For Sale: 1955 Chevrolet 3100 in Lavergne, Tennessee

When it comes to vintage American pickups, few stand as tall as this 1955 Chevrolet 3100. Its bright red exterior catches your eye immediately, sitting on 15-inch wheels wrapped in 235/70R15 tires, it ensures that the ride is as smooth as it is capable. The tailgate, a custom smoothed piece, adds a unique touch, while the minimal brightwork keeps it tastefully simple. Painted bumpers and headlight bezels give this truck a modern yet classic appeal.

Inside, the black vinyl bench seat and matching door panels are both stylish and practical. The interior features a mostly original style with a few modern additions, such as a cooling fan and oil pressure sensor. The rubber floor matting and added temperature gauge enhance its functionality without losing its vintage feel. Manual steering keeps things old-school, but the added tachometer brings a hint of modern precision to your driving experience.

Powering this 3100 is a 327 cubic inch V8 engine, a significant upgrade from the original inline-six. Rebuilt about 10,000 miles ago, it breathes through an Edelbrock intake topped with a Quadrajet 4-barrel carburetor. The four-speed manual transmission channels power to the rear wheels, while drum brakes at all corners provide stopping power. The dual exhaust system likely gives this pickup a throaty growl befitting its muscular powerplant.
