1955 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup Truck

Description

Chevrolet's timeless Task Force trucks are American legends. So, how do you make a classic that's already as cool as this 1955 step side even more desirable? You start with a roster of reliable hardware that's wrapped in an ultra-straight body, throw in some modern comfort and power, and layer it all in striking street rod swagger. Like your pick-ups both head-turning AND fun to drive? This awesome 3100 stepside is just what you've been looking for!

SHOW and GO

Fully sorted and ready to roll, this clean cruiser is the beneficiary of a detailed, ground-up restoration that mixes polished poise with proven athleticism. All that lovable charm was carefully sealed in mile deep black two-stage paint. Great effort was taken during the paint and body stage which is incredibly evident in the results. Ultra straight lines and panel fit that Chevrolet could have only dreamed of in 1955, and a finish worthy of taking home a trophy at any meet up. Restored chrome, finished oak bed floor, updated lighting, and a stylish wheel and tire combo round out a sophisticated, almost tuxedo inspired look.

Modern LS V8 POWER

Pop the hood and you'll find a reliable and powerful 5.3L LS V8 primped and ready to roll! A polished aluminum sheet metal intake dumps supplies the fuel, while stainless steel shorty headers take it away. A smoothed and body color matched engine compartment compliments a polished serpentine accessory drive. And a beefy aluminum radiator with electric fan keeps things cool. Engine power is harnessed and moderated by a fresh 4L60E automatic overdrive transmission, allowing comfortable engine rpms at highway speeds.

ENJOY THE DRIVE

Slide under this rig and you'll find a complete S10 chassis, sourced for its modern geometry and ride. At the front, independent tubular A arms and an anti-sway bar support power steering and power disc brakes. In the rear, a heavy duty 9-inch axle pushes leaf springs and a second set of power disc brakes. All boxes were checked to make this truck an ideal road trip candidate.

COMFORT MEETS STYLE

Gone is the utilitarian interior, and in its place comfort and style. Custom power bucket seats wrapped in custom two-tone upholstery are accentuated by matching custom door panels and headliner. The dash has been moderized with retro style gauges, with modern internals, and a modern style center console boasts plenty of storage, a floor mounted shifter and a cutting-edge touch screen stereo. The driver feels the road through a polished and billet steering wheel that laps a polished, tilting column.
