1948 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup – Ground-Up Professional Build – Chevrolet 350 V8 – Engineered Some vehicles are restored.
Others are rebuilt from the ground up with no expense spared. This stunning 1948 Chevrolet 3100 falls firmly into the second category. Professionally constructed by one of Adelaide's respected restoration workshops, this truck was stripped back to a bare chassis before being meticulously rebuilt into a show-quality street cruiser that combines classic styling with modern reliability.
Powered by a new Chevrolet 350 crate V8 backed by a 700R4 automatic transmission, it delivers effortless performance while retaining all the character that makes the Advance Design Chevrolets so iconic. The chassis has been professionally engineered and boxed, complemented by a Ford 9-inch differential, front disc brakes, upgraded suspension and steering, providing a driving experience far beyond what was possible in 1948
Open the bonnet and you'll appreciate the attention to detail. The engine bay features hidden wiring for an exceptionally clean appearance, while throughout the vehicle the workmanship reflects the quality of a professional build rather than a typical home restoration. The custom timber tray, beautifully finished interior, re-chromed brightwork and high-quality paintwork complete a truck that draws attention wherever it goes.
Having travelled less than 7,000 km since completion, the vehicle remains in outstanding condition and is supplied with engineering paperwork, receipts and build documentation. This isn't simply another old pickup—it is an investment-quality custom that can comfortably be driven, shown and enjoyed for years to come.
