Title: Chevrolet five window pickup 1951-images
Chevrolet hit the post-war road running in 1947, leaving competitors in its rearview mirror with a cab so wide, even your mother-in-law can ride comfortably! The 1951 model, the last to boast an 80 mph speedometer, offered engines ranging from a modest 216 cu in to a beastly 261 cu in V8. Choose between a four-speed manual or the basic three-speed, and enjoy the view through those fancy vent windows. Special thanks to Gateway classic cars for the eye candy!
Chevrolet was first off the line with a new post war design in May 1947–one full year before the competition. The new design offers superior visibility, with an 8 inch wider cab for more shoulder room and the truck is a foot longer overall than previously. The cab now has vent windows on each door and the 1951 model is the last year for the 80 mph speedometer. The engines available are a 216 cu in (3.5 L), a 235 cu in (3.9 L) and the 261 cu in (4.3 L) V8, There are two transmission choices-a four speed manual or the basic three speed manual.
