What’s special about this listing

This 1953 Chevrolet 3100 Shop Truck blends vintage charm with modern muscle. Under the hood, a Chevrolet small block V8—bored .030 over and built by RP Racing Engines—packs forged steel crank, flat-top pistons, Iron Eagle heads, roller rockers, .550 lift cam, Edelbrock intake, Holley 600 CFM carb, MSD ignition, and ceramic-coated headers. Power flows through a TH400 3-speed automatic to a 10-bolt rear, with Flowmaster dual exhaust providing the soundtrack. Riding on an S10 chassis with coil-spring front and leaf-spring rear suspension, it features power steering, power front disc brakes, American Racing “Kidney Bean” Wheels, and BFG tires. Finished in North Carolina Blue matte/patina paint with a raised wood bed, smoked glass, and relocated fuel tank. Inside, gray cloth bucket seats, Lokar shifter, dash-mounted tach, auxiliary gauges, tilt column, and gray carpet complete this ready-to-cruise shop truck.
