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

1951 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup 3-Speed

Sold for $30,000 on 12/14/23

This 1951 Chevrolet 3100 pickup is finished in blue over burgundy vinyl upholstery and powered by a 216ci Thriftmaster inline-six mated to a three-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes black-finished 16″ wheels, a brush guard, an oak-plank bed floor, removable bedside stake panels, and an aftermarket AM/FM/cassette stereo. The truck was reportedly first registered in Wisconsin and resided with multiple owners before moving to Oregon, where it was recently acquired by the selling dealer. Service in preparation for the sale consisted of replacing the brake drums and shoes, rebuilding the wheel cylinders, flushing the coolant and brake fluid, and performing an oil change. This Advance Design pickup is now offered with service and repair manuals, literature, brochures, service records from 2004 onwards, and a clean Oregon title.

The truck was refinished in its current shade of blue under previous ownership approximately 25 years ago. Exterior features include black-finished running boards, Chevrolet-branded tailgate lettering, a brush guard, a two-piece windshield, polished bumpers, and an oak-plank bed floor and removable stake panels. The selling dealer notes a dent on the roof, paint blisters on the driver’s door near the C-pillar, a touched-up spot on the left-rear fender, and scratches and chips around the body.

Black-finished 16″ steel wheels wear chrome Chevrolet-branded hubcaps and Coker Classic whitewall tires. Braking is handled by drums on all four corners, and the system was overhauled by the selling dealer with replacement drums and shoes, rebuilt wheel cylinders, and a fluid service.

The cab is equipped with a bench seat trimmed in burgundy upholstery with matching door panel inserts. Additional equipment includes an upholstered headliner, a black rubber floor covering, lap belts, and an aftermarket AM/FM/cassette stereo. The heater is inoperative, and the selling dealer notes the volume is low on the cassette player and the radio stations do not broadcast clearly.

The three-spoke steering wheel frames a 90-mph speedometer and a combination gauge. The five-digit odometer shows 23k miles, and the total mileage is unknown. The dashboard lights do not work.

The 216ci Thriftmaster inline-six sends power to the rear wheels through a three-speed manual transmission. The coolant was flushed and an oil change was performed in preparation for the sale.

Additional underbody images are included in the gallery below.

Service and repair manuals are also included in the sale, along with brochures and service records from 2004 onwards.

The truck is titled in Oregon using the engine stamping JBA93975.
