For Sale: 1954 Chevrolet 3100 in Lutz, Florida

This 1954 Chevrolet 3100 is one of the coolest ways to represent the final version of the legendary Advanced Design pickups. They look amazing customized, and this one is a cut-above with its deep red paint, a strong V8 under the hood, and a comfy A/C interior.


This is one of the most iconic shapes in pickups. Chevy's Advanced Design would be retired in 1955, and so the company was giving it a proper sendoff. The '54 trucks already come with desirable upgrades like the one-piece windshield and a distinct front end. That's why the '54 is one of the best pickups to customize. Finished in a bold red with deep luster and shine, this one has a true classic custom appearance. You'll note the big grille up front looks a lot better than it might have originally (most were painted, not chromed) and the bed is certainly nicer than new thanks to sealed wood boards and stainless steel strips that add to the overall bright appearance. And when it comes to brightwork, the 15-inch Pacer wheels are huge standouts. But beyond all the flash is still the fundamental greatness that comes from getting to drive around in one of the most iconic pickup styles ever produced.


Inside is a nice blend of old and new worlds. The black vinyl bench has a similar look to what came out of the '50s, but the material and padding make it vastly more comfortable. The door panels have the matching black as well as the exterior red. This sets up a great coordinating appearance on other places like the dash and durable floor mat. You slip behind the Grant sports steering wheel mounted on a chrome tilt column. Beyond that are a full set of backlit AutoMeter gauges custom that fit into the original dual pod design. You can carry up to two passengers with you in this vintage pickup, so to make sure everyone stays comfortable, there's an AM/FM radio with a cool period-correct knob style chrome appearance. But this is a digital tuner and aux input, so it can be adapted to work with the most modern music players. And of course, everyone will love the ice-cold air conditioning.


It wouldn't be a true custom build without a great looking engine, and this one does not disappoint. You'll be proud to lift the hood at car shows and showcase the 350 cubic-inch V8. It's been upgraded with a classic-style Chevrolet air cleaner and modern Chevrolet performance valve covers. But beyond just appearance, this one has been upgraded with components such as Holley four-barrel carburetor, an Edelbrock intake, and shorty headers feeding the dual exhaust. Plus, the aluminum radiator with electric fan helps keep this one running cool even if you're in traffic with the A/C going. The front suspension has been upgraded to a Mustang II-style independent front unit for great comfort on the road. Plus, the three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and power brakes w/discs up front really make this Chevy a great cruiser.


This one has the right amount of show and go to be the classic pickup you'll love to take out almost anytime. So if you love to drive an icon, call today!!!
