Vehicle Detail
Some kook hit the buy it now and then cancelled so I am relisting my beautiful 1955 Chevrolet big window shortbed 3100 pickup , Los angeles built and always stayed nearby . I could not believe how solid and rustfree this truck was when I went to look at it ! Previous owner told me it had been stored in his wherehouse for over 30 years , hinge pockets , floor , cab corners , totally solid where these are usually rusty ! He had just installed a nice 350 with headers , new 4 barrel carb., aluminum radiator , new battery , new alternator , 700R4 trans with Lokar shifter and new exhaust . I completely disassembled the truck , glass out , bed off etc. and had it professionally media blasted to bare metal . Had a beautiful 2 stage paint job done 2 tone green and white , color sanded and buffed . All told I spent close to $8000 for blasting and paintwork . Installed all new factory green tint glass with all new rubber and polished trim . Custom stained and spar varnished bedwood kit with new polished stainless strips and hardware . Chip guard on inside of bed before paint . All brand new bumpers, grille , emblems , moldings , door handles , tailights etc. etc. Brand new steering wheel , seat very nicely redone , new headliner , new speedometer , gas gauge , sending unit and bezel , new aux. temp. oil pressure and amps guages in white , new chrome dash knobs , handles and cranks , new stock rubber floor mat , new weatherstripping and lots of new stainless hardware . New wiring harness , all lights working . I wanted kind of an old school hot rod look , I installed 3" drop Posies springs in the front and 2" drop in the rear . If you want it stock I will reinstall the stock parts or include them if you like . Stock 15" clip wheels on brand new Coker wide whites , new stock caps and rings . Nice finned vintage style valve covers . It runs , drives , steers , stops , shifts and looks great ! Steers very easy , rides nice and gets compliments like you wouldn't believe !!! Before paint with the bed off I pressure washed it underneath and shot it with chassis black paint and undercoating . I have clean , clear Ca. title in my name and it is currently registered on black plates that say "55 TASK" because Chevrolet named this body style "TASK FORCE" when they switched over from the previous " ADVANCED DESIGN " series . In my opinion these were some of the best looking trucks ever made . I have a 2016 Silverado which I thought was very nice looking , until I parked the 55 next to it ! It has 1 mile on the new speedometer and the whole truck since paint and everything , not sure how many on the truck but I will include the old speedometer/odometer with the truck . It is not a flawless $100,000 restoration , but a very nice looking driver indeed ! Please have it inspected and ask any questions before bidding . Sold as is , full payment in 3 days by bank wire transfer only . I can deliver it to L.A. for $250 after receiving payment in full if you would like to export it or whatever . I reserve the right to end the auction at any time if a deal is struck . Thank you .

I think the deluxe system runs about $1500 , if you don't want it , deduct $1500 from the buy it now price and it becomes $33,455.55 .
