1953 Chevrolet 3100

For sale in our Orlando showroom is a 1953 Chevrolet 3100. Introduced as the Advance Design series of trucks in 1947, this era of Chevrolet pick up was the first major redesign in the GM truck lineup since WW2. This very iconic design of pickup came with the same cab configuration over 3 sizes of frames, ranging from ½ ton to full ton capacity. This beautiful black on black has been gorgeously restored and modified to be a great show piece as well as a driver. Long gone is the standard beam axle front end, instead both front end and rear have been replaced with more modern Dodge Dakota running gear. Equipped up front with independent front suspension and disc brakes, this old cruiser can stop and handle like a modern day pick up. Since the Dodge Dakota offered a V8 option you will find that compared to the more common S10 front end swaps, the Dakota running gear is more adept at handling the weight of the small block up front without sacrificing handling, making this one of the more pleasant driving 3100 we’ve seen. Under the hood you’ll be greeted with a completely chromed out 350CID 4 bolt main crate engine that has an incredible wow factor when contrasted from the DuPont 99k black paint. The performance modifications on the engine have sensible and clean just like the rest of the truck, with only slightly larger cam, Edlbrock 500CFM carb, and Edlebrock RPM intake this truck definitely puts out useable horsepower. Interior trim is left clean and classy with Dolphin gages, black leather bench, and of course tons of chrome and black throughout. Even the bed on this old Chevy is built to impress and beautifully done with a mile deep shine. Located in our Orlando Showroom, this 1953 Chevrolet 3100 can be seen including HD pictures and videos at www.GatewayClassicCars.com. For additional information please call 407-771-2000 or .
