Overview of 1953 Chevrolet 3100 For Sale by Owner

This particular 1953 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup is of the regular style, and being a 3100, was rated as a ½-ton truck in its heyday. Now, the truck is up for sale in Altavista, Virginia, after undergoing some refreshment work.

Engine

Powering this 1953 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup is a 235ci naturally aspirated inline-6, commonly known as Chevrolet’s Stovebolt engine.
