Chevy's Advance Design series of pickup trucks was the automaker's first major new truck product after World War II. Debuting for the 1947 model year, these trucks ran for eight years before the Task Force took over. What came after the Task Force? The venerable C/K series. After that? The Silverado. Now you can see the pedigree which these trucks created. This particular 1952 Chevrolet 3100 is thus a fine example of early American pickup trucking, and it's a rather lovely restomod too. We're told that a restoration and restomod effort was started in 1996 and took five years to finish. Would you like to be the next owner of this head-turner? Read on and be tantalized.
We're told that the current blue-green paintwork on this 1952 Chevrolet 3100 is from around 2001, the tail end of its five-year restoration. Over two decades later, the paintwork still stuns, a testament to how well this truck has been looked after since then. You'll also note the lovely mag-style wheels that seem to go well with the Fifties and Sixties vehicles. Finally, take a few moments to appreciate the lovely wood-lined cargo bed. This is one cargo bed you're never going to want to toss a load of two-by-four into. And why should you? This truck's working life is done; it's now ready to be coveted and cared for. Let's check out the interior, which we're told was also redone around 2001. Here, we see some signs of updates, namely a new instrument cluster, a more modern three-spoke Chevy steering wheel, and a refreshed gear knob. The pedals also sport metal pedal covers. Meanwhile, the seat has been upholstered in gray fabric and has gained lap belts. It also provides a flip-down armrest for the driver and passenger's comfort. The door cards are upholstered in the same fabric as the seats, and you'll see that elements such as door pulls, and window winders are new metal items. The cherry on the cake is a retro-modern push-button radio atop the dashboard, which adds a tape player to the mix.
The restomodding effort is most apparent in the powertrain department. Here, this 1952 Chevrolet 3100 packs a 350ci V8 crate engine rated for 330hp. The engine is blessed with a slight cam, a high-rise intake, and dual Edelbrock 500 carburetors. A Turbo 350 automatic transmission sends power to the rear wheels, and we're told that the transmission and rear end are from a 1977 Trans Am. Finally, the front brakes have been converted to disc for added stopping power, given that no Advance Design truck ever came with 330 horses from the factory.
Chevy’s Task Force series of pickup trucks debuted in 1955, and is the predecessor of the C/K series, which subsequently morphed into the Silverado. Hence, this 1959 Chevrolet 3100 is a forefather of today’s Chevy Silverado full-size pickup trucks. Fresh off a comprehensive restoration, this example has just 15,000 miles since the build, and comes with all servicing up to date. Two keys are also included with the sale of this stunner, making it an excellent restomod to own, drive, and cherish.
The Chevy Task Force was the Bowtie’s standard pickup truck offering between 1955 and 1959. Taking over from the Advance Design series, the Task Force is the predecessor of the C/K-Series, that is now known as the Silverado. So, the series is an important one in American pickup truck history. That’s why you’ll find Task Force trucks to be excellent classic vehicles, especially if you want something out of the ordinary. If that sounds like you, we’ve got a lovely 1956 Chevrolet Truck up for sale with under 39,000 miles on the odometer. However, you’d better act fast, as vehicles like this don’t stick around for long.
Even though pickup trucks were far more utilitarian back in the ’50s, they still had a popular following. While they may not have offered the same blend of off-road ability and on-road comfort as today’s options, trucks like the 1959 Chevrolet Apache Pickup were known for their reliability and ruggedness. Originally known as the Chevrolet Task Force series of trucks, in 1958 the company changed the names of their lineup. The light-duty series, as is featured here, adopted the “Apache” moniker, along with a redesign of the front end. Our featured truck appears to be in excellent condition for a workhorse of its age. It has a 235ci I6 engine under the hood and a manual transmission.

The Chevrolet Advance Design series of trucks was the Bowtie’s first new offering in the truck segment since World War II ended. Debuting for the 1947 model year, the range comprised several derivatives, including the 3100, 3600 and 3800, which were ½, ¾ and 1 ton trucks respectively. This 1954 Chevrolet 3600 Cummins Mini Semi is one of the ¾-ton examples, and is truly one of a kind. That’s because it’s reportedly been built over 35 years, as per the current owner. It’s got a more powerful and newer engine too, with just 55,000 reported miles. The transmission is also a more modern unit with just 6,000 miles on it.

The Chevrolet C and K series were built between 1960 and 2002 in four generations and are the ancestors of today’s Silverados. The K models were 4-wheel drive, whereas the C models (like this one) were 2-wheel drive. The 3rd generation was introduced in 1973 and would be in production for the next 18 years. It was both larger and much better equipped than its predecessors. In addition to the increase in size, a 4-door crew cab was added to the lineup with seating for six passengers. Shifts in the market and the use of pickup trucks led to the availability of sedan features and options.
