For Sale at Auction: 1953 Chevrolet 3100 in Scottsdale, Arizona

1953 Chevy 5-window short-bed pickup with a just-completed restoration. It's powered by an 8-cylinder engine with custom headers, aluminum radiator and electric fan, Billet Specialties valve covers and air cleaner paired with a billet serpentine belt drive backed by an automatic transmission. It rides on a custom chassis with independent front suspension with RideTech air bags and shocks. The suspension in the rear is a triangulated 4-link 10-bolt Chevy with RideTech airbags and shocks. The truck is stopped by power-assisted multi-piston 4-wheel Wilwood disc brakes and cross-drilled rotors. The truck rides on 20-inch rear and 18-inch front Ridler wheels wrapped in new radial tires. The interior is finished in custom brown and cream upholstery, the seat has stainless cup holders. Behind the folding seat is a modern stereo system with two 6x9-inch speakers powered by an MB Quart amplifier. The interior is finished off with a custom billet wrapped steering wheel, Lokar shifter and under-dash heater. The body of the truck has been modified for a more modern look yet keeping the vintage lines and appearance. Some of the modifications include a one-piece hood, custom bed with rounded corners, hidden tailgate latch, rear bumper delete, smoothed firewall and modern electric door latches by Altman. The truck has power windows engaged by a manual-looking window crank and a sleek-looking one-piece windshield, and the body has door and hood gaps all finished off with a cream base coat and clear.
