When it comes to vintage American pickups, few stand as tall as this 1955 Chevrolet 3100. Its bright red exterior catches your eye immediately, sitting on 15-inch wheels wrapped in 235/70R15 tires, it ensures that the ride is as smooth as it is capable. The tailgate, a custom smoothed piece, adds a unique touch, while the minimal brightwork keeps it tastefully simple. Painted bumpers and headlight bezels give this truck a modern yet classic appeal.
Inside, the black vinyl bench seat and matching door panels are both stylish and practical. The interior features a mostly original style with a few modern additions, such as a cooling fan and oil pressure sensor. The rubber floor matting and added temperature gauge enhance its functionality without losing its vintage feel. Manual steering keeps things old-school, but the added tachometer brings a hint of modern precision to your driving experience.
Powering this 3100 is a 327 cubic inch V8 engine, a significant upgrade from the original inline-six. Rebuilt about 10,000 miles ago, it breathes through an Edelbrock intake topped with a Quadrajet 4-barrel carburetor. The four-speed manual transmission channels power to the rear wheels, while drum brakes at all corners provide stopping power. The dual exhaust system likely gives this pickup a throaty growl befitting its muscular powerplant.
