The 1948-1953 Chevrolet Series 3100 half-ton pickups benefited
from a re-design 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 postwar cars and little changed in appearance through
1953. The basic intent was to provide more room and comfort for
occupants. These pickups 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. Window area grew considerably via a wider
windscreen. side windows and backlight. Chevrolet called the
result. 'Observation Car Vision. ' A vast improvement all-round
compared to the previous models.

This 3100 Half-Ton was the subject to a complete restoration some
years ago in the USA. Imported to the UK in 2012 and taken to an
American car specialist's. they went through the mechanical aspects
of the truck by re-rising the suspension and replacing all the
bushes. The 5700cc Chevrolet V8 engine has been up-rated with Holly
carburettors through an Edelbrock inlet manifold. The power is
transferred to the road through an automatic gearbox. The
speedograph reads up to 160mph and with these rebuilt mechanics. it
is possible that this truck could reach the top end of the scale.
It has also older custom paintwork in blue with white pin
striping and the button backed bench seat is finished in beige
velour and supplied with a V5C registration document. This truck is
following the new trend of looking old but benefiting from superb
mechanics.
