The seller offers for sale this 1950 Chevrolet 3100 panel van, a classic American utility vehicle with vintage charm. This example retains its original 218-cubic-inch four-cylinder engine, which has undergone a revision, including a rebore, new pistons, bearings, and a new cooling and exhaust system. The truck features a manual transmission.
With 56,000 miles on the odometer, this van has been a long-term ownership vehicle, used primarily for business promotion. The body retains its original design and has been repainted at some point, showing signs of use. There are minor rust spots inside the doors, but these are mainly cosmetic. The truck has been owned for over 15 years and continues to turn heads wherever it goes.
The interior reflects its working history. The previous owner installed homemade door panels and a roof liner, which remain functional but could be replaced with factory-spec replacements available at a low cost. Seats and dashboard remain intact, though they show typical wear for a vehicle of this age.
Introduced in the post-war era, the Chevrolet 3100 series became one of the most recognizable light trucks in America. It was designed for durability and utility, featuring a simple yet robust construction. The panel van variant, known as the 3105, was widely used by businesses for deliveries and service work. Its enclosed cargo area made it ideal for branding, and today, restored examples continue to serve as promotional vehicles for vintage-style businesses.
