GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this beautifully restored 1953 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup for your consideration. This classic pickup is a testament to timeless design and robust American engineering, seamlessly blending nostalgic charm with carefully curated upgrades.
Under the hood lies a 1948 ""big truck"" 235ci inline-6 engine with less than 6,000 original miles, paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. This powertrain provides an authentic driving experience, reminiscent of the golden age of American trucks. The recent addition of a new aluminum radiator, a completely rebuilt braking system, new suspension bushings and kingpins, and a new clutch with a resurfaced flywheel ensures that this truck runs smoothly.
The exterior boasts a striking green paint job complemented by tasteful black trim, giving the truck a classic yet eye-catching look. The all-new bed sheet metal and new wood bed floor enhance its aesthetic appeal and practicality. Inside, the black interior maintains a clean and straightforward design. The bench seat, protected by a cover, reveals well-preserved upholstery beneath, adding to the truck's interior aesthetic. The billiards 6-ball shifter not only adds a unique touch but also harmonizes with the exterior color.
Every detail of this 3100 has been carefully considered, from the new gauges and speedometer to the upgraded wiring harness and 12-volt conversion with an alternator. These updates ensure a seamless integration of modern conveniences while preserving the truck's historical integrity.
Originally introduced in 1947, the Chevrolet 3100 series quickly became a favorite among American truck enthusiasts. Its sturdy build, reliable performance, and stylish design set it apart in the post-war automotive landscape. The 1953 model year continued this tradition, featuring minor updates that refined its already impressive capabilities. This particular example stands out not only for its meticulous restoration but also for its respectful nod to the truck's storied past.
