Hubo un tiempo, cuando las camionetas pickup eran vehículos dignos, justo como cualquier otro tipo de automóvil y mucho más que una simple "herramienta" para llevar tu mercancía del punto A al punto B.
No estoy hablando de cómo estas son percibidas por sus fabricantes, sino de cómo son percibidas por sus usuarios...
Tal vez esto tiene que ver con la percepción de los asuntos del trabajo en contraste con la percepción de los asuntos del hogar / personales...
Déjame explicar ese punto, porque sé que no tendrá mucho sentido a primera vista...
La mayoría de ocasiones, el trabajo es percibido como algo que "debes" hacer, con el fin de conseguir el dinero que puedes usar para disfrutar el resto de aspectos de tu vida...
En otras palabras, tu trabajo es básicamente una obligación y tu cerebro no asocia deber con placer.
Ahora, las camionetas pickup fueron creadas como vehículos utilitarios, vehículos de trabajo y por esa misma razón, sus usuarios a duras penas tienen una "relación placentera" con sus máquinas, si saben lo que quiero decir...
Otra clase de automóviles como los sedanes, coupés, autos deportivos, station wagons, convertibles, roadsters, etc., son coches personales o familiares y por lo tanto, son bastante más apreciados por la mayoría de personas.
Date cuenta que mencioné una percepción común y muchas reglas tienen su excepción, porque algunas personas, como yo, somos hinchas leales de estos medios de transporte singulares...
Muchas cosas cambiaron después de la II Guerra Mundial y obviamente, la industria automotriz no fue ajena a este fenómeno global.
General Motors, por ejemplo, desarrolló una sucesora para la venerable línea de camionetas pickup AK, que sirvió este mercado por cerca de 6 años (bueno, incluyendo la "interrupción" de la II Guerra Mundial, desde luego).
En una era cuando los cambios notables en diseño, entre una generación o año y el siguiente, la Camioneta Pickup Chevrolet 3100 de 1950, parte de la generación de Diseño Avanzado (Advanced Design), fue un rediseño verdaderamente extensivo de una línea de camionetas pickup ya bien posicionada.
Este rediseño y reingeniería, involucró una plataforma versátil donde muchas partes de la carrocería eran intercambiables en las versiones pickup, Suburban, camioneta panel / de envíos y canopy express de este modelo.
En términos generales, este vehículo era más grande y más fuerte que los modelos pre-IIGM, el diseño de carrocería fue bastante simplificado, conservó la silueta curvilínea, pero luce más robusta y un poquitín menos lujosa que la versión AK ya mencionada (algunas personas diferirán conmigo en el último punto, pero es mi concepto como diseñador =PPPPP).
De hecho, esta línea o generación de camionetas pickup Chevy, ha sido una de las más exitosas hasta ahora y fue la número uno en ventas de 1947 a 1955 en los Estados Unidos.
Probablemente esa es la razón por la cual este modelo es inconfundible y altamente apreciado por coleccionistas y personalizadores por igual, a pesar de su producción masiva.
Hubo tres designaciones de acuerdo con su carga útil: 3100 (1/2 t), 3600 (3/4 t) y 3800 (1 t), cambiadas por HP, HR y HS respectivamente para 1950.
Tres trenes de potencia estuvieron disponibles para este vehículo: motores de 216 pulgadas cúbicas, 3.5 L; uno de 235 pulgadas cúbicas, 3.9 L y uno de 261 cu in, 4.3 L, todos ellos con una configuración de 6 En Línea y acoplados ya sea a una transmisión manual de 3 ó 4 velocidades, o a una transmisión automática Hydramatic (la última solo disponible para 1954 / 55).
Esta es la clase de modelos de camionetas pickup que asocias más con placer que con trabajo, especialmente si eres uno de los orgullosos dueños de una de ellas, en condición pristina, ¿estás de acuerdo?...
Paso a paso, estoy expandiendo mi cuota de réplicas a escala de camionetas pickup, no ha sido una tarea fácil ni barata, pero el reto ha arrojado resultados grandiosos y estoy agradecido con mis amigos y colegas coleccionistas, por su valiosa ayuda.
Esta vez traje otro ejemplo hecho por Hot Wheels, que fue apodado "La Troca" y no Camioneta Pickup Chevrolet 3100 de 1950 como debería ser, probablemente con el fin de evitar el pago de una licencia, pero también porque recuerda una expresión de la cultura mexicana en los Estados Unidos.
El molde fue diseñado por Phil Rielhman, uno de los más famosos diseñadores de diecast de la vieja guardia en HW y lanzado en 2001 para la Serie First Editions.
Su trabajo en el modelo es fabuloso, la proporción está bastante bien y el nivel de detalle también, debo decir que fue incluso mejor que el molde relacionado de la Chevy Truck del 52 (publicada aquí), hecha por la otra leyenda en esta compañía: Larry Woods.
A diferencia de la versión de Woods, esta tiene una visera cubriendo el parabrisas y las luces delanteras, bómper frontal, cubiertas diferentes para las ruedas traseras, un agradable logo de Hot Wheels moldeado en la portezuela trasera y parece un poquitín más ancha, todas ellas adiciones bienvenidas.
Conseguí dos versiones de este modelo y justo como en otros casos, me gustaría conseguir más, pero mi presupuesto es limitado.
La primera pertenece a la Serie Cruisin’ America - Lowriders, una línea Adulta hecha exclusivamente para Wal-Mart; presenta carrocería en diecast con chasis en plástico dorado, carece de interiores, las ventanas son negras, el trabajo de pintura fue hecho en verde manzana metalizado, decoración exuberante con llamas en degradé de verde lima a negro, ruedas multiparte Real Riders con rimes Deep Dish dorados y llantas labradas en caucho, además fue hecha en Tailandia.
La última pertenece a la Serie Pride Rides, una línea Regular, presenta carrocería en diecast con chasis en plástico cromado, sin interiores, ventanas negras, lindo trabajo de pintura en azul medio satinado, inspirada decoración de Mike’s 8 Rod & Custom en blanco, amarillo, rojo y negro, tribales sobre el capó y los guardabarros, ruedas plásticas con diseño 5 Spoke en cromado y fue hecha China.
Gal 3:5-9 "AQUEL, pues, que os suministra el Espíritu, y hace maravillas entre vosotros, ¿lo hace por las obras de la ley, o por el oír con fe? Así Abraham creyó a DIOS, y le fue contado por justicia. Sabed, por tanto, que los que son de fe, éstos son hijos de Abraham. Y la Escritura, previendo que DIOS había de justificar por la fe a los gentiles, dio de antemano la buena nueva a Abraham, diciendo: en tí serán benditas todas las naciones. De modo que los de la fe son bendecidos con el creyente Abraham."
ENGLISH There was a time, when pickup trucks were dignified vehicles, just like any other type of automobile and much more than a simple "tool" to carry your goods from point A to point B. I’m not talking about how these are perceived by their manufacturers, but about how these are perceived by their users...
Maybe it has to do with the perception of the work matters in contrast with the perception of the home/personal matters...
Let me explain that point, because I know it will not make much sense at first sight...
Most times, the work is perceived as something you "must" do, in order to get the money you can use to enjoy the rest of aspects in your life...
In other words, your work is basically an obligation and your brain doesn’t associate duty with pleasure.
Now, the pickup trucks were created as utilitarian vehicles, working vehicles and for that very reason, their users hardly have a "pleasant relationship" with their machines, if you know what I mean...
Other kind of automobiles, like the sedans, coupes, sport cars, station wagons, convertibles, roadsters, etc are personal or family cars and hence, are quite more appreciated by most people.
Do notice that I mentioned a common perception and many rules have their exception, because some people, like me, are loyal supporters of these singular means of transportation...
Many things changed after the World War II and obviously, the automotive industry was no stranger to this global phenomenon.
General Motors, for instance, developed a successor for the venerable AK pickup trucks line, which served this market for about 6 years (well, including the "gap" of the World War II, of course).
In an era when the noticeable changes in design between a generation or a year and the next, the 1950 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup Truck, part of the Advance Design generation, was a truly extensive redesign of an already well positioned pickup trucks line.
This redesign and reengineering, involved a versatile platform where many body parts were interchangeable in the pickup, Suburban, panel / delivery truck and canopy express versions of this model.
In general terms, this vehicle was bigger and stronger than the pre-WWII models, the body design was quite simplified, it preserved the curvy shape, but looks sturdier and a tad less luxurious than the AK version already mentioned (some people will differ with me in the last point, but is my concept as designer =PPPPP).
In fact, this line or generation of Chevy pickup trucks, has been one of the most successful so far and was the number one in sales from 1947 to 1955 in the United States.
Probably that’s the reason whereby this model is unmistakable and highly appreciated by collectors and customizer equally, despite its massive production.
There were three designations according to its payload: 3100 (1/2 ton), 3600 (3/4 ton) and 3800 (1 ton), changed by HP, HR and HS respectively for 1950.
Three powertrains were available for this vehicle: a 216 cu in, 3.5 L; a 235 cu in, 3.9 L and a 261 cu in, 4.3 L engines, all of them with an Inline 6 configuration and coupled either to a 3 or 4 speed manual transmission, or to a Hydramatic automatic transmission (the latter only available for 1954/55).
This is the kind of pickup truck models that you associate more with pleasure than with work, specially if you’re the proud owner of one of them, in pristine condition, do you agree?...
Step by step, Ii’m expanding my share of pickup trucks scale replicas, it has not been an easy or inexpensive task, but the challenge has yielded great results and I’m grateful with my friends and fellow collectors, for their valuable help.
This time I brought another sample made by Hot Wheels, which was dubbed "La Troca" and not 1950 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup Truck as it should be, probably in order to avoid a license payment, but also because it reminds an expression of the mexican culture in the United States.
The cast was designed by Phil Rielhman, one of the most famous old school diecast designers in HW and released in 2001 for the First Editions Series.
His work on the model is fabulous, the proportion is pretty fine and the level of detail too, I must say that it was better than in the related ’52 Chevy Truck casting (published here), made by the other legend of this company: Larry Woods.
Unlike the Woods’ version, this one has a visor covering the windshield and the headlights, front bumper, different covers for the rear wheels, a nice Hot Wheels logo molded on the tailgate and it seems a bit wider, all of them welcome additions.
I got two versions of this model and just like in other cases, I would like to get more, but my budget is limited.
The first one belongs to the Cruisin’ America - Lowriders Series, and Adult line made exclusively for Wal-Mart; it features diecast body with golden plastic chassis, it lacks of interiors, the windows are black, the paint job was made in metallic apple green, luxuriant decoration with flames in gradient from lime green to black, multipart Real Riders wheels with golden Deep Dish rims and styled rubber tires, also it was made in Thailand.
The last one belongs to the Pride Rides Series, a Regular line, features diecast body with plastic chrome chassis, no interiors, black windows, nice paint job in satin medium blue, inspired decoration of Mike’s 8 Rod & Custom in white, yellow, red and black, tribals on the hood and fenders, plastic wheels with 5 Spoke rim design in chrome and it was made in China.
Gal 3:5-9 "HE therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Even as Abraham believed GOD, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. And the Scripture, foreseeing that GOD would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying: in thee shall all nations be blessed. So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham."
The paint works are pretty good just that HW kind of cut corner with those windows paint opaque and plastic chrome chassis tends to blacken with time. Low profile Chevy pick-up does have its unique profile and having it sprayed green goes hulky... Hehe.. It's bigger than just a delivery tool ^_^
HEHE... they not only cut corner with the black windows, actually they omitted the interiors completely... all the gold and chrome plated finishes are very delicate, both in the model kits as in the diecast, but if you’re careful enough, they could last for many years, and they do look flashy, i love this finishing !!!...
i think both pickups were beautifully made and you already know that the nostalgic items are my pampered, they deserve all my admiration, is something i can’t avoid !!!... =)

From now, I will be publishing basically the same contents in both blogs, but for reviews before March 18, 2019, you must read my Blogger blog...
I’m a professional graphic designer and a restful collector, but above all: I’m someone who doesn’t take for granted anything, just because someone else says so. I think this hobby goes way beyond buying stuff here and there: anybody with money can buy collectibles, but not anybody becomes collector by doing so. I think as well that this hobby is, more than anything, about knowledge, about making sense of what happens around us and just like any other kind of knowledge, if it’s devoid of ethics, is worthless. I like to address topics around collectionism, including, but not limited to: history, industry, forums, groups, collectors, distributors, sellers, etc. I’m fully aware that criticism is essential for our hobby: everything is susceptible of improvement and we the collectors demand quality, but the industry around it doesn’t necessarily shares that vision. After all, well-targeted criticism always helps to detect failures and correct them, it’s like critical thinking: it helps you see things as they really are and not just as how they are presented to you. If you are someone who likes to look beyond the surface, welcome, if that is not the case, continue at your own risk...
