This Chevrolet Advance Design Pickup (1947-1955) got away, but there are more like it here.

1949 Chevrolet 3100 5-Window Pickup

Sold for $37,000 on 9/17/23

This 1949 Chevrolet 3100 is a five-window pickup that is finished in turquoise over beige vinyl upholstery and is powered by a replacement 235ci inline-six paired with a three-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes 14″ and 15″ American Racing wheels, a wood bed floor, running boards, an Offenhauser intake manifold, dual carburetors, a 12-volt electrical system, and a push-button digital radio. The truck is said to have been refurbished under prior ownership and was acquired by the seller in 2022. Service performed in 2023 reportedly consisted of overhauling the brake system in addition to installing an aluminum radiator. This 3100 pickup is offered with an operator’s manual and a clean California title in the seller’s name.

The truck was repainted in turquoise under prior ownership. Exterior details include a chrome grille and bumpers, General Electric headlights, running boards, a polished fuel filler cap, and a wood bed floor with body-color metal runners. The driver’s vent window was replaced under current ownership.

Slotted-mag-style American Racing alloy wheels measure 14″ up front and 15″ in diameter out back, and they are mounted with Dunlop G/T Qualifier tires sized 215/70 and 295/50 respectively. The suspension features front and rear semi-elliptical leaf springs. The drum brakes are said to have been overhauled under current ownership.

The bench seat is trimmed in beige vinyl upholstery with black piping, and black carpets line the floors. A push-button digital radio has been added to the dash.

An aftermarket wood-rimmed steering wheel frames an 80-mph speedometer and gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, voltage, and oil pressure. The five-digit odometer shows 518 miles, approximately 200 of which were added under current ownership. Total chassis mileage is unknown.

The replacement 235ci inline-six was installed under prior ownership and features a 12-volt electrical system, an Offenhauser intake manifold, dual carburetors, a Fenton exhaust manifold, and a finned Wayne valve cover and side cover. An aluminum radiator was installed earlier in 2023.

Power is sent to the rear wheels via a column-shifted three-speed manual transmission. A custom dual exhaust system has been installed, and additional underside photos are provided in the gallery below.
