Advanced Design Chevy trucks seem to be one of the hottest vintage pickups going because they combine an upright tough appearance with some of the sleek lines that make other GM products iconic in the '50s. So we're always excited to have a 1953 Chevrolet 3100 5-window truck like this one that perfectly blends old style with new amenities - like the A/C interior. The two-piece windshield, big rounded fenders, and sought-after five-window cab are all great classic... elements. But the bright yellow paint also signals this is more than a just a vintage machine. It has been nicely customized in areas like the painted grille and de-chromed hood that purposely give this one a more modern appearance. It's not to say that this one doesn't have nice bright work, but without out a shiny overload, you get to appreciate the elements like wraparound bumpers and racing style wheels much more. Plus, the full diamond plate bed with matching tool box is the coolest way to upgrade the shine on this truck while still reminding us all it's tough enough for weekend chores. Inside is some vintage charm with plenty of nice upgrades. The exterior yellow returns on the door tops and dash, and now it's joined by a deep black for plenty of distinction. Nicely-bolstered bucket seats, carpeting, and an AM/FM/CD stereo w/aux input are all huge upgrades over what was available in '53. You even have modern R134a air conditioning blowing nice and cold. Plus, with the Camaro-style NK4 steering wheel, large speedo & tach, and full auxiliary gauge package, this is very much a driver's machine. Open the hood to see what we all want - a stout 350 Chevy small block. It's instantly apparent money was recently invested here with such tidy belts, wires, and hoses. More than just look good, it has all the right go-fast goodies like an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock Performer intake, and double-hump heads. The long tube headers add even more power as they also contribute to the rumbling dual exhaust. Plus, with a three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and front disc brakes, it's easy to bring all this power to the streets. Here's that ideal pickup that nicely blends old and new style into one custom build. And you get to enjoy it all from A/C comfort. So don't let this deal slip away, call today!
