folder full of documentation, this father & son restored 1947
Chevrolet 3100 is ready to put some pavement underneath it!
Chevrolet's first redesign after WWII was the Advanced-Design for
their light and medium duty pickup trucks. It was billed as a
larger, stronger, and sleeker design in comparison to the earlier
AK-series.
The two-tone exterior pulls you in while the all new chrome adds
class. Original styled "Chevrolet Thriftmaster" emblems rest on the
side of the hood just in front of the body vent and gills. Unique
to 1947, the gas filler is placed between the cab and the passenger
rear wheel well; a feature that was changed for the following year.
The Oak inlays for the bed are separated by color-coded bed strips.
Also following the matching order are steel wheels with chrome
center caps.
The period-correct 216.5-cubic-inch ThriftMaster OHV six cylinder
sits underneath the hood and that's mated to a 3 speed on the
floor. The engine was freshly rebuilt before the current owner and
fires up very well. Pull the choke, tap the gas a time or two, and
push that ol' skool starter on the floor to bring back those farm
memories.
The interior is simple yet ample. The floors and roof have been
rhino-lined to protect against corrosion and add some insulation.
The bench seat rests at a comfortable height and distance from the
pedals and wheel. Original-styled gauges are in place and give a
clean and clear input into the trucks vitals. The speedometer does
not work but a new speedo cable is included.
The Advanced-Design trucks are some of the most sought after
classics. Whether you want to put this green and black beauty on
the farm, or drop in a modern power plant and take this truck to
the next level, all it needs is a new ass in the seat!
