The American pick-up truck has undergone a drastic change over the generations. Born out of necessity and raised on the farm, trucks have been the workhorse of the agricultural and industrialized world for over a century. It’s only been recently that trucks gained a civility that has placed them on the forefront of comfort and luxury. While the modern truck is a creature of comfort with air-condition and multiple cup holders, the utilitarian truck from previous generations carries with it a unique charm that only an old truck has.
Such is the case with the 1952 Series 3100 pick-up offered here, which for its era is downright luxurious with a factory stock radio and heater. Featuring a charming five-window cab, Chevrolet’s “Advanced Design” trucks were built from1947 through 1955 and proved to be a popular truck. This example is finished in GM’s Emerald Green with Chrome Chevrolet hub caps and beautifully finished wood in the rear bed. This is a solid truck throughout that carries just a hint of dazzle with a chrome grille and bumpers. Inside it features the wonderfully simplistic charm that only a Chevy truck of this era could have. A large bench seat has room for three and driving is easy with a three-speed column mounted shifter. A simple dashboard layout is easy to read and power for this Chevy truck comes from its tried and proven “Thriftmaster” 216.5 cubic-inch inline six cylinder with 90 horsepower. Most pleasing is Chevrolet’s five-window design with corner cab windows that greatly enhances visibility while making a stylish statement. This truck also rides on wide white wall tires for a look that’s pure nostalgia.
The modern truck may be comfortable, but it’s no match for the charm and charisma of a vintage pick-up. This Chevrolet 3100 is a true unmolested survivor that represents an era when a cup of coffee was balanced on the dash instead of a cup holder. Whether at the Friday night car show or the local lumber yard, this pick-up will make a dashing appearance wherever it goes.

The front end is very tight and it shifts very smoothly. We put new tires on it and did the brakes and went through and cleaned the fuel system and rebuilt the carburetor. This truck also never had rust, so always a very well kept solid truck. Its turn key ready to drive or show. Thanks!
