Trucks were made to work, but we’d be willing to make an exception for this 1953 Chevrolet 3100 we saw at the Barrett-Jackson 2024 Scottsdale Fall Auction. As part of a 2011 frame-off restoration, it received a handsome two-tone green finish as well as fresh chrome and an oak plank bed floor with matching side rails. There’s more green inside the cab as well as a bench seat reupholstered in two-tone gray vinyl and cloth.
One thing you won’t see in there is the fuel tank because that’s been reinstalled underneath the bed. The 235ci I6 under the hood is connected to a four-speed manual transmission. Maybe the person who won this classic American truck with a bid of $44,000 drives it to local car shows. Or maybe they use it to carry building materials for a home improvement project.
