Featured on AutoHunter, the online auction platform driven by ClassicCars.com, is this 1955 Chevrolet 3100. It is powered by a Thriftmaster 235.5ci straight-six, which is paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Finished in Commercial Red over a black and white vinyl interior, this restored and garage-kept Stepside pickup is now offered by the selling dealer with spare keys and a clear title.
The Commercial Red body is accented with chrome bumpers and brightwork. Behind the cab is a Stepside bed with a wood plank floor. Exterior features include dual side mirrors, a cab-mounted fuel cap, and a spare tire mounted on the driver’s side of the bed. According to the selling dealer, there are paint scuffs and scratches on the truck bed, tailgate, and bed rails.
This truck rides on a set of body-color 15-inch wheels equipped with Chevrolet center caps, chrome trim rings, and 7.10-15 Firestone Deluxe Champion whitewall tires.
Inside the single cab is a bench seat upholstered in black and white vinyl. Behind that is the truck’s fuel tank. Features include manual windows, a three-spoke steering wheel, a factory AM radio, and a floor-mounted manual shifter.
Vehicle information is shown on a 100-mph speedometer and gauges for the temperature, amperage, oil pressure, and fuel level. The odometer shows 5,374 miles, but the true mileage on this vehicle is unknown.
The Thriftmaster 235.5ci I6 was factory-rated at 123 gross horsepower (109 net) and 207 lb-ft of torque (gross). It comes equipped with a single-barrel carburetor and a dual exhaust system and channels its output to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual gearbox.
A set of manual drum brakes brings this classic pickup to a stop. Expect heads to turn at every red light because this truck will get attention wherever you end up taking it.
