Telling someone you have a '55 Chevy will always bring about a bit of curiosity from enthusiasts. But, when you drive up in this 1955 Chevy 3100 restomod pickup truck, you're sure to incite a frenzy of photos and questions from anyone in the area. Titled as a 1958 model, this truck sports a '55 front end and cab, which, for all intents and purposes, makes it more the earlier model than the later. Fully repainted in this head-turning Corvette Torch Red finish, this pickup has less than 7,000 miles on it since its restoration.
Inside, we find a body-color dashboard, door trim, and rear window frame, while a tan late model C1500 bench seat offers an upgrade in comfort from the original seats this truck came with. A three-spoke, wood-rimmed Grant GT steering wheel sits just ahead of a trick set of Omega Kustom Instruments gauge cluster, while the Vintage brand air conditioning is in place, and ready to blow cold once it has been serviced. A Pioneer CD/DVD/Bluetooth head unit takes charge of all things infotainment, making use of its Infinity by Harmon speakers and four-channel Alpine amp to make sure the sounds emanating from the stereo are at least as fun as those coming from under the expansive red hood in front of you.
Under that hood, we find a clean, body-color engine bay. At the heart of this beast is a Blueprint 383 cubic-inch crate motor, complete with FiTech fuel injection and Edelbrock intake helping this engine feed, while a set of long tube headers and glass pack mufflers allow it to exhale with authority. The packet from Blueprint shows that this motor dynoed at an impressive 437 horsepower and 457 pound-feet of torque. That power is routed through a new TCI 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission before being sent out to the ten-bolt rear, where a set of polished 15-inch American Racing Torq Thrust II wheels wait shod in 245/60R-15 Cooper rubber to put those ponies to the pavement.

Receipts
Not just built as a straight-line boulevard bruiser, this 1955 Chevrolet 3100 rides on a tubular A-arm front suspension featuring adjustable QA1 coilovers in front, with a solid axle, traditional leaf springs, and shock out back, all stiffened up by heavy-duty sway bars at both ends. When it comes time to slow down, a set of Wilwood power disc brakes help rein in all that power at a moment's notice. If you've always wanted a classic Chevy, but maybe one that isn't quite what most people would expect when they hear that, this pickup truck is exactly what you've been waiting for. Not only does it redefine what it means to be a '55 Chevy, but this pickup will also make you rethink exactly what it means to 'haul.' Don't wait, call today!
*As mentioned above, this truck is titled as a 1958 with a 1958 frame and bed and a 1955 cab and front end.
