General Motors began building pickup trucks like this stylish 1949
Chevrolet 3100 at the start of WWI and in the first year of
production about 900 trucks rolled off the line. By 1942 when
civilian production stopped, Chevrolet had produced two million
trucks. Clearly, they were doing something right. Following WWII
the Bowtie brand sought to maintain its dominance and in 1947 it
debuted its 'Advance Design' series of pickups. Ranging from the
�-ton 3100 to the 1-ton 3800 and initially powered by reliable
straight six of 216.5ci - later growing to 235ci and then 261ci -
the full-bodied and modern looking line-up quickly became the
best-selling truck in America, a title it held for the duration of
its eight-year production life.
This handsome Chevrolet 3100 is in excellent condition wearing a
deep Forester Green paint finish with black painted running boards
with a correctly painted stripe runnig around the cab's beltline
The deluxe trim on this classic Chevy includes a bright,
attention-grabbing chrome grill, chrome front and optional rear
bumpers. The bed floor has wood planks with correctly painted metal
bed strips.
Green-painted 16-inch steel wheels wear chrome hubcaps and trim
rings fitted with Coker Classic wide-whitewall tires that enhance
the character and style of this classic truck. A spare fitted with
a BF Goodrich tire is mounted to the underside of the bed, and
jacking equipment is retained in the bench seat storage
compartment.

The interior features a bench seat with Tobacco colored comfortable

level.

straight-six featuring a single downdraft carburetor topped by an
