Chevy’s 1948-1953 Series 3100 half-ton pickups are among the most iconic trucks ever built. These bull-nosed beauties ushered in a post-war redesign that set the standard for comfort and convenience. Wider doors, an expanded cab, and a newly introduced adjustable bench seat made these trucks more user-friendly than their predecessors. Under the hood, the early models came with a 216.5-cid six-cylinder engine, but by 1950, Chevy had upped the ante with the “105 Hi-Torque” 235.5-cid powerplant.
