Vehicle Description
Nostalgia is all about delivering an authentic experience that's
sometimes even better than it really was. This frame-off restored
1955 Chevrolet 3100 delivers on that exact idea where there have
been big investments to deliver a period-correct feeling in a
package that's nicer than anything Chevy ever delivered from the
factory when new.
Truck people know '55 is an importantly year for Chevy. The new
Task Force design was introduced mid-year making these quite
special. But the appeal of this one is more than just its
history... it's about how it showcases this history. They spent
time, effort, and plenty of money getting the sheetmetal looking
great. That way when they applied the teal paint, the light would
roll evenly across the panels. And the sunlight really does love
this truck. It's finished in a deep clearcoat, so it can shine like
proper nostalgia. And you know the invested in the brightwork on
the bumpers, grille, and even details like the wheel covers to keep
them looking mirror-like. This is truly a truck of distinction,
that's why you have everything from fresh lumber covering the bed
floor, to the ultra-desirable wraparound rear glass on deluxe
cab.
Inside is more investment in keeping this one looking like a time
machine. Glossy paint on the doors and dash give this a bright
attitude, and the bench seat is covered in a comfy cloth. Even the
heater works, so you can stay warm while getting to the car show at
dawn. And if you're truly nostalgic, we know you're going to love
driving this one. There's nothing quite like the feeling of the
classically grippy large steering wheel. And this gives you a great
view of the factory gauge package and the road ahead.
Under the hood is exactly what you want to see. Glossy black fender
walls, an oil bath air cleaner, and gray paint on Chevy's trusty
235 inline-six. It really is an industrial work of art. And as you
look at the undercarriage photos, you can tell the difference a
frame-off restoration makes. You get a clean underside with
color-matched body panels and glossy black chassis/suspension
pieces. So you know this is ready to have a mirror under it. But
this is also meant for drivers. They upgraded the electrical system
in '58, so it accepts this standard alternator better - and that's
exactly what you want when you're looking to drive your nostalgia.
The motor fires up nicely and has the smooth feeling of a proper
inline setup. The four-speed manual transmission is geared for
truck duty while also giving you a wide control over the motor.
It took years to restore this truck to such a superior level, but
you get to skip the hard work and just get right to the fun. Isn't
nostalgia great. Call today!!!
