stunning fashion, as it is a recipient to one AMAZING BUILD! Over
$100K spent on a frame off restoration with full documentation and
this truck comes from a good local friend who had nothing but the
best local builders involved with this GMC. This first-series 1955
GMC 100 five-window, half-ton Pickup Restomod will evoke all of
that and more. A 2012-2013 custom build, it all started with a
frame by Fat-Man Fabrications in Charlotte, North Carolina. This
example was originally manufactured in GM?s Pontiac, Michigan
factory (VIN code P). Other chassis modifications and features
include ? independent front suspension and power rack-and-pinion
steering box from a second-generation Ford Mustang II; a Walker
Radiator with condenser; a four-link rear suspension with a Panhard
rod; coilovers at all four corners; 11-inch front disc and rear
drum brakes from a third-generation Chevrolet Camaro; a 16-gallon
fuel tank between frame rails and a cool cap in bed. Dressed in PPG
Paint?s Perfect Purple Metallic from Automotive Unlimited, Inc., in
St. Louis, Missouri, the truck?s paint and trim are in excellent
order. The hood, front and rear fenders are all stock 1955 GMC
panels while the grille has been re-chromed by Highline Platin,
Inc. in Cuba, Missouri. There?s a side-mounted spare tire and wheel
on the driver?s side. Out back, the cargo bed floor has been
retrofitted with ash wood beams and stainless steel strips and
bolts from Bruce Horkey. Tailgate graphics and pin striping come
from Pfitzinger Graphics in Fenton, Missouri. The truck?s head and
taillights are stock, as are the sideview mirrors. The front and
rear chrome bumpers are classic Chevrolet chrome. There?s even an
external sun visor. This truck rolls on BFGoodrich Radial T/As,
size 215/70R15 in front and 255/70R15 in rear. Each tire is mounted
to an American Eagle alloy wheel, 15x7 in front and 15x8 in rear.
The wheels are in excellent condition while the tires are in very
good order with good tread depth. Under the hood is a General
Motors 350 CID crate V-8 engine that makes 330 horsepower with a
billet serpentine conversion kit; Edelbrock Durashine 650 CFM
carburetor and intake manifold; GM 10SI/12SI alternator; Saginaw
power steering pump; Sanden 508 air-conditioning compressor; Vortec
aluminum heads; High-energy electronic ignition; Sandersen headers;
three-inch exhausts with Dynomax Turbo Mufflers with side exit
tailpipes from Stu?s Classic Car Care in Hillsboro, Missouri, and
more. Backing the motor is a rebuilt 2012 GM 700R4 four-speed
automatic transmission from Tosti?s Transmission in Fenton,
Missouri, and a Ford nine-inch rear end with a 3.00:1 differential.
The truck reportedly cruises at 60 mph with the tachometer at 2,300
rpms. Driver convenience features include vintage slimline
air-conditioning with AC/Heat/Defrost from Stu?s Classic Car Care
in Hillsboro, Missouri, power rack-and-pinion steering and power
disc/drum brakes. Inside, the truck?s cab has a stock 1955
instrument panel, painted to match the exterior, and it has a full
array of Autometer?s Old Tyme White II gauges. A chrome billet
Outlaw three-spoke steering wheel is mounted on a chrome Ididit
steering column with tilt and a column-mounted shifter. There is a
pair of cupholders in the center console and working courtesy
lights. Covering the stock bench seat is gray leatherette from Auto
Designs by Sebastian, Inc., in Waterloo, Illinois. The
complementing gray carpet is also from Auto Designs. Completing the
interior is a Kenwood AM/FM stereo with a CD player. These trucks
marked a change in attitude and usage in the mid-1950s when
Chevrolet launched the Cameo Carrier, which was more of a styling
statement than a farm or work truck. As the 1950s became the 1960s,
the trend of trucks as personal vehicles grew. This particular
restomod truck is a further extension of that philosophy.
Documentation includes miscellaneous insurance and maintenance
forms. Truck collectors, classic Chevy collectors or anyone who
simply desires a cool pickup to cruise in, should stop by
