Vehicle Description

Vehicle Original VIN : 0036727F55M
There is something about a classic pickup that speaks to simpler summers, open roads, and the kind of pride only a well-kept vintage truck can deliver. This 1955 Chevrolet 3100 5 Window captures that feeling with bright red paint, chrome that still commands attention, and the kind of presence that turns heads wherever it goes. It wears its restoration work with confidence, so if you have been looking for a straightforward, driver-friendly classic with period correct drivetrain and utility, this vintage Chevy is worth a closer look.
Slide inside and you are greeted by an interior that was finished to maintain an authentic period look. The seats, door panels and headliner present with minimal wear and the dash and controls are tidy and inviting. The wood bed floor was replaced during the restoration and under dash air conditioning was added for comfort, though the blower currently needs servicing to cool properly. Overall, the cabin is very well kept and ready for enjoyment.
Under the hood sits the original style 235 cubic inch inline six, paired with a very rare and period correct Dual-Range Hydramatic 4-speed automatic transmission with a column shifter. The truck benefits from period correct upgrades including an alternator and an electronic distributor to improve reliability for modern use. The drivetrain was serviced as part of the 2010 restoration and the chassis retains its straight axle front, solid rear axle with leaf springs and 16 inch wheels shod with 6.00-R16 tires. Braking is original style drum front and rear, and the 10 bolt rear axle is fitted to handle everyday driving.
