1957 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup

This 1957 Chevrolet 3100 pickup was modified under prior ownership by installing a 350ci V8 crate engine, overhauling the three-speed automatic transmission, replacing the wiring harness, and performing paintwork and bodywork. The truck was acquired by the seller on BaT in August 2022, and subsequent work included installing a rear bumper, 15″ wheels, replacement tires, and exhaust components. Finished in Tropical Turquoise over blue and white upholstery, the truck is equipped with a wood-lined bed, dual exhaust, power front disc brakes, power steering, air conditioning, chrome trim, and a Custom Autosound stereo. This 3100 pickup is now offered with partial service records, an LMC truck cover, and a clean Illinois title in the seller’s name.

The truck is finished in Tropical Turquoise with white accents and features a wood-lined stepside bed. The rear bumper was installed under current ownership, and work prior to the seller’s acquisition included refinishing the GMC-branded tailgate, the cab, and the right door as well as replacing the front and rear glass and front bumper and installing patch panels in some locations to repair rust. A replacement fuel cell is installed, and the fuel-filler door is located in the bed of the truck. Blemishes on the left door and left bedrail are noted.
