The 1955 Chevrolet 3100 Second Series is a highly coveted classic
truck that marked a massive mid-year redesign for General Motors.
Introduced in March 1955 as part of the new Task Force line, this
truck replaced the older "Advance Design" series. The "3100"
designation indicates it is a half-ton short-bed pickup (typically
with a 6.5-foot box). The second series is famous for introducing a
modern wraparound windshield, a 12-volt electrical system,
available V8 power, and concealed running boards.Key
specifications, identifying features, and market data for the 1955
Second Series 3100 include:- Grille & Headlights: Features a
distinct "egg-crate" grille design (similar to 1955 Chevy passenger
cars) with single headlights mounted in the fenders.- Glass: First
truck in the industry to offer a wraparound windshield. Deluxe cabs

Completely smoothed-out cab and bedsides with hidden running

modified restomod Chevrolet 3100 has been in the Duncan Imports
