The Chevrolet Series 3100 pickup was redesigned in 1954, incorporating a new horizontal-bar grille with integrated parking lights, a deeper cargo box and a curved, one-piece windshield. The rear bumper was exclusive to the 1954 model, with a center cut-out for the license plate- a hard-to-find part today.
The new 235.5ci straight-six engine was adapted from the previous year’s passenger car line, given higher compression and pressurized oiling, and offered with an optional Hydramatic transmission. The 3100 Series was an all-around better truck, larger and more powerful than its predecessors. With major changes coming throughout the Chevrolet product line in 1955, it was a unique vintage.
This outstanding 3100 Series has been restored from a solid original truck owned by the same gentleman for 40 years. The pastel Mint Green finish is complemented with new chrome, glass, bumpers and hubcaps, and faithfully replicated wood bed and sideboards. Black running boards and blackwall tires combine to sharpen the look. The new tan interior is typically simple, with fabric seats, a column-mounted shifter and firewall-mounted heater.
This exceptional Chevy pickup is an authentically restored classic mid-century workhorse.
Highlights:
- Unique limited-period styling
- Mint Green with Black running boards and White front grille trim
- New chrome, bumpers, hubcaps
- New wood bed and sideboards
- New tan interior, new glass
- 235.5ci straight-six 3-speed manual
