1953 Chevrolet Other Pickups Description

You are looking at a 1953 Chervrolet 3100 pickup truck. Vehicle is from this area and was originally fitted with a rack for a metal company then was sold locally and used as a farm truck until I bought it as our shop truck 8 years ago. It originally had a straight six that ran for two years until the motor gave out after which we upgraded the following:

• New disc brakes up front, new shocks/tires and master cylinder was upgraded to heavy duty model and moved to the frame rail w/access door in floorboard.

• Installed freshly rebuilt 350 out of a Camaro and added a Demon four barrel carb; swapped out for an aluminum radiator, electric fan, electric fuel pump and mechanical water pump.

• Upgraded the transmission to a 5-speed out of a Colorado pickup and upgraded the rear end to handle the power.

• Custom headers, dual exhaust with old school Cherry Bombs

• Installed painless wiring kit as well as MSD Ignition.

• Lights, turn signals work and gauges were transferred to the lower dash.

• New glass and new rubber seals all around.

• Left interior and exterior untouched with exception of painting our old company logo on both doors.

Beautiful truck that runs outstanding and drives well; I have really enjoyed owning it.
