The first new Chevy truck to come out since World War II ended, the Advance Design era ran between 1947 and 1955. It replaced the older AK series and was bigger, stronger and sleeker in design. The range started with the 3100 half-tonner, and went on through the one-ton 3800, and into chassis cabs and medium-duty trucks. Now, the Advance Design has found some fame as a restomod platform. That’s what we have here, a 1952 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod from Smithville, Texas. This truck has undergone a full makeover, including a new 396ci V8, a 4-speed automatic gearbox, air conditioning and much more. If you want to rock and roll around in something different to your typical classic car, this is a fine option to consider.
Exterior and Interior
The exterior features glossy red paint complemented by chrome bumpers, chrome headlight bezels, a chrome grille, and chrome mirrors. Polished five-spoke wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires emphasize the truck’s classic street-rod look. Inside, the cabin shows a mix of classic and updated elements, including a polished custom steering wheel, white-face gauges, under-dash A/C vents, and tan upholstery matched to tan carpeting. The dashboard maintains its classic shape and trim while incorporating modern touches, creating a warm and inviting interior that blends vintage style with contemporary comfort.
Engine
Under the hood, the truck is powered by a 396ci V8 equipped with a Holley 4-barrel carburetor, aluminum radiator, electric cooling fan, and chrome air cleaner. The polished and chromed components create a tidy engine bay presentation, while the upgraded brake booster and dual-reservoir master cylinder improve safety and braking performance. Power is delivered through a 4-speed automatic transmission, providing smooth acceleration and relaxed cruising. Combined with updated wiring, an aftermarket A/C compressor, and a clean accessory layout, the mechanical setup supports dependable performance while retaining the classic character of the 3100.
