This 1953 Chevrolet 3100 pickup sports a serene light blue finish, carrying its history from being bought from the original owner in California in 1985. Maintaining its integrity, the truck boasts all original sheet metal without a hint of rust, a testament to its preservation. In 1986, the pickup was given new life with a restoration that included a '69 Camaro subframe installation by Peterson Engineering, adding modern touches like front disc brakes and power steering. It's powered by a 283 V8 engine, enhanced with a 260 comp cam, roller rockers, a steel crank, an aluminum 4-barrel carburetor, and double bump heads for improved performance. The drive is completed by a 1966 12-bolt Posi rear end with 4.11 gears, striking a balance between classic charm and driving dynamics. After a cross-country journey, the truck made its way to Erie, PA in 1997, where it continues to be a cherished piece of automotive legacy.<br type="_moz" />
