Chevrolet launched the Advance Design series in 1947 as its first all-new post-war truck, and the design was a meaningful step forward in every way. The cabs were roomier, the visibility was better, and the styling was cleaner and more integrated than anything that had come before it. Chevrolet ranked number one in truck sales every single year the Advance Design was in production, which tells you everything about how well the buying public received it. The 1951 model brought its own refinements to the formula, and this example wears them well. Finished in Forester Green with a chrome grille, chrome bumper, chrome hubcaps, whitewall tires, a wood bed, and black side steps, it is as handsome a presentation as the 3100 body is capable of.

Under the hood is the Thriftmaster inline six, Chevrolet's name for the 3.5 liter engine that powered the 3100 through the Advance Design years. The name was not marketing fluff. The engine earned its reputation for reliability through decades of daily use on farms, job sites, and rural roads across the country, and the simplicity of its design is exactly why so many of these trucks are still running today. The three speed manual keeps the driver connected to everything the truck is doing, the way a truck from this era was always meant to be driven.

Inside, the brown leather bench seat is comfortable and well suited to the cabin. The 1951 model received new Ventipane door vent windows, replacing the old side cowl vents of earlier examples, a small detail that made the cab noticeably more pleasant to spend time in. The interior is honest and straightforward, exactly what a truck of this era and this character should be.

The Advance Design trucks have become one of the most sought-after platforms in the classic truck world. Their proportions are considered by many to be the most balanced and handsome of any American pickup before or since, and clean examples in classic colors with the right chrome details have been climbing steadily in value for years. A Forester Green 3100 with whitewalls and a wood bed does not need much explaining to anyone who has been paying attention to the market.
