This 1951 Chevrolet C.O.E. Pickup Restomod combines iconic Advance Design-era styling with modernized performance, drivability, and custom craftsmanship. Showing 16,547 miles, this unique cab-over-engine build has been transformed around a 1992 Chevrolet 3/4-ton pickup chassis and powered by a fuel-injected LT1 V8 paired with a 700R4 overdrive automatic transmission. Extensive fabrication includes a lengthened wheelbase, relocated engine placement, dual rear wheel conversion, custom extended cab design, and a widened rear body, creating a one-of-a-kind interpretation of Chevrolet’s historic commercial truck platform. Finished with custom bodywork by Adam’s Ride Shop and a fully upgraded interior, this C.O.E. restomod blends vintage character with modern comfort and performance.
Exterior and Interior
The exterior of this 1951 Chevrolet C.O.E. Pickup Restomod showcases a heavily customized cab-over-engine design finished in 1998 Volvo Midnight Blue. Built around a modified 1992 Chevrolet 3/4-ton pickup chassis, the truck features a 133-inch wheelbase created through a 30-inch chassis extension, along with a 34-inch extended cab conversion incorporating a 1951 Chevrolet Suburban body panel. The rear body utilizes a 1954 Chevrolet 3/4-ton 7-foot pickup bed, complemented by widened rear fenders, a dual rear wheel conversion, and 16-inch aluminum dually wheels. Additional custom details include a chrome grille, stock-style front bumper, custom rear bumper modified from another Chevrolet front bumper, integrated exhaust cutouts, an electric-released rear bed cover with air struts, and a swing-down license plate mount revealing a hidden Class III trailer hitch. Custom bodywork and paint were completed by Adam’s Ride Shop. The interior of this 1951 Chevrolet C.O.E. Pickup Restomod has been upgraded with a reupholstered gray velour cabin completed by The Trim Shop. The original-style gauges have been refurbished, while modern conveniences including power windows, power brakes, power steering, tilt steering column, cruise control, and air conditioning enhance usability. The cab design also incorporates a flip-up under-seat engine access panel, providing convenient service access while eliminating the traditional engine hump for improved interior space.
Engine
Powering this custom Chevrolet C.O.E. is a 5.7L naturally aspirated LT1 V8 featuring electronic fuel injection and paired with a 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. The engine has been relocated 30 inches rearward beneath the cab floor as part of the custom chassis engineering, allowing for improved cabin space while maintaining service accessibility. Power is routed through a narrowed 1992 rear axle featuring a 4.11:1 gear ratio and dual rear wheel setup. Additional mechanical upgrades include an aftermarket radiator, creating a unique combination of classic Chevrolet commercial styling with modern LT1 performance and everyday drivability.
