This 1954 Chevrolet 3100 is one of the coolest ways to represent the final version of the legendary Advanced Design pickups. They look amazing customized, and this one is a cut-above with its deep red paint, a strong V8 under the hood, and a comfy A/C interior.This is one of the most iconic shapes in pickups. Chevy's Advanced Design would be retired in 1955, and so the company was giving it a proper sendoff. So the 1954 trucks already come with desirable upgrades like the one-piece windshield and a distinct front end. That's why the '54 is one of the best pickups to customize. Finished in a bold red with deep luster and shine, this one has a true classic custom appearance. You'll note the big grille up front looks a lot better than it might have originally (most were painted, not chromed) and the bed is certainly nicer than new thanks to sealed wood boards and stainless steel strips that add to the overall bright appearance. And when it comes to brightwork, the 15-inch Pacer wheels are huge standouts. But beyond all the flash is still the fundamental greatness that comes from a vintage Chevy pickup, with a straight steel body and its trim intact.Inside is a nice blend of old and new worlds. The black vinyl bench has a similar look to what came out of the '50s, but the material and padding make it vastly more comfortable. The door panels have the matching black as well as the exterior red. This sets up a great coordinating appearance on other places like the dash and durable floor mat. You slip behind the Grant sports steering wheel mounted on a chrome tilt column. Beyond that are a full set of gauges custom that fit into the original dual pod design. You can carry up to two passengers with you in this vintage pickup, so to make sure everyone stays comfortable, there's an AM/FM radio with a cool period-correct knob style chrome appearance. But this is a digital tuner, so it can be adapted to work with the most modern music players. And of course, everyone will love the ice-cold air conditioning.It wouldn't be a true custom build without a great looking engine, and this one does not disappoint. You'll be proud to lift the hood at car shows and showcase the 350 cubic-inch V8. It's been upgraded with a classic-style Chevrolet air cleaner and modern Chevrolet performance valve covers. But beyond just appearance, this one has been upgraded with components such as an Edelbrock intake, Holley four-barrel carburetor, and aluminum radiator with electric fan. The result is a strong running motor with an ear catching sound out of the dual exhaust. You'll enjoy cruising in this one over the long haul thanks to upgrades such as the modern independent front independent suspension, power steering, front disc brakes, and a four-speed overdrive automatic transmission.This one has the right amount of show and go to be the classic pickup you'll love to take out cruising almost anytime. Plus, it has all the right upgrades to make it a fine comfortable choice for a commute, too. Call today!!!
