For Sale: 1953 Chevrolet 3100 in Volo, Illinois

Vehicle Description

Sinister yet sexy! Professional custom-built frame off restoration, C5 Corvette independent front and rear suspension, fuel injected LS1 engine, plus a 6 speed manual and A/C. Only 120 miles since completion. Do they even get any better than this?

EXTERIOR: All those curves are sensual! Minimalist approach deleting all the emblems, and in this case, less is definitely more. It's just so slick! All metal construction that has a rear bumper delete and custom roll pan with integrated led taillights. The two piece hood is now one. The Jet Black paint is laid out with great detail and polished to a mirror like finish. Looking down the side of the 100% laser straight body, it has smooth contours and crisp lines. All brand new trim, bumpers, and even hardware. Brand new tinted glass with no door vent windows. All the rubber seals, fuzzy strips and weatherstrips are also new. It has the ideal stance and is sitting on American made wheels by American Racing. They are wrapped in performance tires that are size 235/45R20 in front, and size 315/35R20 in the rear.

INTERIOR: Oh, so fresh! Custom split bench seat feels more like buckets, they have so much support. The red accent stitching adds the perfect little pop of color. The door panels have been done to match and include an armrest plus a handy pouch. The dash is painted with the same detail as the exterior and has an awesome set of digital/analog gauges by Dakota Digital. Climate control and air vents have been neatly incorporated. The 6 speed manual shifter is extremely easy to use. Brand new pedals and tilt column with a billet steering wheel. The entire truck also has a custom wiring harness with a modern fuse panel neatly built into the glove box.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The LS powerplant is nicely built with an ASA Hot Cam, Edelbrock ProFlo 4 EFI, and ITC billet serpentine accessory drive. It has a very clean presentation with the perfect blend of modern turnkey reliability and performance. Equipped with a hydraulic clutch, air conditioning, power steering, and chrome power brakes, this truck has it all. Everything stays cool thanks to a huge aluminum radiator and electric fan. The firewall has been smoothed and all the hoses were run neatly. What a sweet looking engine bay!

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Custom bed with solid oak wood and stainless strips. The wheel wells have been mini tubbed. All the paint on the inside of the bed is done to the same quality as the exterior.

UNDERSIDE: Custom chassis! Full C5 Corvette independent front and rear suspension plus a seamlessly integrated aluminum subframe. This thing handles more like a modern sports car than an old farm truck! Even better, it has BC racing adjustable coilovers front and rear. 13" disc brakes from a C5 Corvette will easily bring her to a stop. The fresh exhaust looks like contemporary artwork with stainless headers, full 2.5" stainless exhaust, and even stainless steel mufflers. A very practical Tremec T56 6-speed transmission with a C7 Corvette clutch/flywheel transfers the power to a brand new DOM tubing driveshaft. It has a gen 5 Camaro rear center section and 3.55 gears. The floors are solid and rust free with a fresh look. The frame is spotless with a sweet paint job and extensive custom bracing.

SERVICE: Our shop manager thoroughly inspected this truck and we adjusted the belt, and adjusted the wiper linkage. This was a high end build that was extremely dialed in when we purchased it.

A custom truck that performs like a modern sports car! If that's what you had in mind, look no further. Only driven 120 miles since completion. I think the decision is pretty easy, this restomod truck is the right one!
