Ford is the undisputed pickup truck manufacturer. Wrong! After WWII. Chevrolet dominated the segment with its Advanced Design trucks. The success of the Advanced Designed trucks had a lot to do with the engineers doing their homework. They interviewed hundreds of tradesmen asking them what was lacking in their trucks and how could GM improve them.  



The result is a solid truck. wider with seating for 3 and better visibility. The trucks were partially welded to give them the strength to cope with life at work. In '54. the trucks got a facelift with a larger windscreen. bigger motor and a new grille. And guess what. we have a beautifully preserved. last year. advanced designed. '54 pickup for your consideration.


So many of these 3100s were worked to death and others became mutant hot rods or rat rods. Finding an unmolested truck in such fine restored condition is truly remarkable. The current owner of 36 years has babied and preserved its originality. It runs and drives as it should and looks spectacular.  


Upon purchase back in the day. the owner spent a considerable amount of money stripping old paint off. revealing a solid truck without rust. and sprayed it his favorite shade of green - a period correct color. The finish has held up well with few flaws and probably could be improved with some light wet sanding. The owner. a skilled wood worker. replaced the wood in the bed and it looks perfect. The engine is original to the truck and one could balance a nickel on the valve cover at idle. It has been converted to 12V and it is also a 3-speed manual on the column. The bottom is clean and corrosion-free. There is one minor mechanical issue. The speedometer and odometer do not work. A new cable comes with the truck however it isn't the easiest installation requiring opening up the transmission. The owner has lived with it as is. Our asking price is a truly reasonable $24. 00.
