The Chevrolet 3100 pickup is part of the legendary Advance Design series produced by Chevrolet from 1947 to 1955. This was General Motors’ first major post-war move — and it immediately set the standard: reliable and, for its time, surprisingly charming.
The 3100 was the lightest model in the range and was affectionately known as the “½-ton truck.” Think of it as a strong workhorse with surprisingly good manners.
When Chevrolet introduced this model, it rewrote the rulebook on what a pickup could be. No longer a bulky work mule, but a practical powerhouse with presence — a favorite among farmers, builders, and tradesmen.
And this one? Better than new.
This ’49 Chevy 3100 has undergone a full body-off restoration, carried out with craftsmanship and a deep respect for originality. It’s the desirable “5-window” version, with plenty of chrome and a classic short bed.
The interior has been completely reupholstered in elegant grey vinyl.
Under the hood sits a high-compression 235 cu.in. inline-six — producing around 140 horsepower (a healthy step up from the original 92 hp). Paired with a 3-speed column-shift manual. The kind of old-school driving joy we love.
Converted to a 12-volt system, so starting is effortless. And it rolls on wide whitewall Commander tires — perfectly in style, but fresh and ready.
This Chevy isn’t a show pony — it’s a characterful classic, ready for a second life on the road, in the city, or out in the countryside. Or simply to shine on a lazy Sunday afternoon.
