Selection of the day: Chevrolet 3100 pickup in 1955

“Rail pillow.” Usually, this means Vehicles seem to have inventory but hidden under the hood. Our choice was the 1955 Chevrolet 3100 released on the 1955 Chevrolet 3100 released on the Classiccars.com. In this sense, this is undoubtedly a sleeper, but it is also another big sleeper.

In the 1955 model, Chevrolet transformed from the first series of high -end design trucks in 1955 to the second series, which is part of the new work team lineup. For the decades since then, this specific 3100 has not been elegant. Once, this seems to be the relic of the babies after the Second World War. Then, Cleveland, Canada’s new Bai Rikland design, mastered it and turned it into a visual “sleeper”. At first glance, it has a variety of upgrades and modern styles.

After the handicrafts designed by Cleveland dismantled the classic truck, they replaced the old bones with the killer HOTRODS chassis and lubricated and repaired with black. The inventory suspension is also abandoned, which is conducive to the tube -shaped front control arm. All four corners of the RIDETECH regulatory coil and the back of the four -link rear are set. Cleveland design has upgraded the brake hardware into a dual circuit system with a front disc with a power supply. The wheels make a set of 15 -inch X 8 -inch front wheels and a 15 -inch X 10 -inch rear wheel, which is due to the customized mini bathtub.

As part of a comprehensive overhaul, the steel body was straightened and opened, and then repaired in PPG marine green paint and five layers of transparent coating. This color is paired with white, used for bumper, grille, headlights, mirror shells, cabin roofs and rear shields. Cleveland’s design has chosen a type of window, which increases the attractive simplicity of this truck. In the back, there are new walnut wooden boards on the bed.

The cabin is a more obvious change and less significant changes. These instruments come from Dacco numbers, and the steering wheel is removed from the Bel air in 1955. The gray leather stool seat comes from Wiseguys seats and accessories. However, the window crank hides the power window function. The radio compatibility in the dashboard. On the right is the control of the retro air system. Open a pair of USB ports and electric emergency brake buttons.

Compared with the LS376/525 V8 of Cleveland’s design, Cleveland’s design replaces the conventional LS3 board box engine. The design is converted to 376 cubic inch (6.2 liters) and 525 hp torque at 6,200 RPM At 5,200 LB). This sends a generous output to the CURRIE 9-inch back end through the GM performance super 4L70-E four-speed automatic transmission, and breathe the stainless steel exhaust system customized by the mirror surface.

If you think that this completely large sleeping person can be dug out at a cheap price, please continue to dream. This impressive creation price is $ 139,900.
