This 1955 Chevrolet 3100 Stepside Pickup represents a
no-expense-spared, professionally executed resto-mod that blends
classic Task Force styling with modern performance, comfort, and
road manners. Built to an exceptionally high standard with over
$140,000 invested, this truck was clearly designed to be both a
showpiece and a confident, enjoyable driver, standing far apart
from typical modified pickups.
Under the hood sits a strong-running 350ci V8 paired with a
smooth-shifting four-speed automatic transmission, delivering
reliable power that's perfectly suited for cruising or spirited
driving. The drivetrain is backed by a stout 12-bolt rear end with
3.73 gears, giving the truck excellent acceleration while still
maintaining road-friendly gearing. Dual exhaust adds the proper
tone, and the engine bay is finished with a custom air cleaner and
detailing that reflects the quality of the overall build.
The chassis has been comprehensively upgraded to modern standards,
featuring a Mustang II-style independent front suspension and a
rear four-link setup with adjustable coilovers. Power
rack-and-pinion steering and power-assisted front disc brakes with
a hidden booster provide confident handling and braking, while rear
drum brakes maintain balance and drivability. The result is a truck
that feels planted, responsive, and far more refined than any stock
'55 ever could.
Visually, the truck is finished in a striking Pearl Orange paint
that highlights every curve of the iconic Stepside body. The stance
is aggressive yet tasteful, thanks to staggered Billet Specialties
wheels measuring 18 inches up front and 20 inches in the rear,
wrapped in performance tires that fill the wheel wells perfectly.
The wood bed with chrome rails is beautifully finished, adding
warmth and classic detail to the rear while remaining fully
show-worthy. The undercarriage is detailed to the same high level,
reinforcing the quality and care invested throughout the build.
Inside, the custom beige and brown leather interior elevates the
truck into true high-end resto-mod territory. Chrysler 200-sourced
bucket seats provide modern comfort and support, complemented by a
Lokar floor shifter, Westach gauges, and a thoughtfully integrated
retro radio cassette stereo. Air conditioning ensures comfort in
any climate, making this truck just as enjoyable on long drives as
it is on the show field. Every element of the cabin feels cohesive,
upscale, and purposefully selected to blend classic style with
modern usability.
This 1955 Chevrolet 3100 is a turn-key, show-ready resto-mod that
delivers striking looks, modern performance, and premium
craftsmanship in equal measure. Whether displayed at events, driven
on weekends, or added to a serious collection, it stands as a prime
example of how a vintage pickup can be transformed into a high-end
custom without losing its soul.
