Retro cool meets modern swank in this 1955 Chevrolet 3100 Restomod, a pickup with a story to tell and power to share. Once an Arizona farm truck, it now boasts a striking blue and white exterior, wrapped in a fresh matte finish that speaks volumes of its journey. Adorned with sparkling new chrome that hugs its curves like a tailored suit, and positioned assertively on 17" U.S. Mags, it exudes confidence. The ride is further sweetened by General tires, practically new with fewer than 100 miles treaded, and illuminated by nice, clear headlights that pierce the night with ease. This truck seamlessly blends its workhorse roots with a flair that commands attention on the modern streets.
The interior of this Chevrolet is a tan in vintage vibes and modern conveniences. Slide behind the Grant steering wheel mounted on a tilt column, and you'll find yourself in command of a well restored cockpit. New carpet underfoot and a high-quality seat cover cradle you in comfort, while the dash, painted to match the truck's exterior, houses an artful blend of digital and analogue gauges and a vintage-looking AM/FM radio unit, ensuring that the soundtrack to your drives is always on point.
What truly makes this Restomod roar: a meticulously fine-tuned 5.3L V8 engine, a full 5.3 LS engine and a 4L65 transmission swap, bolstered by a recent dyno session at Sloan's in Jasper, TN, which confirmed 365hp and 360lbft at the wheels, translating to roughly 425 horsepower at the crank. Cooling is handled by an aluminum radiator paired with an electric fan, ensuring optimal performance under the hood, while Ridetech rear shocks with a '78 Camaro front subframe smooth out the ride. A trans cooler, power steering, and power disc brakes on both front and rear wheels further refine the driving experience.
