This 1955 Chevrolet 3100 belongs to a limited production run, manufactured only for half the model year before its successor took over. Its distinctive grille design marks the final evolution of the Advance Design truck era. The dark green paint job with crisp white accents gives this pickup a subtle hot rod aesthetic that differentiates it from typical farm trucks. Rolling on 215/75R15 tires mounted on 15" wheels, it boasts a solid stance, while blue-dot taillights and polished exhaust tips add extra visual appeal.
The cab interior showcases a straightforward approach to classic trucking. A black vinyl bench seat provides comfortable seating for cruising. The green dashboard, enhanced with white pinstriping and a bold Chevrolet logo, creates a striking contrast. An original steering wheel with a single hairline crack emphasizes the truck's authenticity, while a secondary horn mounted under the dash adds a custom touch without compromising the vintage feel.
The 261 cubic inch inline-six engine features dual single-barrel Rochester carburetors on an Offenhauser intake manifold. Fenton headers feed into a true dual exhaust system, giving this workhorse a distinctive sound. The 3-speed manual transmission and a 3.90 rear axle ratio deliver a driving experience faithful to the era. Leaf spring suspension and drum brakes maintain this classic truck's period-correct road manners.
