Vehicle Description
This 1953 Chevrolet 3100 5-window truck is true rolling nostalgia.
After all, it has all the great classics feel, right down to the
column-shifter transmission. But the condition of everything lets
you know they made a solid restoration investment to make sure you
say "old school" with pride.
Trucks are supposed to be utilitarian, but Chevy did it with style.
The Advance Design pickup rally lived up to its name with sleek
fenders, chrome bumpers, and a bright five-bar grille that follows
the contour established by the hood. They really took their time
restoring this one, and so the green paint looks correct for the
'50s but has a far greater luster. You'll love the details on
everything from the two-piece wheel covers to the fresh lumber in
the truck bed. And everyone loves the look of the wraparound rear
glass on the optional five-window pickup.
Inside, the nostalgic feeling continues. The dark metallic gold on
the dash, doors, and steering wheel is a great classic color. And
it coordinates nicely with the tan on the bench seat and door
panels. There are large gauges, a large steering wheel, and an airy
feeling that comes from the extra light of the extra windows let
inside. So you really can't help but smile when piloting this
vintage machine.
Under the hood is Chevy's famous 216 inline-six. The tall, long
block is a proud powerhouse, and everyone also loves to see the
original-style carburetor and chrome oil bath air cleaner. It's
still ready for a day's work thanks to useful upgrades like the
alternator. And you can still expect an honest day's grind out of
this 3100 thanks to the motor's level of workman torque. So even if
you're just out for a pleasurable drive, there's always plenty of
power. And for that added touch of period-correct fun, the motor is
mated to a three-speed column shift manual transmission.
This is a classic truck with all the great gloss of nostalgia. So
if you love true vintage, all today!!!
