Vehicle Description
Advance-Design was a light and medium duty truck series by
Chevrolet, their first major redesign after WWII. It was billed as
a larger, stronger, and sleeker design in comparison to the earlier
AK Series. First available on Saturday, June 28, 1947, these trucks
were sold with various minor changes over the years until March 25,
1955. These trucks were designed with comfort and style in mind.
The trucks added much more comfort for the driver and rider than
previous designs and were built to be rugged and durable which is
why so many have lasted all these years. The Chevy division was the
number one truck manufacturer during all of the Advanced Design
years.
This 1951 Chevrolet 3100 pickup was the creation of a multi-year
build completed in 2002. From the chopped roof, performance-built
motor, black pearl exterior paint and full custom interior package
this pickup is far from the truck that left the assembly line in
Detroit.
With approximately 15,000 miles since the completion this well
sorted truck runs great and presents very well. There are a few
minor paint blemishes which are shown in the photos but nothing
that would not be expected from an 18-year-old restoration.
Please see below some of the major components and modifications
done on this 1951 Chevrolet 3100 pickup.
