This 1955 Chevrolet 3100 Big Window Restomod sports a Sun Gleam
Blue metallic finish that's been aging gracefully for nearly five
decades. The 48-year-old lacquer paint gives this truck a look you
can't buy off the shelf. Its big black windows amplify the classic
profile, while the wooden bed adds a touch of craftsmanship. Chrome
17-inch American Racing wheels, wrapped in BFGoodrich Long Trail
T/A tires (235/75R17), provide a modern stance. Custom touches like
the relocated gas tank under the bed and 3100 badging showcases
this build's attention to detail.
Black and white dominate the interior, creating a bold contrast.
The split bench seat, borrowed from a '62 Continental, offers power
adjustment and a fold-down armrest for long-haul comfort. Classic
Instrument gauges keep tabs on the vitals, while a chrome
aftermarket tilt steering column adds a custom touch. Vintage AC
keeps things cool when the mercury rises. An AM/FM/AUX stereo pumps
tunes through aftermarket lower kick panel speakers, giving you
soundtrack control. Over-the-shoulder belts add a measure of safety
without compromising the classic look.
A GM Crate 5.7L 350 Ram Jet V8 powers this restomod, mated to a
700R4 4-speed automatic transmission. The engine exhales through
stock-style manifolds and a FlowMaster muffler, producing a
satisfying rumble. Up front, a Mustang II suspension with rack and
pinion steering improves handling, while leaf springs and air
shocks in the rear maintain that classic truck feel. Power steering
and brakes make this big window 3100 easy to maneuver. A GM 10-bolt
rear end puts the power down, and an aluminum radiator with a large
electric fan keeps temperatures in check, even on the hottest
days.
