This 1949 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup LS3 Restomod is a member of the Chevrolet Advance Design Series of light-duty pickup trucks. Introduced after World War 2, the series debuted in 1947 and ran for eight years. As well as two-door pickup trucks, you could also have two-door panel trucks or station wagons if you choose. Three carrying capacities were on offer; the 3100 was the ½ ton offering, the 3600 could take ¾ ton, and the 3800 topped out at one ton. The series has found great acclaim with the purist, as well as restomod communities; this particular example is firmly for the latter.
Sporting an aptly named Lead Foot Gray paint theme, it's clear from the outset that this isn't how it left the factory. The truck has been lowered; slammed would be the correct term, given how low it rides. It also sports black five-spoke American Racing alloy wheels that are a whopping 20 inches in size, wrapped with low-profile street rubber. The Chevrolet 3100 badging remains, albeit blacked out, and the truck bed appears to have been refurbished too. The headlamps are modern LED-equipped units that offer enhanced nighttime visibility. The interior has seen extensive restoration and modernization and now sports a black and orange theme. The original-styled dash remains, as does the column shifter, but a set of modern, electrically adjustable seats have been placed for better comfort. You'll also find new white-faced gauges that offer engine RPM, oil pressure, and battery voltage read-outs in addition to the speedometer, fuel gauge, and coolant temperature gauges that this truck will have had as stock. Further investigation reveals a Vintage Air control panel indicating that this truck now has air conditioning and switches for power windows. Infotainment has seen a massive upgrade, with a touchscreen-enabled double-DIN Kenwood head unit installed within the custom center console. You'll even find that cup holders are now present.
A proper restomod isn't complete if the mechanicals haven't been touched. When this 1949 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup LS3 Restomod was original, it likely had one of three in-line six-cylinder engine options, ranging from 216ci to 261ci. What you'll find now is a modern GM LS3 V8 that displaces 6.2L and is easily capable of 400hp. Drive goes to the rear wheels via an automatic gearbox, making smoky burnouts very easy if desired. A peek under the skin also reveals some Strong Arms suspension components, and we're led to believe that adjustable air suspension has been installed to enable a raised height when driving. Wilwood brakes peek out from behind the rims, indicating a braking upgrade has been performed too.
American trucks of the ’50s were true workhorses; they helped shape and move a nation and captured the hearts of many. Fast forward to today, and the love for American trucks has now been transformed from one of practical value to aesthetic value. The transformation means a massive shift in how classic American trucks look and perform; take this 1956 Chevrolet 3100 Big Window we have, for instance. This classic American truck features the perfect balance of old-school charm and new-age performance and looks.

Chevrolet pickup trucks are some of the most sought-after classic trucks on the market, with their designs being wistful memories of a bygone era. Our featured 1955 Chevrolet 3100 is exactly that: an honest American workhorse hero that has received some extra love and attention after years of work. Having undergone a full restoration, which includes a rebuilt engine and an all-new rear end, this classic Chevy is available for sale in New Iberia, Louisiana. With a 235ci Straight 6 engine under the hood and a host of newly replaced parts, this truck could be the perfect addition to a collection, or the ideal starter classic for anyone interested in characterful pickups.
The Chevrolet brand set the standard for American automobiles in the 60s, and it only takes one look at this 1965 Chevrolet Chevelle Deluxe Wagon to understand why. The simple and straightforward nature of the car speaks to the American spirit. With the wagon form, this Chevelle packed with a host of upgrades, after reportedly undergoing a full restoration with a 410 hp 383ci stroker engine, a new paint job in 2015 according to the current owner, aftermarket wheels, new tires and an all-new interior. If you’re looking for an classic that is unique, then this Chevelle is what you’re looking for.
The Chevrolet Monte Carlo is a two-door coupe that was positioned in the personal luxury car space. Of course, with a name like Monte Carlo, you can glean that it’s meant for the upmarket segment. Made across six generations, you could buy a brand-new Monte Carlo as recently as 2007. However, the classic Monte Carlos are the ones to get, such as this Pennsylvania-based, second generation 1974 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Landau. With a reported 40,805 original miles, this car is waiting for its next fortunate owner.
Chevrolet’s Camaro came to the market in 1967 and had a long production run across six generations. It’s only in 2024 that the Camaro said goodbye to the world, which, as you may imagine, didn’t sit well with pony car enthusiasts. Today, we have a Camaro from the fourth generation, which ran between 1993 and 2002. This generation sits in an interesting place, as it’s going to enter classic status quite soon, but still offers some modern features and a suitably engaging driving experience. That’s why getting your hands on this all-stock, 41,644-mile 2001 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 SS from Lady Lake, Florida, will be a smart purchase. The car has reportedly undergone a recent servicing too.
Chevy’s C/K Series debuted in 1960 and is widely regarded as one of the most influential in pickup truck circles. The entry-level was the C10/K10 variant, which denoted a half-ton truck. If you’re wondering why there are C-trucks and K-trucks, let us enlighten you. C trucks are rear-wheel drive, while K trucks have four-wheel drive. This is the key difference between the two. So, today’s 1984 Chevrolet K10 is a four-wheel drive variant from the third generation of Chevy C/K series trucks, and a half-ton truck at that. However, this North Carolina-based machine is much more than that, having received some refreshments and upgrades. Read on to discover more, and you might find plenty of reasons to sign on the dotted line and take this truck home.
Ford’s popular F-Series that is available today and in the fourteenth generation, was born in 1948. It was aimed at mobilizing American small businessholders, farmers and those engaged in trade. For the first generation, the range started with the F-1 which was a half-ton pickup truck. It had a 6.5-foot cargo bed, and sat at just 189 inches long; shorter than many full-size luxury cars of today. Over time, the F-1 has become a cherished classic and a symbol of American freedom – because it allowed you to take your family to market, with your goods for sale in the truck bed. This particular 1950 Ford F-1 Custom Build is a little different, as it’s a restomod with a host of upgrades. Residing in California and having just 13,367 miles since its rebuild, this truck is ideal for someone who wants classic style tastefully combined with modern features and performance.
The Ford F-Series came in 1948, and has continued uninterrupted to this day. Fourteen generations have been made, and it’s one of the longest-running nameplates in American automotive history. This 1956 Ford F-100 comes from the second generation of the series and has been subjected to a full frame-off restoration effort. With a V8 and plenty of attention paid to bring it to near-factory condition, this is a great classic truck for the discerning collector, as well as first-time collector alike. Since it’s seen just 328 miles of driving post-restoration, you’ll basically be its first owner, in a way!
