1957 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup

Debuted in 1955 and produced till 1959, the Chevrolet Task Force series of trucks were wildly successful. At GMC dealers this series was more commonly known as the Blue Chip Series. The 1957 production of the Chevrolet truck, was more in line with the likes of the Chevrolet Bel-Air, owing to the flatter hood with two spears on the top. This listing is for a 1957 Chevrolet 3100 pickup. If vintage American pickups are your thing, it’s an ideal contender.

Only 1957 year was for more open grille in 3100 Pickup. Hood is flatter with two spears on top, similar to the 1957 Bel Air. Fender emblems are still above fender line, but are now oval-shaped, as opposed to previous versions in script.

This ’57 Chevy just says American made all of it. It is powered by a 350ci small block V8 with the company of a 3-speed automatic transmission.

A bench seat is upholstered white vinyl with blue cloth inserts and is complemented by a color-coordinated dashboard and door panels. Equipment includes a Classic Auto Air A/C system, a Custom Autosound stereo, vent windows, a locking glovebox, rubber floor mats, and lap belts. The battery is located behind the bench seat. The door locks intermittently stick. The banjo-style steering wheel is mounted to an adjustable steering column and fronts an aftermarket Classic Instruments gauge cluster consisting of a 100-mph speedometer with an inset tachometer and readouts for coolant temperature, voltage, oil pressure, and fuel level.

This sweet Chevrolet 3100 probably had you guessing for at least a moment, as it seamlessly blends old and new to create one super cool custom that’s great to look at and fun to show — especially under striking turquoise over blue and white upholstery paint!
