Vehicle Description
There has been plenty invested in restoring this 1953 Chevrolet
3100 5-Window pickup to make this look like a pure vintage machine.
Of course, the sharp V8 upgrade under the hood offers more power
than your nostalgia ever had. So dig into the details on a very
cool and vintage total build.
There's only about 2,000 miles on this truck since its full
restoration, and so it almost looks like today is 1953 and you just
picked it up from the Chevy dealer last week. The dark green paint
has a deep gloss, and it's nicely contrasted by the crisp white on
the bumpers and iconic grille. The body panels are crisp like this
one hasn't gone to work yet. Even the painted wood in the truck bed
look fresh. You'll also love the details, like the running boards,
painted steel wheels with factory hub caps, and even the
bed-mounted spare.
The desirable five-window cab lets even more light inside. It
really highlights the classic look where the exterior green returns
on the dash and door panels. Now it's joined by a tasteful tan on
the bench seat and door inserts. You have all the right classic
elements, like the grippy three-spoke steering wheel, tall
gearstick, and factory gauges. But there are also some
well-integrated upgrades. You have handy seatbelts, and the
factory-style radio is actually an AM/FM unit for upgraded driving
tunes.
Under the hood is a crisp package that reminds you again how fresh
this build is. And of course, the 350 cubic-inch V8 is something
far larger than what Chevy could offer you in '53. They try to
disguise it nicely with the classic black air topper. But
underneath are upgrades liKe a Holley four-barrel carburetor,
Edelbrock intake, and Hooker shorty headers. Power steering w/discs
up front make driving easy, but this one also never wants to lose
that vintage truck feeling. The four-speed manual transmission
still has the classic ratios, and the fresh undercarriage shows a
factory-style suspension. So the combination of the right original
elements and the right upgrades delivers a total package that
offers the ideal nostalgia feeling where it makes it easier to love
a bygone era.
Complete with owner's manual, this is a very cool truck that takes
the time to be a true classic. And at the same time, it delivers
all the right pieces so you can truly enjoy vintage motoring. Call
