350-Powered 1953 Chevrolet 3100 5-Window Pickup

This 1953 Chevrolet 3100 pickup was modified under previous ownership and acquired by the seller from an estate sale in January 2022. The truck wears a brown faux patina paint job with pinstripe accents and “Chevrolet Parts and Service” logos on the doors, while the interior has been retrimmed in brown leather upholstery. Power comes from a 350ci V8 fitted with a Weiland intake manifold and mated to a three-speed automatic transmission and 12-bolt rear end. Additional details include an independent front suspension, 18″ Boss Motorsport wheels, drum brakes, air conditioning, a Lokar shifter, Omega Kustom instrumentation, and a JVC head unit. This 3100 Series is now offered with a clean California commercial title in the seller’s name.

The truck is finished in a brown faux patina scheme with black and orange pinstripe accents in addition to tailgate lettering and “Chevrolet Parts and Service” logos on the doors. Exterior details include a chrome grille and bumpers, driving lights, a cowl vent, a left “peep mirror”, and running boards. The bed has been coated with bedliner material and has a wood floor.

Boss Motorsport 18″ wheels are mounted with 245/40 Dunlop SP Sport 8000 tires up front and 255/45 Hankook VentusS1noble 2 tires out back. The front suspension has been modified with an independent A-arm setup, while lowering blocks have been added at the rear. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel drum brakes.

The bench seat has been reupholstered in diamond-stitched brown leather which extends to the door panels. Pinstripe accents adorn the dashboard, and additional interior elements include a Lokar shifter, lap belts, a JVC head unit, and a climate control system mounted below the dashboard.

The seating surfaces are upholstered in brown leather.

The wood-rimmed Grant GT steering wheel is mounted to a Ford-sourced tilt column and frames Omega Kustom instrumentation consisting of a 140-mph speedometer and combination gauge for fuel level, voltage, oil temperature, and coolant temperature. The digital odometer indicates 900 miles, approximately 300 of which were added under current ownership. True mileage is unknown.

The 350ci V8 was installed under previous ownership and features a Weiland Street Warrior intake manifold, an HEI-style distributor, and an aluminum radiator. The battery and starter were replaced in December 2023.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission and a 12-bolt rear end. A dual exhaust system with MagnaFlow mufflers has been installed.
