Overview of 1953 Chevrolet 3100 For Sale by Owner

An early ancestor of today’s Chevy Silverado pickup truck, this 1953 Chevrolet 3100 hails from the Chevrolet Advance Design series. Introduced in 1947, Chevy was geared to mobilize the masses after World War II had ended and entrepreneurship was recovering. Countless farmers, tradespersons and small businesses would rely on these trucks, after all. The range started with the 3100 half-ton variant, and went up to the 3800 one-ton variant. Today’s truck has received quite a few replacement parts and enhancements, making it something of a restomod. With just 3,500 miles on its crate V8 engine, this truck resides in Silverton, Oregon, and could be yours for the taking.

Exterior and Interior

If you buy this truck, you’ll definitely want to drive it around as much as possible. With its iconic ʼ40s design and bright red paint, this 1953 Chevrolet 3100 will turn heads for miles as it rolls on a set of Cragar wheels shod in new tires. The truck’s prominent chrome grille and chrome bumper really make a statement, as do its side running boards and half bed-style pickup truck. Decals along the side read Holly Llama Farms of Marquam, Oregon. There’s even an electronic tow hitch, so you can pull a trailer if needed. The interior of this 1953 Chevrolet 3100 is similarly decked out in restomod style. There’s a period correct dashboard and instrumentation, but the seats have been upgraded for high-back units with headrests that are much more comfortable and supportive than the low bench that will have been stock fitment way back in 1953. The truck includes a Bluetooth AM/FM radio that’s been built by Antique Radio for that period feel, and there’s a discretely fitted aftermarket backup camera system too. We also see an aftermarket heating and ventilation system fitted beneath the dashboard, but aren’t sure if it includes air conditioning.

Engine

A new 350ci crate V8 powers this 1953 Chevrolet 3100, and it’s hooked up to a nice 5-speed manual transmission for that extra bit of driving engagement. As you’d expect, the truck is rear-wheel drive. Braking has received an upgrade too, with four disc brakes on hand to bring this beauty to a safe and steady stop every time.
