Your first impression of this 1954 Chevrolet 3100 is a faithful and good-looking classic with maybe some extra gloss in the paint. But as you dig a little deeper, this iconic pickup has actually been upgraded to leave you wanting for nothing. So with the nice V8 power, upgraded suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, custom A/C interior, and much more, this is the cool classic pickup that delivers it all. This Chevy is all about making you do a... double-take. After all, they had red back in '54, but the moment the sunshine hits this one, it has the kind of radiance that can only come from a solid investment and modern clearcoat. It does a terrific job of showing off all the classic curves, and you can tell they made sure the sheet metal was looking great. Even the real wood in the truck bed is bright and glossy. And while this has a true vintage look, there are a few subtle tricks to make this a sleeker custom. Expertly deleting the badging in front, adding accustom rear roll pan, and those 15-inch Rally-style wheels give this a cool cruising attitude without being too boisterous. The interior shows more of the great care that went into the build. The exterior red continues, and now it's joined by a deep black. These two colors are expertly interwoven on the seats and custom door panels, and so you know you're going to get plenty of complements on this. But more than just impressing others, this is all about being a great all-around classic. A vintage style steering wheel with a smaller diameter lets you take better advantage of the power steering, the three-speed automatic transmission has a smooth operation, and ice-cold air conditioning show you that this one wants to keep you comfortable. Under the hood is a terrific presentation. The color-matched engine bay funnels your attention to plenty of shine on the air topper, valve covers, upgraded pulleys, and more. As you check out the full package, you're going to notice the right supporting pieces, like fresh hoses, tight belts, and an electric fan. Plus, we all know small block power is a nice improvement over the inline-sixes that came in these 3100-series trucks. This 350 cubic-inch V8 inhales deeply with a four-barrel carburetor, and it exhales with a sweet sound out of the dual exhaust. And as you look at the undercarriage photos, you'll see more upgrades like the Mustang II-style independent front end, rear sway bar, and the confidence of four-wheel disc brakes. Oh yes, this is the great-looking classic that's easy to enjoy on the open road. So that makes it ideal to show off everywhere. Don't miss this thoughtful and fun build, call today!
