Professionally-Restored 5-Window 3100 Truck 6.0L V8 Automatic Air Conditioning ///
The Advance Design series made Chevrolet trucks an American staple, and this 1951 3100 5-window pickup carries that legacy into the modern age with precision and purpose. Completed in 2024 after a professional, multi-year restoration by Tony's Muscle Cars of Hazleton, Pennsylvania, it blends timeless postwar styling with the engineering and drivability of a contemporary performance truck. Finished in mint green and cream with a hand-painted red beltline stripe, the body retains every defining line of the original design while presenting with show-level quality, polished chrome, and an aluminum bed floor finished to resemble wood. The desirable 5-window cab adds panoramic visibility and accentuates the truck's rounded, sculpted proportions. Power comes from a 6.0L iron-block LS V8 paired with a 4L60E automatic and 10-bolt rear axle, all mounted on an upgraded S10 chassis with coil-spring front suspension and leaf springs in the rear. The setup brings modern road manners supported by power steering, four-wheel power disc brakes, and dual exhaust, making the truck as comfortable to drive as it is to admire. Inside, the tan custom interior features clean upholstery, a painted dash with Dolphin gauges, billet steering wheel, and a Dual 6.2-inch touchscreen stereo with Bluetooth, voice assist, and smartphone connectivity. Vintage Air climate control keeps the cabin comfortable year-round, completing a build that captures the best of both worlds. It's a 1950s Chevrolet that stays true to its heritage yet delivers the comfort, reliability, and refinement of a modern cruiser.
