This beautifully restored 1947 Chevrolet 3100 is ready to hit the road, backed by a folder full of documentation.
Marking Chevrolet’s first post-WWII redesign, the Advanced-Design trucks were built to be larger, stronger, and sleeker than their predecessors. The 1947–1953 Chevrolet 3100 remains a highly sought-after classic, and this example showcases its timeless appeal.
The stunning two-tone paint draws attention, while brand-new chrome adds a touch of elegance. Original-style “Chevrolet Thriftmaster” emblems sit just in front of the body vent and gills on the hood. A unique 1947 feature is the gas filler placement between the cab and rear wheel well, a design changed in later years. The bed features Oak inlays separated by color-matched bed strips, complementing the steel wheels with chrome center caps.
Under the hood, a period-correct 216.5-cubic-inch Thriftmaster OHV six-cylinder engine pairs with a 3-speed floor-shifted transmission. Recently rebuilt before the current owner, the engine starts up smoothly—just pull the choke, tap the gas, and press the vintage floor starter for a nostalgic experience.
Inside, the simple yet functional interior offers a comfortable bench seat at the perfect height for easy driving. The floors and roof have been Rhino-lined for protection against corrosion and added insulation. Original-style gauges maintain a clean, vintage look, though the speedometer is currently inoperative—a new speedometer cable is included.
Advanced-Design trucks remain some of the most desirable classics. Whether you want to preserve this green and black beauty as a vintage farm truck or upgrade it with a modern powertrain, it’s ready for a new owner to take the wheel!
