Vehicle Description
STK 2154 1954 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup Chevrolet got the jump on Ford
after the war by starting production of its 'Advanced Design'
series pickup trucks in 1947. These models were a radical styling
change from the prewar trucks. They offered more cab room, a
streamlined body style and the capacity to carry much heavier
loads. This 1954 Chevy 3100 Series pickup was the last of the
Advanced Design trucks. Our classic received a partial restoration
in 2016. The solid body received a new coat of 'patina finish' Red
paint that gives the truck the perfect old-school look. The bed was
refinished with a new deck and removable side bed stakes. Original
factory wheels (including a spare), center caps and trim rings
provide nice accents. The interior has been reupholstered in cloth
and vinyl. Like all early postwar pickup trucks, amenities were
few. Standard equipment on all 1954 Chevy pickups was an ammeter,
fuel gauge, oil pressure gauge, speedometer, cowl ventilator
controls, locking glove box and ashtray. The owner added an
AM/FM/CD stereo for tunes and all electrics have been converted to
12 volt. In 1954 Chevy replaced their 216ci six-cylinder with the
235ci straight six. The engine featured 7.5:1 compression ratio,
received fuel through a single-barrel carburetor and developed
112hp and 200lb/ft of torque. The engine in this 3100 is said to be
the original motor that has never been rebuilt. The current owner
has done a great job as the curator of this truck. Come check it
