Chevy’s Advance Design series of pickup trucks entered the market in 1947, taking over from the venerable AK Series, which had served during World War II. The Advance Design was a major redesign exercise, and nearly everything about these trucks was new; after all, America had emerged from the War, and a new era of enterprise and promise had begun. The Advance Design would thus form the basis of commercial transportation for many small and medium-sized businesses. The Advance Design came in ½, ¾ and 1-tonne capacities, as well as Loadmaster and Thriftmaster configurations. This particular 1952 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod started life as a half-ton truck, and it still remains a half-ton truck. Well, except that it’s received a thorough makeover inside and out, making it something truly distinctive to own and drive.
Exterior and Interior
This 1952 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod introduces itself with a clean white suit and plenty of chrome, as was in vogue during the truck’s heyday. It’s got original-style badging and lights too. But hang on, something’s different. Ah, yes, the truck has been lowered! It sure does cut a fine dash on the road, aided by its black five-spoke alloy wheels, which are shod with low-profile tires. The tailgate features the iconic CHEVROLET script stenciled into the metal, and if you take a peek at the cargo bed, you will see that it’s a finely-finished wood-floored affair. It’s almost too good to use for rough-and-tumble work. The interior of this 1952 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod has undergone a host of enhancements. The old bench seat is gone, replaced by two electrically adjustable seats in black and brown leather. Then, there’s a retro-modern style three-spoke, wood-rimmed steering wheel with the Chevy bowtie on the center cap. Ahead of this lies a cluster of Classic Instruments white-faced dials. Infotainment has taken a boost, too, with a Sony single-DIN head unit in place, supporting CD playback, USB, and AUX inputs, as well as SiriusXM. There are upgraded speakers as well as air conditioning to keep you comfortable during the hotter periods of the year. This is starting to shape up like a potential daily runner!
Engine
Continuing the potential daily runner theme, this 1952 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod benefits from a relatively modern V8 under the hood, powering the rear wheels via an automatic gearbox. There’s also a new dual exhaust system for better performance and that iconic V8 rumble.
