Chevrolet introduced the Advance-Design in 1947 as medium-duty truck series. It was their first major redesign since the conclusion of WWII and was built to be a stronger, studier, and sleeker version of the existing AK series. Ever since its release, the Advance-Design trucks sold like hotcakes, making Chevrolet the number one truck seller in the United States from 1947 up until 1955. Today, the Advance-Design is an iconic figure in the classic pickup community, and this 3100 trim is a perfect example of that. If you’re looking for a classic Chevy pickup around Utah, this 1950 Chevrolet 3100 that’s been restored, and has just 300 miles on it might be the ideal candidate. It’s got some purposeful upgrades on it as well.
Exterior and Interior
This 1950 Chevrolet 3100 received its metallic blue exterior paint in 2012 and has undergone a complete body and paint restoration. At a glance. The Chevy looks like it just rolled out of the showroom, with its wide chrome front grille and bumpers in seemingly perfect condition. The redesign of this 3100 was based on a resto-mod build and stands tall on a set of color matching rims that are wrapped in Radial LT Cooper tires. The interior of this Chevy pickup has been equally well preserved. The predominant color is gray that contrasts well with the blue body panels that you glimpse from inside as well, adorning some of the interior metal surfaces. Much like the exterior, the interior of this 3100 contains chrome trim, especially on the dash and door panels that add to its classic look. The interior also offers bench-style seating and a single-spoke steering while that sits in front of a series of gauges. They’ve also thrown in a cassette stereo system for an extra retro feel. All electrical bits are said to function without error.
Engine
Under the hood of this 1950 Chevrolet 3100 sits a 350ci V8 engine from a 1970s Chevy pickup. Both the motor and transmission were swapped during the restoration, giving this one an automatic gearbox for a more comfortable driving experience, and as a four-wheel-drive conversion for added capability. As a bonus, the Chevy also has power steering. A suspension lift and power disc brakes on all four wheels complete the package.
This 1951 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod blends the unmistakable shape of Chevrolet’s Advance-Design pickup with a thoroughly reworked performance-oriented drivetrain and chassis.

Supporting upgrades include 4-wheel disc brakes, a power brake booster, an aftermarket suspension setup, custom wheels, and a wood bed floor with polished metal strips. Inside, the truck mixes vintage simplicity with custom touches such as an aftermarket gauge cluster, dash-mounted display screen, and 3-spoke steering wheel. Showing approximately 754 miles, this 3100 presents as a fresh-feeling restomod with classic truck styling and modernized mechanical hardware.
This 1953 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod Pickup takes the unmistakable Advance-Design shape and gives it the kind of mechanical upgrades that make a classic truck far easier to enjoy today. Showing approximately 3,055 miles, this example is powered by a 350ci V8 with electronic fuel injection and a 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission. Finished in red over a custom black interior with red contrast stitching, it combines a lowered stance, aftermarket wheels, modern cooling, air conditioning, and updated instrumentation with the 3100’s signature rounded-fender styling. The result is a classic Chevrolet pickup with a strong street-rod personality and a much more usable drivetrain than stock.
This 1956 Chevrolet 3100 Stepside Restomod takes the unmistakable shape of Chevrolet’s Task Force-era pickup and pairs it with a thoroughly modernized performance package.

The engine has been positioned 1.5 inches forward, while Sanderson headers, a 3.90 Posi-Traction rear end, power-assisted disc brakes, electric cooling, and an aluminum radiator give the car a far more capable setup than a stock 150. Add Dakota Digital gauges, air conditioning, a trunk-mounted battery, 17-inch mag wheels, and an upgraded sound system, and this is a well-rounded restomod that blends classic Tri-Five style with much more modern road manners.

This 1990 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 is an excellent example of one of the most important American performance cars of its era.
