Vehicle Description
This 1954 Chevrolet 3100 is one of the coolest ways to represent
the final version of the legendary Advanced Design pickups. It
mixes classic style with the right modern touches - including a
powerful small block V8, overdrive transmission, and driver-ready
upgrades to make it a great anytime vintage pickup.
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 done in
chrome. That's why the '54 is one of the best pickups to customize.
Finished in a nice two-tone green and black, this has a great
period-correct hue, but there is the unmistakable shine of a more
modern respray. And speaking of modern shine, the large 16-inch
torque thrust-style wheels add boldness to the profile. But while
this is uprated, the alligator hood, side-mounted spare tire
carrier, and real wood in the truck bed are all about how this one
has one of the most recognizable vintage styles around.
Inside is a nice blend of vintage and new worlds. The exterior
green returns on the metal pieces, and that's combined with
tasteful black inserts to give you the same two-tone as the
exterior. Newer items like the carpeting and upholstery for the
bench seat make it very inviting. You'll slip behind the grippy
Grant GT steering wheel mounted on a tilt column. Beyond that is a
full set of Dolphin gauges with vintage-style marking to fit in
with dash's classic art deco style.
Lift the hood to see a healthy upgrade in power. This vintage 3100
is now running a 350 cubic-inch small block. This V8 is a later
center-bolt head model, and you can even see the desirable
serpentine belt setup and an A/C compressor (it will need the rest
of the equipment if you want an A/C system.) The motor has been
enhanced with a Holley Street Warrior four-barrel carburetor, a
dual-plane aluminum intake, and dual exhaust. And there's much more
to this Chevy than just power. As you look at the undercarriage,
you'll immediately spot the upgraded independent front suspension.
Plus, there's a four-speed automatic transmission upgrade that
gives you highway-friendly overdrive. Add in the power steering,
power brakes, and front discs, and you have a solid cruising
package.
This is a strong-runner built to be a good driver. And since it's
centered around a distinct Advanced Design truck you know the full
package is irresistible. Call today!!!
