs old.
During the summer and early fall at the ranch I wouldput it compound low, pull out the throttle, turn the key, slide down and hit the floor starter, scramble up in seat and off I'd go! Driving the edges of grain fields,I'd honk, yell and chase deer out of the fields.
Though I could not reach the brakes, stopping was acheived by turning off key! My parents moved from Plymouth, Utah in 1950 but I spent my summers with my Aunt Laverne and Uncle George until they sold the ranch/Farm in 1956 and moved to Sunnyside Road in Idaho Falls, They gave me the truck in 1958 when I was 14 and got a drivers license, I used the truck to go to work for Dr.
Phil H.
Graves, a veterinarian, and to the farm on Sunnyside to work the farm with Uncle George.
My Uncle George lost his arms in a hay bailer accident in 1959, so the truck became doubly important for Farm work, school and working for the Vet.
The truck was refinished the first time in July 1959.
It was painted metallic green, white walls were installed as were dual exhaust and a 2 barrel down draft carb.
The truck carried people for hay rides, pulling floats at High school, hunting, fishing and work.
It made a lot of trips to Island Park at the Railroad ranch where i did work with and for Dr.
Graves.
Dan Clark was the ranch manager for the Harrimans and liked my work withcows and calves.
It made a lot of trips to Swan Valley to the Touleffson'sBlack Angus ranch.
The truck was parked in 1962 at the Farm when I left for College and the Marine Corp PLC program.
I gave the title to my cousin George R.
Archibald Jr.
he was 16 yrs older than me and could use it for projects as he was working on building a summer home in Island Park, Idaho.
He was a nuclear engineer at the NRF facility.
I ended up working with him as a RAD con and CHEM tech to finish college.
The truck remained in Island Park/Idaho Falls until 2007.
The first complete frame off restoration was completed in 2010 by my cousin.
It was licensed as a classiccarrying the plates IDAHO 116.
He had it in a couple of shows but we agreed I could pay him for the restoration and his time when he was ready to turn it over to me.
.
I picked it up in 2014 and paid him as agreed and brought the truck to Fairfield, California.
I had to do about another $4000.
00 of work on it.
It was used to go to my Duck club in (Grizzly Island) /Suisun Marsh, parades, and Country club golf shows and show off in the driveway.
I gave it to my son 2/26/17 and he had it until 2019 when I re-acquired the truck.
It was brought back to Island Park, Idaho, some needed repairs were made and the truck was registered back in Idaho/Fremont county.
This beautiful truck is free of dents and scratches, is mechanically sound and runs good.
Consistent with trucks of the era, it is loud and the gearing of the transmission provides for a deliberate drive.
It is a 4 speed manual transmission, floor starter, no power steering, radio needs new tubes but turns on and makes loud noises.
The washer for windshield is disconnected and missing.
The truck has been upgraded with turn signals and seat belts for safety.
Interior is very nice and clean and presents in the original gray color.
Floor Mat is OK but should be replaced.
Car to be collected from Eagle, Idaho.
The Car has been consigned to the 4th Annual Intermountain Online Classic Car Auction.
