Few classic trucks excite restomod builders like the Chevrolet 3100. Its major post-WWII redesign, durability, and Art Deco styling have made it one of the most sought-after foundations in the restomod world. For the 1951 model year, a quirky "5-window" cab option was offered, which featured corner windows on the back of the cab. The example we are featuring here is also a "5-window" 1951 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod. With only 2486 miles on its odometer, this stunner is in Santa Ana, California. If you love making an entrance and packing the performance to back up the gusto, this 3100 will be an excellent choice.
Exterior and Interior
The lowered profile of this 1951 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod is adorned with custom Highland Green color and striking chrome features, and it is the first impression for others. The Smoothed fitted running boards refine the side profile. It is given a modern twist with the 18-inch front and 20-inch rear Billet Specialties staggered wheels. The rear bed is finished with polished wood and chrome strips. This 3100 rides on an upgraded Fat Man Mustang II independent front suspension and a TCI four-link rear suspension featuring QA1 adjustable coilovers at all four corners, providing superb handling. The cabin of this 1951 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod is trimmed in a reupholstered Macadamia. The driver gets a period-correct steering wheel fitted to a chrome steering column. A RetroSound audio system with Bluetooth capability and a custom hidden air conditioning system offers modern conveniences without interrupting the vintage aesthetic. An American Autowire complete wiring harness supports the electronics.
Engine
A shaved firewall forms a clean engine bay, and in it is a 6.0L Naturally Aspirated LQ9 V8 with electronic fuel injection. This powerplant is cooled by an aluminum four-core radiator. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a 4L60E automatic transmission to a Ford Racing 8.8-inch rear end featuring a 3.55:1 rear gear ratio. The engine makes use of a Texas Speed performance camshaft and a polished Holley Sniper EFI intake system for improved performance. Meanwhile, a custom dual exhaust system with stainless headers enhances air flow.
This 1951 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod blends the unmistakable shape of Chevrolet’s Advance-Design pickup with a thoroughly reworked performance-oriented drivetrain and chassis. Finished in Forest Green Metallic over a Black interior, this build is powered by a 6.0-liter LS2 V8 topped with dual Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetors and backed by a TH400 3-speed automatic. Supporting upgrades include 4-wheel disc brakes, a power brake booster, an aftermarket suspension setup, custom wheels, and a wood bed floor with polished metal strips. Inside, the truck mixes vintage simplicity with custom touches such as an aftermarket gauge cluster, dash-mounted display screen, and 3-spoke steering wheel. Showing approximately 754 miles, this 3100 presents as a fresh-feeling restomod with classic truck styling and modernized mechanical hardware.
This 1953 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod Pickup takes the unmistakable Advance-Design shape and gives it the kind of mechanical upgrades that make a classic truck far easier to enjoy today. Showing approximately 3,055 miles, this example is powered by a 350ci V8 with electronic fuel injection and a 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission. Finished in red over a custom black interior with red contrast stitching, it combines a lowered stance, aftermarket wheels, modern cooling, air conditioning, and updated instrumentation with the 3100’s signature rounded-fender styling. The result is a classic Chevrolet pickup with a strong street-rod personality and a much more usable drivetrain than stock.
This 1956 Chevrolet 3100 Stepside Restomod takes the unmistakable shape of Chevrolet’s Task Force-era pickup and pairs it with a thoroughly modernized performance package.

Finished in black over a beige interior, it also benefits from a reupholstered cabin, aftermarket digital gauges, a Pioneer audio head unit, custom wood bed flooring, and aftermarket wheels. It is a strong blend of vintage truck styling and contemporary performance hardware.
The 1961 Chevrolet Corvair 95 Rampside Pickup is one of Chevrolet’s most unconventional utility vehicles, combining a forward-control cab with the Corvair’s rear-mounted, air-cooled powertrain and a genuinely clever side-loading pickup bed. Showing 23,258 miles, this example is powered by a 145ci air-cooled flat-six with dual single-barrel carburetors and a 4-speed manual transmission.

The K5 Blazer is one of the defining full-size American 4x4s of its era, combining the hardware of a traditional Chevrolet truck with a shorter two-door body and removable roof.

Its removable fiberglass hardtop adds the open-air element that helped distinguish the K5 from conventional SUVs, while the period-style Rally wheels, BFGoodrich all-terrain tires, and burgundy cabin complete the unmistakably 1980s presentation.

Finished in Red over a Black interior, it also benefits from tasteful modern upgrades including aftermarket coilover suspension and a Bluetooth-capable sound system, adding usability without taking away from the car’s classic character.
