1955 Chevrolet Stepside, Deluxe Cab Big Rear Window, 1/2 Ton 3100 Pickup

If you are looking for a late 50's truck that is stock and that turns heads wherever it goes. this is your chance. You will not find a better looking. more tastefully re-conditioned pick-up from this era than this one. It was not re-built to enter into concours competitions. it was built to be driven and enjoyed. If all you want is a truck to trailer around the country and show off at car meets. I suggest you look elsewhere. If you want to drive to the meet and allow the truck to show itself off all the way there and all the way back then I suggest you start bidding. as this is the one for you. I bought it in 2010 from the grandson of the original. farmer owner. I have had great fun with it but want to start riding again so am selling it to by a bike. Details : 1955 “2nd Series Model - Everything is stock on the truck except the engine and transmission. which was changed as I wanted to run down the road when I wanted to without worrying. Big Rear Window – Only a few stepsides in '55 were built with the Deluxe cab featuring a full wrap around rear window. A much better looking vehicle than the small rear window models. Engine - It has a short block 350 engine. completely built up with new parts. Headers - Hedman Headers with 3 inch tailpipes and flowmaster mufflers. Carburettor - Carter 625 cfm with Electric Choke Intake Manifold - Edelbrock Aluminium Transmission - The R700 four speed column auto. transmission is adjusted to match the Stock 411 rear end.

Audio - Audiosound am/fm/MP3 made for the original radio cutout with floor speakers - great sound; when cranked up it is more than you can handle in the confines of such a small cab. Body work - body off paint job. nbsp; new hub caps. all the chrome on the grille and bumpers re-chromed. Also put new windows with new chrome on the window seals. Did not replace the big rear window as this perfect. Trailer Hitch - I have a hidden receiver behind the license plate.

It has been seven years since it had its body-off re-spray and as evident in the pictures (taken on 21st September 2014) it is still in great condition. It can be collected (from Athens. GA) or I will arrange shipping to anywhere in the world at the buyers expense.
