Chevrolet Commercial – commercial versions of the Advance Design 3100 half-tonners with Stepside load bed, 73 to 120 kW, 3.5 to 7.4-litre displacement, around 1.4 to 2.4 tonnes unladen
This page gathers the versions the register carries under the Commercial name for Chevrolet commercial vehicles, at their core the 3100 half-tonners of the Advance Design range Chevrolet built from 1947 to 1955. Several model names name the Stepside load bed, Chevrolet's term for the stepped platform with external rear fenders.

The register lists here 8 versions with 73 to 120 kW from six- to eight-cylinders of 3,500 to 7,400 cm³, unladen weights from 1,350 to 2,410 kg, a gross weight of 2,086 to 3,500 kg, lengths from 4,730 to 5,211 mm and widths from 1,820 to 2,200 mm.
The Advance Design range was Chevrolet's first completely new post-war range and, with its rugged ladder-frame construction, laid the groundwork for the later C/K range; the 3100 was for years the best-selling pickup in the United States. After the Advance Design range ended in 1955, the Task Force generation inherited its basic construction with a revised body.
On used examples, oil consumption and carburettor condition matter on the engine, rust and sag on the ladder frame and leaf springs, rust on the external fenders and load floor on the Stepside bed, and rust on the sills and door bottoms on the body. Original badges and trim, plus the condition of the chrome elements, are also worth assessing; parts run through the American youngtimer trade.
