Overview of 1955 Chevrolet 3100 5 Window Pickup For Sale by Owner

The pickup truck is among the most significant American icons there is, and it truly came into full stride in the '50s. They were reliable, dependable, and got the job done, the perfect vehicle for the hardworking Americans out there to make a name for themselves. The pickup truck's design hasn't changed over the past half-century, and there's a reason for that. Chevrolet's take on this iconic vehicle came in different iterations, among which the 3100 quickly rose to popularity with its stylish looks and amazing creature comforts for its time. This particular 5-window 3100 pickup is still going strong after it left the factory nearly 70 years ago, with some new life breathed into it with a complete frame-off restoration done in 2012, according to the current owner. While maintaining the original aesthetics that made the 3100 so popular, this particular truck comes with a variety of upgrades to improve on what Chevrolet first rolled out of the factory. Now, this iconic truck is up for grabs, an irresistible offer that is worth investing in.

Exterior and Interior

Departing from the barebones utilitarianism that previous trucks sported, the 3100 tapped into the growing demand for a touch of glamour and beauty people had for pickup trucks. With a front that looks a lot like a passenger car, the 3100 comes with soft curves, touches of shiny chrome, and striking whitewall tires. This particular 3100 retains all this, with a striking green exterior and a new paint job that was also done in 2012. It also comes with new door panels, glass parts and wooden bed bring, as well as new chrome parts, according to the current owner, who also notes that the truck comes with the original Chevrolet rear end and wheels. Inside, you'll find the new white and brown interior is comfortable, and simply a joy to be in. Nothing has been done to break the original look and feel of the space, although it comes with a new dashboard and headliner, as well as a new brown interior bench seat and heating system for added comfort.

Engine

The engine also comes with a modern refresh. The Thriftmaster 235ci Inline-6 engine was rebuilt less than 1,200 miles ago, according to the current owner, and comes with all-new wiring as well. The engine reportedly has undergone a recent oil change and is paired with a manual transmission to deliver power to the wheels, reliably and with ample horsepower.
