1953 Chevrolet 3100 1/2 Ton Pickup This little looker is a 1953 Chevrolet 3100 custom build restoration. Originally from California the interior and the exterior have been redone with several added features all on the original frame. All new glass. Its painted flat black with wonderful green and crème pin striping that accent the hood, headlights, door handles, dash, and tail gate of the truck. The front bumper is a custom piece, the rear deck below the tailgate has been modified for aesthetics. The wooden bed has been refreshed. The rear fenders are mini-tub in the box to help fit wider tires. The gas tank is a 10 gallon spun aluminum tank that has been relocated to the bed. It sports a Heidts Mustang II front end with Heidts tubular upper and lower control arms. It has 4 wheel disc brakes, with an S10 Disc rear end. New rubber all around on Southern Mint* painted Chevy rally rims with beauty rings and center caps. It has been fitted with a modern dual compressor air ride suspension system front, back, side to side from AirBagIt. It has 6 Sromberg carburetors that feed a 348 chevy block with 7,400 original miles. The engine was pulled from a 1958 fire truck and all of the accessories were replaced brand new. There is a pair of Sanderson block hugger headers, which flow through a set of flow masters out the rear end. The engine is mated to a rebuilt Turbo 350 3 speed transmission, with a Lokar shifter on the floor. The truck has all new wiring from speedway. The interior has been completely redone with custom upholstery on the seat, door cards, shifter boot, and visors. It features a beautiful dashboard out of a 1953 Pontiac Chieftain with custom pin stripping on the dash panel. The steering wheel is originally from a 1958 Buick Roadmaster. There has been hundreds of hours and fistful's of money put into this. Fortunately for you, the seasons are changing and its time for me to put the money from this truck into another restoration project.
