1955 Chevy 3100 half ton short bed pickup with the desirable big back window and a 1957 hood. Clean, straight, solid truck just needing finishing. A magnet was stuck all over this entire body-it is very solid; the only places I can find where work was done were the very lower cab corners, but these areas are finished, and appear good and well done, and I also found that the step areas when the doors are opened have been repaired, but both sides are still very solid. There may be other areas where the magnet sticks which have had minor work done. The paint is just a satin Heritage red, nothing fancy. It probably looks better in the pictures than it actually does. It has new VERY nice grey heavy vinyl upholstery and new grey carpeting. The engine is a strong running 350 (the motor is a VP code 350 cubic inch, 4 bolt main, crate motor), with a Turbo 400 automatic transmission. I just started it up, and it sounds like it has a vacuum leak at the base of the (quadrajet) carburetor. Idles fine, but when you give it throttle, it's running too lean. I'm going to replace the carb gaskets tomorrow. Because of health reasons, I haven't been able to accomplish as much as I've wanted to do to finish this truck. Most of the no-fun stuff has already been done. This truck still needs tinkering, but with my health concerns, I may not be able to do most of the things needing to be done. I'll list below what has been done, as well as what is still needed.... Work done, a new parts installed, etc.: Restored instrument cluster, new gas tank, restored window regulators, new inside door mechanisms, tilt column installed, beautiful new seat upholstery and new carpeting, new windshield installed, new glove box (needs installing), new door weatherstripping and window fuzzies (need installing), new exhaust, new rear fender welting (needs installing), new 1 wire alternator, plus the following NEW chrome parts already installed: Front bumper, rear bumper, grill, headlight bezels, tail lights, parking lights, windshield wiper bezels, tail gate chains, exterior door handles, window cranks and door handles, etc. Still needs to be done: Wiring the lights, horn, etc. (all the wires are labeled from the instrument cluster; wiring is done to start and run motor), bleed and/or fix the brakes, fix emergency brake (needs front cable), install door weatherstripping and window fuzzies (included), level the bed, and some other things. This is a very good, solid, very desirable body style pickup, just needing a few things finished- Almost all of the no fun stuff has been done. Call me (Joe) with any questions you may have at 801 455-2467 or 801 571-8580. A paypal non-refundable deposit of $500 would be appreciated, with the balance paid by bank wire transfer or cash in person. Check my feedbacks. I don't want anyone disappointed with any purchase made. This truck is certainly not perfect, there is still some tinkering to do, but it is a good solid start on a very desirable body style. Feel free to call me at 801 455 2467 (cell) or 801 571 8580 (home). Thanks, Joe.
