Vehicle Description
Here's a vintage truck that's an absolute lock to turn heads. This
1955 Chevrolet 3100 Big Window (3) wears a high impact exterior
color you won't want to look away from and has been outfitted with
a healthy, more modern engine to anchor a high functioning
drivetrain. Inside and out this classic is in top form, with an
array of distinctively cool custom touches and an outstanding
running condition that equips it to impress passers-by just as soon
as you bring it home.
The striking color scheme draped over this classic's exterior,
featuring a distinctive plum purple color accented by a white roof,
makes it a head turner in the best possible way. It's a stand-out
combo to begin with and a closer inspection will show that it's
been applied with plenty of skill - this is without a doubt a high
quality paint job that's come through the years in very strong
fashion and a comprehensive detailing would make it flat out
stellar. The array of chrome trim and bumpers both fore and aft
appear to be nearly new and really pop against such a magnetic
backdrop. This Chevy has been outfitted with a stance that's just
awesome - lowered, with a nice aggressive incline, with just the
right amount of wheel offset figured in to keep the rubber from
scraping in everyday driving conditions. Clean cabin glass
surrounded by fresh rubber seals adds even more to the precisely
finished overall appearance.
There's an effective blend of new and old components on display
inside the doors, starting with a pair of late model, plushly
padded bucket seats that fit nicely and look great in this setting.
They offer a level of comfort and support well out of reach of the
original seating and tie in nicely to the door panels they're
bracketed by. A tilt column sits in place of the original, so
you'll be able to find that perfect driving position, and there's
an aftermarket AM/FM/CD stereo on board to tend to your audio
needs. Just a little farther forward, the instrument panel still
sports its vintage factory style, with an array of functional
gauges lodged in an impressively clear, heart-shaped display. In
back, the bed area is in top form - its floor features well-prepped
wooden slats and stainless steel reinforcements that are surrounded
by blemish-free walls. An air conditioning system has been
installed and its compressor is blowing with full force, but it
will likely need a Freon charge to bring it back up to speed.
Ample power comes via the 350 cubic inch V8 impeccably dressed
inside a well-organized engine bay, surrounded by fresh-looking
components and new hoses and wires. Armed with an upgraded 4 barrel
carb and an Edelbrock Performer EPS intake manifold, this 350 is
one very eager powerplant that's running in top form, sending a
nice, deep note out of the short tube headers leading to its dual
exhaust as it teams with a smooth shifting 3-speed automatic TH350
transmission. An electronic ignition and Taylor ignition wires have
also been added to improve all-weather performance and maximize
available spark. From all indications, this is a drivetrain that's
been well cared for and equips this vintage truck with a
road-readiness that's truly hard to come by in this niche. Power
steering further ups the driving experience this well-configured
truck offers as it cruises on a set of 15" black American Torq
thrust wheels.
With its outstanding curb appeal and upgraded, strong running
drivetrain, this 1955 Chevrolet 3100 Big Window (3) is a sterling
example of restomodding done right. Call today!
