The 1954 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup marks the final year of the legendary Advance-Design series, a generation celebrated for its bold styling, durable construction, and unmistakable five-window cab. These trucks represent the transition from purely utilitarian workhorses to vehicles with real personality, making them especially popular candidates for high-quality restomod builds.

This example has undergone a frame-off restoration with a clear focus on drivability, performance, and clean presentation. Power comes from a GM crate 350ci V8 producing an impressive 405 horsepower, giving the truck modern muscle while retaining the character of a classic small-block Chevrolet. Paired with a smooth-shifting automatic transmission, the drivetrain is well suited for both highway cruising and casual weekend driving.

Chassis upgrades further enhance the driving experience, including an independent front suspension and power-assisted steering and brakes. These improvements dramatically modernize road manners compared to original specifications, resulting in a pickup that feels confident, controlled, and comfortable in modern traffic.

The exterior is finished in a dark charcoal metallic that complements the classic lines of the 3100 while giving it a subtle custom edge. Details such as the wood bed floor, clean body lines, and tasteful trim choices highlight the quality of the restoration without overpowering the truck’s original design. Inside, the cabin offers a clean, functional layout with upgraded seating, modern gauges, and thoughtful touches that balance comfort with classic appeal.
