This little beauty has just gone through a complete frame off restorations except for the cab. Current owner has had the truck for over 35 years. It is a Series 1 1955 which is the last of the 1954s built, but titled as 1955. Prior to the restoration is was a Texas rust free truck. When old trucks are finished out right they will blow any low down hotrod away. Usually you're either a car guy or truck guy but this classic may be one to change your mind. This classic 1955 Chevrolet 5 Window Pickup combines original touches with customizations to create an awesome look. The numbers matching truck underwent a complete restoration where nothing was left untouched. Every nut & bolt wasa replaced with stainless. The body is very straight and entirely rust free. It is coated in Silver and Purple Prowler paint that look great next to each other. The upper layer was laid down very well accenting the body lines perfectly. The rear bumper has been removed and fitted with a custom roll pan. The front bumper just replaced and has a great shine. That classic large grill is a lot of chrome but don't worry because every inch shines like a mirror. You will also find this same great shining chrome around the headlights, window trim, hood trim, and door handles. The rear taillights are the teardrop style you would typically see on a 39 Ford. All of the glass including sides, front, and rear is brand new and is crystal clear. The rear tailgate has been replaced with a custom smoothed tailgate that provided for a great look from the rear. The rear bed was gone through in the restoration process with all the polished stainless and oak wood being replaced. The truck has a great look and rides on a set of new chrome reverse dog dish wheels wrapped with brand new tires. The spare also received a new tire and is topped with a custom hard spare tire cover. The engine getting this classic down the road is a 235 6 cylinder that has been bored .30 over. It was entirely professionally rebuilt to the original style specs and runs very well. These motors are great because it has plenty of power to get this truck moving but will be a little more forgiving when you pull up to the gas pump. The block, transmission, manifold, and valve covers are all coated in blue with "Thriftmaster 235" in yellow. All of the hoses and wires are cleanly routed and nicely mounted through the engine compartment. The 6 volt system now utilizes an 8 volt battery for extra power for the electrical system. The entire rebuild of the car is fresh only being about 50 miles old out of the total 30,644 original miles on the truck. The entire exhaust system from the manifold to the chrome tips is entirely new. The manual transmission utilizes a column shift and is very fun to drive once you get the hang of it. The interior on this truck is very nicely finished out and extremely comfortable. The bench seat is topped Silver with Purple inserts and look really great matching the exterior colors. The door panels are done in a similar way in Purple with Silver inserts and a Silver arm rest. All of the door hardware is chrome and mounted nicely in place. The dash is painted in matching Purple and looks very good. The original style Black face gauges are in place and are mounted in polished bezels. This is a very well done truck that gets looks no matter where you drive it. You will be getting the "thumbs up" from all sides as you are cruising around town. It shows very well and has no problem taking home a trophy. Don't let this nicely done custom slip away. SOLD - PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR OTHER CARS!!
