What’s special about this listing

This 1952 Chevrolet 3100 5 Window Pickup represents a stunning example of the iconic Advance Design series, blending classic American truck styling with modern performance enhancements. According to the seller, this custom pickup has been meticulously built to deliver both timeless appeal and contemporary drivability. The Advance Design series, produced from 1947 to 1955, marked a revolutionary departure from pre-war truck designs with its rounded, streamlined appearance that set the standard for post-war American pickup trucks.

Described as having under 1,000 miles since its completion three years ago, this truck showcases a fuel-injected LS1 engine paired with a Tremec 6-speed manual transmission—a significant upgrade from the original 216ci inline-six engine. The drivetrain features a Ford 9-inch 4-link rear end with a Wilwood braking system equipped with 4-wheel slotted and cross-drilled discs, ensuring modern stopping power to match the performance upgrades.

The exterior is finished in a deep Brandywine maroon red with fresh tinted glass and new chrome accents throughout. According to the seller, the interior features a sophisticated gray leather and suede combination with modern conveniences including Vintage Air A/C and heat, retro-looking digital gauges, and a hidden AM/FM/Bluetooth audio system with subwoofers. Unique features include FOB-operated suicide doors with auto-locking functionality and 1-piece power windows.

Key characteristics:

  • Part of the celebrated Advance Design series (1947-1955)
  • Custom conservation status with modern performance upgrades
  • LS1 fuel-injected V8 with 6-speed manual transmission
  • Suicide doors with keyless entry and auto-locking
