Restored 3600 Truck LS1 5.7L V8 Automatic A/C Upgraded Chassis ///
Factory-built as a 1952 Chevrolet 3600 ¾-ton pickup assembled in Kansas City, this Advance-Design truck began life as a utilitarian workhorse before undergoing a comprehensive frame-off restoration completed in 2021 that transformed it into a modernized street machine while retaining classic styling cues. The body was refined with shaved drip rails and smoothed cab corners, while factory-style emblems and both front and rear bumpers were retained to preserve a recognizable Advance-Design appearance. Finished in deep Proud Navy Pearl, the truck rides on 17" paint-matched steel wheels that reinforce its monochromatic presentation, and the bed features a traditional wood floor with blue-stained panels. Power comes from a rebuilt 5.7L LS1 V8 equipped with Holley Terminator X engine management and an LS2 intake manifold, paired with a 4L60E automatic transmission and a Ford 8" rear axle with 3.55 gears and a limited-slip differential. Exhaust exits through a stainless steel system fitted with Black Widow mufflers, while a Mustang II front suspension, 4-link rear setup, coilover shocks at all four corners, Wilwood four-wheel power disc brakes, and power rack-and-pinion steering provide modern handling and braking capability. Inside, the custom interior features low-back Procar bucket seats, a body-matched center console and dash with Dakota Digital instrumentation, a Custom Autosound Bluetooth head unit, modern air conditioning, and custom aluminum door skins that create a subtle two-tone effect. Now configured in 3100-style short-bed form, this Chevrolet pairs upgraded chassis hardware with proven LS1 power and timeless Advance-Design styling following its 2021 restoration.
