This 1949 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup LS3 Restomod is a member of the Chevrolet Advance Design Series of light-duty pickup trucks. Introduced after World War 2, the series debuted in 1947 and ran for eight years. As well as two-door pickup trucks, you could also have two-door panel trucks or station wagons if you choose. Three carrying capacities were on offer; the 3100 was the ½ ton offering, the 3600 could take ¾ ton, and the 3800 topped out at one ton. The series has found great acclaim with the purist, as well as restomod communities; this particular example is firmly for the latter.
Sporting an aptly named Lead Foot Gray paint theme, it's clear from the outset that this isn't how it left the factory. The truck has been lowered; slammed would be the correct term, given how low it rides. It also sports black five-spoke American Racing alloy wheels that are a whopping 20 inches in size, wrapped with low-profile street rubber. The Chevrolet 3100 badging remains, albeit blacked out, and the truck bed appears to have been refurbished too. The headlamps are modern LED-equipped units that offer enhanced nighttime visibility. The interior has seen extensive restoration and modernization and now sports a black and orange theme. The original-styled dash remains, as does the column shifter, but a set of modern, electrically adjustable seats have been placed for better comfort. You'll also find new white-faced gauges that offer engine RPM, oil pressure, and battery voltage read-outs in addition to the speedometer, fuel gauge, and coolant temperature gauges that this truck will have had as stock. Further investigation reveals a Vintage Air control panel indicating that this truck now has air conditioning and switches for power windows. Infotainment has seen a massive upgrade, with a touchscreen-enabled double-DIN Kenwood head unit installed within the custom center console. You'll even find that cup holders are now present.
A proper restomod isn't complete if the mechanicals haven't been touched. When this 1949 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup LS3 Restomod was original, it likely had one of three in-line six-cylinder engine options, ranging from 216ci to 261ci. What you'll find now is a modern GM LS3 V8 that displaces 6.2L and is easily capable of 400hp. Drive goes to the rear wheels via an automatic gearbox, making smoky burnouts very easy if desired. A peek under the skin also reveals some Strong Arms suspension components, and we're led to believe that adjustable air suspension has been installed to enable a raised height when driving. Wilwood brakes peek out from behind the rims, indicating a braking upgrade has been performed too.
Chevy trucks have been moving and shaking American small and medium business owners for nigh on a century. Their excellent legacy includes the current Silverado, which itself was born from the C/K Series. Before that came the Task Force, Advance Design, etc. Hence, a classic Chevy truck is not only a great vehicle to own and drive, but a hat tip towards American automotive excellence. So, we’re proud to present this 1957 Chevrolet 3100 for your consideration. Born in the Task Force Era of 1955-1959, this truck has got many modern features under its skin, including a powerful engine to thrill you on every drive.
Chevy’s Advance Design series of pickup trucks entered the market in 1947, taking over from the venerable AK Series, which had served during World War II. The Advance Design was a major redesign exercise, and nearly everything about these trucks was new; after all, America had emerged from the War, and a new era of enterprise and promise had begun. The Advance Design would thus form the basis of commercial transportation for many small and medium-sized businesses. The Advance Design came in ½, ¾ and 1-tonne capacities, as well as Loadmaster and Thriftmaster configurations. This particular 1952 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod started life as a half-ton truck, and it still remains a half-ton truck. Well, except that it’s received a thorough makeover inside and out, making it something truly distinctive to own and drive.
Chevy’s Task Force series of pickup trucks debuted in 1955, and is the predecessor of the C/K series, which subsequently morphed into the Silverado. Hence, this 1959 Chevrolet 3100 is a forefather of today’s Chevy Silverado full-size pickup trucks. Fresh off a comprehensive restoration, this example has just 15,000 miles since the build, and comes with all servicing up to date. Two keys are also included with the sale of this stunner, making it an excellent restomod to own, drive, and cherish.

The Jeep CJ series can trace its roots back to the original Willy’s Jeep, the car that mobilized the American forces during the Second World War. Since then, the Jeep CJ has found its way into the hearts of many around the world, who appreciate this quintessential offroader for its rugged abilities and backyard mechanic simplicity. The CJ-7 was introduced in 1976 and would be the last “CJ” Jeep before the introduction of the Wrangler that we know today. Our featured 1978 Jeep CJ-7 is described as a restomod, with a 304ci V8 engine, and a whole host of improvements to be found under the metal — that’s in no small part thanks to the owner reportedly spending over $13,000 in aftermarket work alone!
People remember the Chevrolet El Camino for one major reason. That reason is the fact that the El Camino is a coupe utility, or ute. The front half is that of a car; the rear half is a pickup truck. However, the El Camino isn’t a rough-riding body-on-frame vehicle. The second generation, from which this 1965 Chevrolet El Camino hails, is adapted from the midsize Chevy Chevelle platform. So, you can expect a suitably car-like ride and handling characteristics, but still get a decent amount of payload capacity thanks to the vehicle’s truck bed. This 90,000-mile 1965 Chevrolet El Camino has received some refurbishment work, and notably, it’s said to have been owned by one family all its life. That makes it a wonderful classic to buy and enjoy.
