the floor. 6-Cylinder, 3851 cc | 235.0 cu in. | 3.9 L. - 92 HP
(67.712 KW). Frame off restoration completed in 2007 which can be
documented in the photos. New tires, 12-volt electrical
upgrade...Also, current owner had a professional mechanic recently
inspect the truck thoroughly: nuts, bolts, bearings, seals...
Issues with odometer, and radio. The glove compartment is missing
the proper key. Odometer states 25,000 miles but is incorrect. Bit
of history: Chevrolet had produced over two million trucks by the
time World War Two began, which halted civilian vehicle production.
In 1947 Chevrolet introduced their 'Advance Design' for their light
truck model line. An 'alligator' hood concealed the engine while
the horizontal grille bars completed the stylish appearance of a
modern truck. The elegant design remained virtually unchanged from
1947 through 1954. In 1947, Chevrolet introduced their
'Advance-Design' Series 3100 half-ton pickups featuring a new
re-design that would carry the company into a new era of style and
comfort. Few changes would be made through 1953. In the cabin was a
bench seat that could accommodate three individuals, instead of the
old separate seat setup. For the first time in the Chevy trucks,
the seat was adjustable. The doors featured concealed hinges and
extended down to cover the sills. The glass area was considerably
larger, and the interiors were more colorful. They had 'four-fold
ventilation' through the easy-crank-downside windows, foot-operated
floor vent, fresh-air inlet on the passenger side of the cowl, and
a cowl-top ventilator. This particular 3100 has been meticulously
maintained with pride of ownership. Owner just doesn't have the
room to store any longer. Call Mike to come take a look at this
beauty and find out more information. Located in Parsippany, NJ.
