For Sale: 1953 Chevrolet 3100 in Mansfield, Texas

1953 Chevrolet - 3100 Pickup

The 1940's was a very interesting time for vehicle production in the US. Despite hitting close to 4.7 million vehicles produced in 1940 everything would change when WWII came around. By January 1942 all vehicle production ceased and even for those that had already ordered vehicles, delivery would never happen. The government stepped in and due to the need for steel, auto manufacturers were no longer focused on automotive innovation but building tanks and other items to support the war efforts. Luckily in late 1945 auto manufacturers were approved to get back to business. However, they had not been developing new vehicles so there was very little change to cars/trucks prior to the war. That is until 1947 when Chevrolet introduced their first major redesign with their "Advance Design" series. This design continued until 1955 and remained mostly unchanged throughout their run. They have become extremely popular in the classic truck market and have a great look. This 1953 3100 is known as the 5 window which is so desirable that there are people out there taking the 3 window and adding the quarter windows to them. They were introduced to eliminate the blind spots you would experience without them. This is an older restoration but is still in very good shape and very solid. It is painted in a nice Green and all rust free. It wears its original chrome grill, chrome bumpers, chrome mirrors, and trim. The glass on it is all good including the original style 2 piece windshield. In back, the wood bed with stainless strips is in good condition with no issues. The truck sits on its original 16 inch Black painted rims with nice Chevrolet hubcaps.

Under the hood is a 216 inline 6 cylinder motor that runs well. Mechanically the truck is mostly stock and has just been gone through and freshened up. That includes the fuel system and it has a new tank. The motor is paired with a 3 speed manual transmission that sends power back to the 10 bolt rear end. Underneath, the truck is all in good condition with solid pans.

Inside the truck the dash is all painted and mostly stock with its stock gauges but the original radio has been removed. The upholstery is done in Brown cloth and it has a bench seat which is in nice shape.

This is a cool truck that is being offered up at a very reasonable price.

It's yours for $26,500.00!
