Very Clean Build! Crate 350 V8, 700R4 Auto, A/C, PS/B w/ 4 Whl Disc, Nice Chevy!
Getting attention has never been difficult for these trucks, but the brilliant Purple paint on this 5-Window will have folks stopping in their tracks. Finished less than 3k miles ago, it's still looks so fresh that you'll be tempted to touch it to see if that finish is still wet, and the shine from the deep layers of clearcoat on top almost make you avert your eyes under direct sunlight. The first half of 1955 was the last hurrah of the uber-popular Advance-Design pickups (aka known as the 1955 First Series), and they signaled the end of a design era that catapulted Chevrolet to the top of the American carmaker landscape. Although still a utilitarian pickup, GM knew the market wanted a more civilized machine, and the First Series trucks were the first step toward the complete overhaul resulting in the Task Force trucks that came along in the latter half of the year. As a result, customs like this look especially smooth, thanks to their curvaceous fenders, iconic grille, and long hood. This build obviously took some liberties with the original look, but they were mostly aesthetic, not structural, so there's no chopped roof, no shaved doors, and no deleted running boards. You do however get a minimal amount of trim, and almost all of the original bright stuff that was left behind was painted a slick gray color to match the grille and running boards. Out back, the rear bumper was swapped out for a Corvette-style, quad-light roll pan, and the tailgate above it was smoothed and painted to match. And inside that bed you'll find a custom floor, toolbox, and spare tire cover that work great with the rest of the build. Workmanship is quite good, with great fit and finish throughout, and with only 2,830 miles and very minor signs of use on the truck it's ready to last the test of time. Great prep gives the paint an ideal surface and even with that high-visibility paint, the details tend to stand out as the light plays over the truck's many intricate design elements. Man, this is great-looking rig!
