The post-World War 2 era saw the economy booming and manufacturers switching from strictly utilitarian to venturing into luxury. With that in mind, Chevrolet introduced a light and medium-duty truck series called the Advance-Design from 1947 until 1955. These trucks became the number one truck in sales in the United States. A favorite among hotrod builders, this range of Chevrolet pickups is versatile and can be created into unique pieces, which is what we have on offer today. A 1951 Chevrolet Pickup Hot Rod, with a tasty design and available to be seen in the Golden State, California.
Exterior and Interior
This immaculate-looking 1951 Chevrolet Pickup Hot Rod looks like that for a reason, and that is because reportedly the vehicle has just finished a frame-off build, and with some of the work reportedly done by the seller. The chassis is painted in a fresh coat of white paint. This Hot Rod is built on a custom-made chassis with a chopped 5” front and a shortened bed that hosts the custom-built chrome gas tank. A 9” Ford rear end with a custom 4 link is in place, while the front sports a 1936 Ford grille. The whole thing is finished off in a Commando Green color with a set of red-painted wheels and white-walled tires. The rear hosts' taillights on each end, with a Mercury chrome bumper and a ‘Chevrolet’ embossed tailgate. The wood and aluminum finished trunk holds a compartment for the battery. The front features round headlights on both sides of the green and red finished grille. A crosshair behind a .50 cal bullet is used as the car's hood ornament, while the engine compartment is fully open to the elements. The interior is finished off in brown color, with a set of new upholstery. Power windows have been added for extra functionality. A Chrysler Corporation Fluid Drive 3-spoke vintage steering wheel finished in brown and chrome, and behind which rest the speedometer. The center console features a trio of gauges along with a trio of switches and ‘GENERAL MOTORS TRUCK’ stamped on the chrome plating.
Engine
This 1951 Chevrolet Pickup Hot Rod is powered by a Chevrolet Big Block 396cu 6.5L V8 engine whilst mated to a Muncie Rock Crusher M22 4-speed manual transmission. Air Ride on the front and rear greatly improves the suspension. Disc brakes on all four corners assure the stopping power of this hot rod.
The 1933 Chevrolet Pickup represents an important era of Chevrolet’s early truck history, combining pre-war styling with the simplicity and character that have made vintage pickups highly desirable among collectors. This example showcases the classic Chevrolet commercial design with its upright cab, flowing fenders, wooden cargo bed, and period-correct mechanical layout. Finished in blue with black fenders, this pickup has been refreshed with a custom paint job and reupholstered interior while retaining its traditional Stovebolt inline-six powertrain and manual transmission configuration.
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.
The 1936 Chevrolet FB 1/2-Ton Pickup Street Rod is a beautifully reimagined classic that blends pre-war styling with modern performance and comfort. Showing 34,186 miles, this build transforms an iconic early Chevrolet truck into a usable and enjoyable cruiser without losing its vintage character. With a custom two-tone finish and a proven small-block V8 under the hood, it offers the best of both worlds—classic looks paired with reliable drivability. Street rods like this are highly sought after for their uniqueness, and this example stands out with its thoughtful upgrades and attention to detail.
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. Its signature passenger-side loading ramp, rear-mounted engine, compact proportions, and distinctive cab-over styling give the Rampside an identity unlike virtually any other American pickup of the period.
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. This 1984 Chevrolet K5 Blazer shows 52,293 miles and keeps that classic formula intact with V8 power, an automatic transmission, dual-range four-wheel drive, and solid axles. 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.
The 1964 Chevrolet Impala 4-Door Sedan captures the long, low, unmistakable style that made Chevrolet’s full-size cars such icons of the 1960s. Showing approximately 28,076 miles, this example combines a 327ci V8 with a 2-barrel carburetor and 2-speed Powerglide automatic transmission, while power steering and power brakes make it considerably easier to enjoy from behind the wheel. 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.
