The classic truck market continues to grow with each passing year and its easy to see why. Late model trucks lack the personality that made these great classics so special. With the ever growing aftermarket support, its getting easier to turn these classic pickups into your own unique creation. That is exactly what we have here in this awesome 1953 Chevrolet 3100. This Chevrolet pickup benefits from an older restoration, during which the body was removed from the stock chassis and fitted to a short bed, 1979 Chevrolet K10 4x4 chassis. This 3100 benefits from a repaint in its current Bright Red exterior paint that shines very well and is in good condition throughout with only minor defects and imperfections showing. The Chevrolet's Bright Red exterior is nicely complimented by its factory chrome and stainless trim, period correct Chevrolet and 3100 emblems, custom wood bed, aftermarket rear roll pan, and a set off later model steel wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich Radial All-Terrain T/A tires. This great Chevrolet features a two-tone Black and Red vinyl interior that has been nicely updated with a customer center console and column mounted Sunpro tachometer. Powering this 3100 is a well built 355 cubic inch small block V8 that has been upgraded with Dart 180cc heads, Stage 4 LS cam, roller rockers and lifters, Edelbrock Performer intake manifold, long tube headers and a Holley 750cfm 4-barrel carburetor. Backing the well built 355 small block V8 is a rebuilt (2023) 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission. Both the engine and transmission perform very well and have no problem pulling this pickup down the road with ease. This beautiful Chevrolet pickup is nicely equipped with options such as: power steering, power front disc brakes, column mounted tachometer, auxiliary transmission temperature gauge and electric wipers. If you are in the market for a classic pickup truck that runs and drives better than stock and is sure to command attention at your local cruise-in, then you will not want to miss out on this fantastic 1953 Chevrolet 3100 pickup.
