Today’s candidate is seventy six years old! Yes, this 1950 Chevrolet 3100 is older than your father, and maybe your grandfather as well. It’s a survivor, a truck that’s endured seven plus decades of dynamic change. And it lives, in fine condition too. You see, this truck hails from the Chevy Advance Design series of pickup trucks which were made between 1947 and 1955. That time period is critical, because it was just after World War II. Americans were picking up the pieces and lacing up their boots to get down to the work of reviving the economy. Trucks like this played a major part in such efforts, acting as dependable transport providers to small businesses, farmers, tradespersons and other blue-collar workers. This truck is a kind of restomod too, but it stays as close to original as possible.
Exterior and Interior
The exterior of this 1950 Chevrolet 3100 is finished in a rich Forest Green, a color that beautifully complements the truck’s rounded fenders, prominent front grille, and iconic vintage body lines. Its classic silhouette remains one of the most celebrated truck designs of the era, and this example’s finish gives it a clean, refined presence that stands out without straying from its heritage. The wood bed trim adds an extra touch of craftsmanship and period-correct character, reinforcing its classic Americana appeal. The interior of this 1950 Chevrolet 3100 has been reupholstered in black, giving the cabin a fresh and well-presented look while preserving the truck’s vintage charm. The renewed upholstery brings a cleaner, more comfortable feel to the bench-seat layout, making it far more inviting for weekend drives and car events. The contrast between the deep black cabin and Forest Green exterior creates a timeless color combination that suits the truck exceptionally well.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through an upgraded 3.55 Posi-Traction rear end, improving traction and giving the truck more confident acceleration and cruising manners. The result is a classic pickup that retains its vintage character while offering the reliability and performance expected from a thoughtfully upgraded restomod.
