Thanks for the great comments!

My lil' pick'em-up truck is a 1955 Chevy 3100 2nd series.
I was looking for a fun driver for just cruising around.
My other cars are fairly original and usually garaged.

The truck was built at the GM Oakland, CA plant and sold
to a public utility company. Here are a few pics of the
truck before the restoration began. It was pretty rough
but a custom big-window cab, all rust-free original sheet
metal with it's original factory undercoating.


Here's a few pics before the restoration.

The restoration lasted from 2002-05.
A local 1976 Camaro donated the front clip,
disc brakes and tilt steering column.
The 350 small block is a 1974 truck 4 bolt main
with a freshly rebuilt 1988 700R4 tranny.
3:73 10-bolt posi rear axle and a set
of 1973 Corvette 15 x 8 "AZ" Rally wheels.
The work continues.

The lil' truck cleaned up good...now it drives like new
with a stereo/CD player and a 17-gal GM gas tank now
under the rear bed.

Here's a link to a video of the truck!
