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

LS3-Powered 1954 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup

Sold for $102,000 on 8/9/23

This 1954 Chevrolet 3100 pickup was acquired by the current owner in 2019 and subsequently modified by the seller’s shop, The Garage in Waller, Texas, including the installation of a replacement Scott’s Hotrods chassis, a 6.2-liter LS3 V8 equipped with a Holley Dominator fuel injection system, a four-speed 4L65E automatic transmission, and a Ford 9″ rear axle with a limited-slip differential. A four-link rear suspension setup, coilovers, and sway bars were also added, along with Wilwood disc brakes and American Racing 20″ wheels. The truck has been repainted purple over a tan interior housing a custom bench seat with a console, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, power windows, air conditioning, and a Pioneer touchscreen head unit with Bluetooth. Additional equipment includes a wood-lined cargo bed, a Hi-Ram intake manifold, a Ron Davis aluminum radiator, and Ultimate Headers. This modified 3100 pickup is now offered by the seller on behalf of the owner with a clean Texas title.

A replacement Scott’s Hotrods chassis was installed during the build, and body panels from a donor truck were also fitted before a repaint in purple over a black base. Exterior details include a 1953-style grille, a smoothed one-piece hood, one-piece side windows, running boards, chrome bumpers, and bed-roll LED reverse lights. A flush-mount billet fuel filler cap is located in the cargo bed, which is lined with wood slats retained by chrome runners. A ding is noted on the right door.

American Racing 20” wheels are mounted with 245/45 Michelin Pilot Sport tires. The suspension has been fitted with coilovers at all four corners, in addition to front and rear torsion sway bars and a four-link rear setup. Braking is handled by Wilwood discs with four-piston calipers and an E-Stopp electric emergency brake.

The custom bench seat and door panels are trimmed in tan vinyl, and a woodgrain pattern has been painted to the dash pad and lower trim panel. A Vintage Air air conditioning system and a Viper security system have been installed, and additional appointments include an Alcantara headliner, a fold-down center armrest, power windows, cup holders, and a Bluetooth-capable Pioneer touchscreen head unit connected to an Infinity sound system.

The wood-rimmed steering wheel is mounted to an Ididit column and fronts a Classic Instruments 140-mph speedometer and combination gauge. The six-digit odometer shows 1,400 miles, and total chassis mileage is unknown.

The 6.2-liter LS3 V8 is equipped with a Holley Dominator fuel injection system, a Hi-Ram intake manifold, Billet Specialties valve covers, and a Vintage Air Front Runner mounting system for accessories. The firewall has been smoothed, and a Ron Davis aluminum radiator has been fitted with an electric puller fan. Ultimate Headers four-into-one headers flow into mandrel-bent exhaust pipes with Borla mufflers that exit ahead of each rear wheel.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed 4L65E automatic transmission linked to a Ford 9″ rear axle with a Detroit Truetrac limited-slip differential. A drop-down battery box is mounted to the underside of the truck and features a remote charging port.

The removed chassis plate is shown above, and the chassis number – H54S026780 – matches the VIN listed on the current Texas title and is consistent with a 1954 Chevrolet 3100 pickup produced at the St. Louis, Missouri assembly plant.
