Nice,my friend Loren, got one like it but the darker Green. He drove it local fireworks display, the new just hired Highway Patrol stopped him coming home,wanted to see License, registration, etc,and also told him he had one tail light burned out, Loren told him it only had one,that caused a half hour delay!

I suppose he also tried to bust him for no seat belts!

Cousins had one just like it but darker green, I remember they put a short blpock in it at about 1959 from Sears.
Speedometer didn't work I asked how do you know what speed you are going, We just count the telephone poles, have yet to
figure that one out.

Are those pull-down door handles or push buttons? I believe that's a 1/2 ton. I had a
49 3/4 ton (pull-down door handles) which I gave to my oldest grandson. It doesn't look that nice as it was a well worked farm truck, but it's still drivable.

Alright, dumb question time. What exactly is it? I like the color and style.

 

[Richard G.]

Looks just like my 51 Chevy half ton except for the color.

A lot of years looked the same from that angle, Most of the change was in the grill. Stan

If you do a web search for the above description, you will find more pics of this truck.

Grills were all the same on the Advanced Design pickups until 54 and 55 1st series. Appears to have push button handles and vent windows which would make it 52 at the earliest. If the handles are pull down it would be 51. Before that the door windows were 1 piece. The windshield is 2 piece based on the point at the front of the cab and the box rails are angled making it pre 54. Either 52 or 53 would be my conclusion.

Not a stake side. Stake side has a flatbed
with wooden racking for sides and no metal
pickup box. It's your regular half ton,
short bed Chevy 3100 pickup.

I can't remember, were the original bumpers painted or chrome plated?

This post pretty well covers it. For other Chevy truck info check out Stovebolt.com


Lots of good info over there, plus a good set of forums.
