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.
Classic trucks like this bright red 1951 Chevrolet 3100 are a fine way to celebrate America’s glorious legacy of automotive diversity. This 21,403-mile truck comes to you in fine shape, with its original 216ci straight six and 3-speed manual transmission offering a suitably period-correct driving experience. We’re told that this Los Angeles-based vehicle has got some aftermarket chrome pieces which help maintain its luster. Part of Chevy’s Advance Design series of 1947 to 1955, trucks like this one helped move American businesses once World War II ended and prosperity started to pick up. Now, they are a reminder of a time when everyone came together to rebuild the country into something better than it was before the War.
This 1954 Chevrolet 3100 pickup has been thoughtfully transformed into a classic hot rod while maintaining the timeless styling of Chevrolet’s Advance Design-era trucks. Known for their rugged durability and clean, rounded body lines, the 3100 series became one of the most recognizable American pickup designs of the 1950s. This example blends vintage character with extensive performance upgrades, including a powerful V8 engine and modern suspension components. Finished in a vibrant blue and featuring a stained wooden bed floor, this custom pickup captures the spirit of traditional hot rodding while offering improved drivability and performance. The truck has also received recognition in the show scene, earning “Best of the ’50s” at the 2025 Rotary Club of Kern River Valley Car Show.
The Chevrolet 3100 Pickup represents Chevrolet’s iconic postwar pickup design, part of the Advance Design truck series produced from 1947 to 1955. This particular example is described as a true survivor, showing just over 4,000 miles, with supporting documentation that helps reinforce the remarkably low mileage. According to the seller, North Carolina titles did not record mileage once vehicles exceeded 25 years of age, though two oil change receipts show 2,618 miles in 1995 and 3,680 miles in 2001, aligning closely with the current reading. The truck reportedly remained within one family for decades, originally purchased by the previous owner’s grandfather, later owned by her father who primarily displayed it at car shows before placing it in storage for roughly twenty years. Following its time in storage, the truck was recommissioned to ensure proper running condition, and today stands as a rare opportunity to acquire a largely preserved example of Chevrolet’s classic early-1950s half-ton pickup.

The Chevy 210 range was introduced in 1953 and ran for four years until the Biscayne took over.

The sky is not the limit when going about restomodding a classic car, and while that does sound like an appealing statement, it is also scary. There are many ways you could go about turning a classic that has weathered years of existence into something that can truly take away from what it is, into something that is unrecognisable. There is a rare occasion that a restomod is done right, and we have one of those instances taking shape with this 1956 Ford F-100 Restomod.
This gray 1986 Jeep CJ-7 comes from the very last year of Jeep CJ production, a legacy that began in 1944. Willys-Overland knew that with World War II coming to a conclusion, their military Jeep sales would dry up significantly. So, they turned it into a tough and capable civilian off-roader, and the rest, as they say, is history. Produced through several iterations, the CJ finally bowed out in 1986, giving way to a nameplate that we all know and love; Wrangler. So, this 56,081-mile machine from Mount Gilead, Ohio is a piece of history and also includes a removable hardtop with the sale. Yes, one of the CJ and Wrangler’s party pieces is a removable hardtop that can be replaced with a variety of options, including full soft tops, bikini tops, or simply left topless. This machine comes with the 4.2-liter AMC straight six under the hood, paired with a 4-speed manual box and of course, four-wheel drive!
