What You Need to Know
We're proud to offer for your consideration the highly collectible 1953 Chevrolet C3100 five window pickup.
Chevrolet's radically different 1947-54 Advanced Design light-duty trucks represented a sea change in pickup design and appearance. The cab was eight inches wider and seven inches longer. By pickup standards increases of this magnitude only happen once in a lifetime. Pushbutton door handles replaced turning handles and a spare was mounted by the drivers side door. An adjustable bench seat slid to and from the dashboard, oor locks were available for the first time, nd a larger steering wheel influenced maneuverability. The 53 Chevy also featured "four-fold ventilation", hrough the easy crank down side windows, owl top ventilator, oot operatedfloor vent, nd the fresh air inlet on the curb side of the cowl.
Advance Design was the term used to describe the historic 90-horsepower 216 cubic inch, hriftmaster, verhead-valve six cylinder engine. 1953 was the final year for this 216 cubic inch Babbit bearing type engine. A three speed manualtransmission was standard on these half ton pickups and used a single-disc clutch. The brakes werehydraulic expanding-drum types and the rear-end axle gear ratio was 4.11:1.
The Advanced Design series went on sale mid 1947. Chevrolet pickups were number one in sales during every year of the Advanced Design era. This was the truck to own then, nd this is the truck collectors want now.
What we know about this 1953 Pickup -
The current owner has had this truck since around 2002, hen her Dad who she had bought the truck for a few years before passed away. He had a lot of the restoration work during the time he had the truck like the truck bed and interior. The truck was also painted during that time. Since the truck came to the current owner it's mainly set in a covered metal building. Less than 5k miles have been put on the truck in the last 15 years. This truck has just been dusted off and had a few things done to it recently. Some key points:
  • New 6 volt battery
  • New plugs, oints, oil, nd condenser
  • New voltage regulator
  • Working wipers
  • Original owners manual is great condition
  • Original ID plate
  • All working gauges except gas gauge
It's believed this is the original motor and was rebuilt by the owner who had the truck before the current owners Father. A true collector will appreciate the fact this truck is so original, ven down to the 6 volt charging system. For not a lot of money you could convert this truck to 12 volt. The truck has some interesting modifications like the metal velour piece on the tailgate and sheet metal on the step boards where you would step to get into the truck. The truck looked solid underneath with novisible rust or any frame issues noted.
This truck isn't perfect and is priced well under what a perfect one would cost you. It has a lot of potential and wouldn't take much to get it to that point. The truck has set for many years so you'll need to replace the tires before any long trips for safety reasons. Pictures below will show a crack in the passenger side window that cranks down and paint chips on the top of the tailgate. There's also a picture of some body damage to the front passenger side quarter. The small dent looks like it would be easy to pop out, hen after fixing some scratches in the paint it would look perfect. Interior looks amazing with the only issue the arm rest on the passenger side door needing put back on the door. We had issues with the doors not closing well, e really had toslam them. No problems with the doors sagging, ust seemed to need an adjustment or possibly new strikers. The radio doesn't work and as previously mentioned the gas gauge doesn't work.
