Chevrolet's half-ton pick-up of the late 1940s and 1950s. The 3100 badge belongs first to the Advance Design trucks of 1947 to 1955, with their rounded cabs and horizontal-bar grilles, which were America's best-selling trucks, and then to the Task Force series that followed. Both are hot-rod favourites.
