1953 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup
Currently On Auction
350-Powered 1953 Chevrolet 3100 5-Window Pickup
This 1953 Chevrolet 3100 five-window pickup was refurbished and modified under prior ownership with work that involved repainting the body in black with a wood-plank bed floor and chrome bumpers. Power is provided by a 350ci V8 that is topped with an Edelbrock intake manifold and carburetor and linked to a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission and a 10-bolt rear end. The chassis has been modified with a Mustang II independent front suspension setup, power rack-and-pinion steering, and front disc brakes. Inside the five-window cab, aftermarket seats are trimmed in black leather and accompanied by a Lokar shifter, a RetroSound stereo unit, and a tilt steering column. Additional equipment includes an electric radiator fan, 16″ chrome wheels, power steering, peep mirrors, and LED lights. This Advance Design five-window pickup was purchased by the current owner in 2025 and is now offered by the seller on behalf of the owner with a clean California title in the owner’s name.
The five-window body was repainted in black under prior ownership and features curved rear quarter windows, a chrome grille, dual peep mirrors, chrome bumpers, LED lighting, and running boards with step plates. The bed has a wood-plank floor with stainless runners.
The truck rides on a Mustang II front suspension setup with power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering and front disc brakes. The 16″ five-spoke chrome wheels are wrapped in 235/60 front and 225/60 rear BFGoodrich Advantage T/A tires.
The cab houses a pair of seats upholstered in black leather as well as a coordinated carpets and door-panel inserts. Equipment includes a Lokar shifter, a fire extinguisher, and a RetroSound stereo.
The wood-rimmed steering wheel is mounted to a tilting column and frames a 90-mph speedometer and gauges for coolant temperature, fuel level, oil pressure, and amperage. The five-digit odometer shows 6,300 miles, approximately 100 of which have been added under current ownership.
The 350ci V8 features an Edelbrock intake manifold and carburetor as well as an HEI distributor and a finned air cleaner and valve covers. An electric cooling fan is affixed to the radiator.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission and a 10-bolt rear end. The differential cover gasket, transmission output seal, and transmission filter were replaced in April 2026. The dual exhaust system has an X-pipe and MagnaFlow mufflers.
The truck is titled as a 1953 Chevrolet in California using the VIN sequence 53A009045, which is stamped on the reproduction serial number plate pictured above.
