55 Chevy Truck -Frame Off - Period Correct Show vehicle

This is a 1955 2nd Series 3200 Chevy Pickup. I purchased the vehicle via ebay in Alabama and had it titled in Texas.  The truck has gone through a three year. complete frame off restoration.  Every part. nut and bolt has either been replaced with new or sandblasted and painted new.  
When restoring we wanted to keep it period correct so it has a re-built. bored . 10 over 235 inline 6 with new pistons. cam. fenton dual carb intake. Carbs are new from a ford escort.  Other mods:1. New aluminum fuel tank moved to rear of bed. 2. New front disc brakes. 6 lug converted to 5 lug. 3. New custom 5 lug wheels/tires with spare4. All new brake lines. fuel lines seals. glass. door hardware. bolt kit. bed wood (pine). bumpers. hood hinges. 5. All original sheet metal with exception of tail gate which is a reprop (old tail gate was too beat up). 6.  Beautiful carpet and upholstery to match paint job. 7. All new wiring to original standards (12V)8. New Classic Auto Air AC9. New alternator in lie of generator10. HEI. no points11. Transmission was rebuilt as well as the toque tube. 12. Rebuild rear end but original gear ratio13. Rebuilt and working 1955 period correct AM radio with properly mounted speaker. 14. Gorgeous two tone paint. There is over $17. 00 in the paint alone.  
Just about everything that needed to be replaced was. Only the side "3200" trim is original as they don't make reproductions. The original hood emblem was too far gone to keep.  I have all receipts.
The truck has won several local car shows for best interior and best of class.  The hood liner is currently missing as I was changing it and never put the new one on but the top is painted so good most people miss that.  The wiper knob is on the dash but it does not work as I have the original vacuum motor mounted but not hooked up.  
The truck is a blast to drive and turns lots of heads. Like any all original truck it has a low top speed (about 50) and wanders a bit.  I'm selling this because I'd like to get another project truck but this time build a daily driver.  This one is our "ice cream getter" and has enjoyed lots of trips to the ice cream store with my wife and two year old.  
I also have a few spare parts when re-building the truck that would go with it.  I also have the power steering gear box and conversion kit but I never got around to mounting it.   It's a $600 kit that will be included with the truck.
One will rarely see a near period correct truck re-furbished to the quality of this one.
