Details

Well-known for rugged dependability and versatility, the 1954 Chevrolet 3100 3-window pickup was produced by Chevrolet as part of its Advance Design series of trucks. The distinctive 3-window cab gives it a unique, almost futuristic appearance when compared to other trucks of the era. With less than 200 miles since the completion of its restoration in 2018, this truck presents in very nice condition throughout. With $24,919 in restoration receipts, the body was painted in Romany Red, which is contrasted by shining chrome trim pieces around the truck and a beautifully finished wood bed. That color scheme is carried through to the interior and is paired with new Cream upholstery installed over its original fully adjustable bench seat that now features upgraded, 3-point retractable seat belts. Under the hood is an upgraded GM Performance 350ci V8 crate engine, backed by a 4-speed automatic transmission. During the restoration, air conditioning, power brakes and power steering were all installed, and the front suspension was completely rebuilt to improve ride and handling. The 1954 model year represents the majority of the Advanced Design styling and engineering changes during this truck's life cycle. These models featured a one-piece windshield, new rounded taillights, a redesigned dashboard and steering wheel, and a 'bullnose' three-slat grille. Today, the 1954 Chevrolet 3100 truck is sought after by truck enthusiasts seeking a classic American vehicle, and, with this truck's list of upgrades, it represents a great example to drive and enjoy. Restoration Receipt Binder included with the sale.
