Here's a custom vintage truck that's sure to turn heads on the boulevard. This 1955 Chevrolet 3100 not only features a killer, high-impact exterior, but it also bears a lineup of top-tier components to provide it with impressive yet dependable performance and a great driving experience for its next lucky owner.
The bright yellow shade this Chevy carries looks flat out awesome. It's not only an attention getter from afar, but as you draw closer, the quality of its application becomes even more evident - it has excellent color consistency and a smooth texture from front to back to go with its great shine. Some well-executed modifications give this classic pickup a look that stands right out in a crowd while avoiding the appearance that someone went overboard and performed automotive origami. From the front, you can see the headlights have been reimagined as they loom deep-set over a show-stopping custom front grille. Swing around to the side, and you'll see that the modified rear fenders blend perfectly with the rest of the truck and that the body panels are fitted exceptionally well to create perfect lines. Continue to the back to appreciate the craftsmanship that went into the modified tailgate area, with its deleted gate, customized taillights and the tips of its quad exhaust peering out just the right amount from below.
The interior is no less impressive. A pair of modern-looking black and gray bucket seats fit perfectly inside the cabin, and they have a fresh look on their Katzkin leather surfaces that reflects the light usage they've seen. They're flanked by door panels with patterns that incorporate the colors of the seating to great effect, with a very clean-looking expanse of carpeting sitting below. The dash area has been masterfully reworked to create a dramatic, minimalist appearance that's both nostalgic and futuristic at the same time, with its signature fan-shaped instrument cluster that Chevys of this era became so known for decked out in chrome and featuring a set of white-faced Dolphin gauges. Four well-placed vents reside in the brushed aluminum accent below to bring heated or cooled air into the cabin as needed. The Grant steering wheel sitting on top of a tilt column looks great in this environment and power windows are a welcome addition. The bed area looks very sharp, with well-prepped wood planks lining its floor.
With all the aesthetic work that went into this vintage Chevrolet, it may seem that the intent was to create an audience magnet to sit atop a turntable at car shows, but it's perfectly configured for high-performance yet comfortable driving, as well. A 350 cubic inch V8 sits in just the stunner of an engine bay you'd expect from everything else this truck features. Equipped with a Comp Cam, Edelbrock intake and a Holley QFT carb that sits inside a custom air cleaner painted to match the surrounding walls of the compartment, the engine carries 400 horsepower and sounds great as it breathes into its ceramic coated Hooker headers. A 4-speed 700r4 transmission and 3.73 ratio posi rear end are perfect complements to the powerplant, offering a combination of strong acceleration and conveniently low top end revs in highway conditions. Power brakes - with discs in front - as well as power steering, combine to give this truck street manners that make it an absolute pleasure to drive. This outstanding modded Chevy classic sits on a set of Coys wheels - 20" in front and 22" in back - wrapped with Nitto low-profile tires.
