The exterior of this 1948 Chevrolet 3100 Panel Truck Restomod is finished in a black patina-style appearance that highlights the truck’s vintage character and working-class roots. The iconic Advance Design body features rounded fenders, a distinctive front grille, and the enclosed panel truck configuration that made these vehicles popular with businesses throughout the late 1940s and early 1950s.

Engine

Power comes from Chevrolet’s legendary 216.5ci “Thriftmaster” inline-six engine, a dependable powerplant that helped establish Chevrolet trucks as durable workhorses in the postwar era. Equipped with a single-barrel carburetor, the engine delivers the smooth operation and classic character expected from an Advance Design truck.
