For Sale: 1955 Chevrolet 3100 in Columbus, Ohio

Cruisin Classics is pleased to present to you this 1955 Chevrolet 3100. This truck represents the first year of Chevrolet's Task Force series, and it's quite a nice example. Some of the previous owners have made pretty significant investments in this beauty to get it to where it is today. This 3100 comes to us today dressed in a high-quality coat of dark blue-grey paint that looks simply spectacular on it. We know from receipts that come with the truck that in 2015, a Columbus, Ohio, company called Classic Resurrection took the cab off of the frame, put on new doors and fenders, fixed the inner and outer cab corners and part of the floor, sandblasted it, and prepped it for paint (about $20K of work!). We don't have receipts for the new paint and we assume that it may have been done by the owner at the time. We do know that the result is a great-looking paint job on a solid body with better panel fitment than you'll find on most trucks of this genre. At the front end, this 3100 features a gleaming chrome eggcrate grille and bumper with single round headlights in bright bezels on the fenders. The hood badge has been deleted for a clean look. Bright wiper arms and elegantly curved dual chrome side mirrors add to the sparkle. Around the side, you'll see that the "3100" fender badges have also been deleted, and only a "V8" badge remains. Brightwork continues on the sides with door handles, the gas cap, and trim that frames the windows and wraps all the way around the back of the cab. Adding yet more pop to the side view are a set of 5-slot chrome rally wheels with "Chevrolet Motor Division" centercaps. Tires are staggered with Cooper Cobra Radial GT's (255 60 R15) up front and Hankook Ventus H101's (275 60 R15) on the rear. Around back is a beautiful wood bed with bright dividers, a "CHEVROLET" tailgate, chrome taillight housings, and another nice chrome bumper.

Hiding under the bulbous hood is a tidy black engine bay that's home to a black GM 350ci V-8 crate motor. The V-8 is topped off with aluminum valve covers, a black Edelbrock Performer EPS intake, an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor, and a black Edelbrock air cleaner. Additionally, there's a black alternator and power steering. Exhaust travels through Sanderson headers and Flowmaster mufflers before emptying behind the rear tires with a satisfying rumble. The V-8 is mated to a TH350 3-speed automatic transmission that shifts smoothly and puts power to the rubber in the rear via a 10-bolt differential. Stopping power comes courtesy of power front discs and rear drums with a CPP booster, master cylinder, and proportioning valve.

When you open the driver's door, both overhead and underdash courtesy lights pop on to give you a look at the very nice black and grey interior. The grey painted doors are simplistic, with black armrests, handles, and window cranks. Step inside and have a seat on the high-quality black vinyl bench, complete with seatbelts. Underfoot is black hook & loop carpet with carpeted mats, and overhead is a black textured plastic headliner. Ahead of the driver is a 3-spoke black-ringed steering wheel with a working "bowtie" horn button on a tilt column. Beyond the wheel is a grey painted dash that features a great-looking chrome-framed V-shaped gauge cluster from Classic Instruments ($1,049 new!). It offers gauges for temp, volts, oil, and fuel as well as a 140mph speedometer and 8K tach. The odometer reads 1,112, and the title says that those are discrepancy miles (probably the mileage since the build was completed). The remainder of the dash has quite a few knobs and accessories that are inoperative - like the manual choke and cigarette lighter. In the center of the dashboard, there is an AM radio that lights up red but does not work, and no speakers appear to be present. Though there are wiper arms and blades, they don't currently operate. Further to the right are heater and fan controls that are also inoperative. Directly ahead of the passenger is a glovebox with a key. Under the das,h you'll find an old-school hand-pull e-brake lever and working vent pulls that let some additional fresh air into the cab.

If you're looking for a cool-looking 50's truck with tons of style that won't break the bank, you're going to want to check this Chevy 3100 out! All the hard work has been done, and it's ready to start enjoying immediately - allowing you the ability to finish up the several inoperative features over time. I can imagine a future owner adding Vintage Air & Heat, a killer stereo, and working wipers to this truck and really taking it to the next level! This is a great-looking and driving truck that does not disappoint on the road! Give our friendly staff a call today because at this price, it surely won't be here for long!
