The 1948-1953 Chevrolet Series 3100 ½ ton pick-ups benefited from a redesign that took Chevrolet trucks into a new era of comfort, convenience and style. Chevrolets restyled ‘Advance Design’ trucks were introduced in 1947, well ahead of its first new post-war cars and little changed in appearance through 1953. The basic intent was to provide more room and comfort for occupants. These pick-ups had a new bench seat accommodating three people instead of the old separate seats and for the first time the seat was adjustable for longer leg room. The cab, described as ‘Unisteel Battleship’ construction, was larger in every direction. New extra-wide doors swung open on concealed hinges and extended down to cover the sills. The window area grew considerably via a wider windscreen, side windows and backlight, a vast improvement all-round compared to the previous models.

This Chevrolet truck is owned by a very knowledgeable and fastidious vendor. The red and white coachwork is in unmarked condition and the interior shows little signs of wear. The payload area is unmarked and under the bonnet is equally impressive. We are advised by the vendor that this Chevrolet drives well with no known faults, not that he has used it much! Fitted with an automatic transmission, this 3100 pick-up is supplied with a V5C registration document. A very impressive example.

1953 CHEVROLET 3100 PICK-UP

Chassis No: H53F009829

Registration No: 458 UYS

Advance-Design was a truck series by Chevrolet, their first major redesign after WWII. It was a larger, stronger, and sleeker design in comparison to the earlier AK Series. First available in June 1947, these trucks were sold with various minor changes over the years until March 1955, when the Task Force Series trucks replaced the aging Advance-Design model.

The same basic design family was used for all of its trucks including the Suburban, panel trucks, canopy express and cab overs. The cab overs used the same basic cab configuration and similar grille but used a shorter and taller hood and different fenders. The unique Cab Over wings and bonnet required a custom cowl area, which makes the Cab Over Engine cabs and normal truck cabs incompatible with one another, while all truck cabs of all weights interchange.

From 1947 until 1955, Chevrolet trucks were number one in sales in the United States, with rebranded versions sold at GMC locations. While General Motors used this front end sheet metal, and to a slightly lesser extent the cab, on all of its trucks except for the Cab Overs, there are three main sizes of this truck, the half-ton, three quarter ton, and full ton capacities in short and long wheelbase forms

This car has been owned by the vendor for nearly two years. This pick-up has been fully restored, and there is a large file of pictures, invoices and documents to support this. This is a very well presented pick-up, it drives very well, and is a real eye-catcher for pick-up aficionados
