1955 Chevrolet Other Pickups Big Window for sale
Current customer rating:

This frame-off restored 1955 Chevrolet 3100 Big Window pickup is one of those builds where you can see the attention to detail in every single component. Not merely assembled, but rather purposely built with an eye towards making even the little stuff look right, it's gorgeous to look at and wonderful to drive. Combined with a great color combination and luxurious interior, it makes for a slick hauler that can take home trophies or cruise cross-country equally well.
This truck goes way beyond simple work-truck hauler, and even back in the '50s, Chevy revolutionized the industry with the crazy idea that workmen wanted attractive vehicles, too. So, while a lot of them were driven right into the ground, this handsome pickup received a no-holds-barred rejuvenation that includes a few skillful custom bits and a lot of professional work to make it smooth and shiny. Fit and finish are quite good overall, and the bespoke Burnt Orange Metallic over Cream paint was finished less than 8k miles ago and is a perfect update on the 1950s vibe these Task Force series trucks perfected in the latter part of the decade. A bright chrome grille was fitted up front, a smoothed tailgate anchors the rear, and a custom maroon pinstripe separates the two contrasting colors - who can argue with how cool this Big Window Restomod looks? The windows were given a dark tint to accentuate the street rod stance, and the bed was fully rebuilt with dark varnished wood, polished stainless rub rails, and a cool built-in flush filler cap for the gas tank underneath. Add in smooth 1-piece chrome bumpers, chrome caps tucked into the bed rails, and old-school street-rod taillights on either side of the tailgate, and you have a truck that creates a stir everywhere it goes.
With the original truck sporting plain vinyl, rubber, and steel interior materials, the custom makeover inside this Chevy gives it a much softer, friendlier demeanor. A reshaped and very comfortable bench seat has been wrapped in custom foam and smooth, Saddle Tan upholstery, which uses a period pleated and rolled pattern to replicate a 1950s vibe. Custom dark tan carpets look great and help control noise and heat and the door panels are properly finished with custom armrests and chrome hardware, not just bare steel. The dashboard, even when it was stock, was striking in a pickup truck and has now been smoothed and refined, with the original gauge cluster replaced by a trick Shark setup that really takes the interior up a notch. You'll also not custom tricks like speakers encases in fabricated housings built into the kick panels, a custom headliner, a digital AM/FM/AUX/Satellite stereo system, and a wood-rimmed billet steering wheel mounted atop a polished tilt column. A Vintage A/C unit is very cleverly hidden using tucked-away vents for a smooth look on the painted dash, and power windows and seatbelts round out the options list. As you can see, no detail was left to chance inside, and the results speak for themselves.
The engine is a powerful 5.3L V8, which was borrowed from a 2002 GM truck, fully rebuilt with an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor on top and is now making big horsepower and torque for this slick-built truck. From the shaved and smoothed firewall to the fully finished inner fenders, the engine bay was obviously built for show, and everything was either painted, polished, or plated before it was installed. Wiring has been neatly organized and there's a big aluminum radiator up front to keep things cool. Backed by a TH350 3-speed automatic transmission and a heavy-duty 12-bolt rear with relatively friendly gears inside, it's a superlative highway cruiser. Up front there's a modern front clip with power disc brakes and power steering swapped-in from a late-model Corvette, and a custom dual exhaust system with Flowmaster mufflers sounds suitably performance-oriented. The stance is just about perfect, with a lot of the credit going to the polished US Mag wheels and 235/55/17 performance radials all around.
Dressed to impress and turn heads, this beautifully built and nicely documented (build and maintenance receipts included) truck delivers in every sense of the word. Call today!

General Terms
Terms & Conditions
We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).
FEES: A documentation fee of $299 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.
AVAILABILITY: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.
CONTACT: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.
INSPECTION: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.
PAYMENT: We require a non-refundable $500 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers. SHIPPING: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.
DRIVE IT HOME: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.
DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.
VIN VERIFICATION: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.
MILEAGES: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase.
CONDITION: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.
AS-IS: All vehicles are sold "AS IS" and with no warranties expressed or implied. If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle's condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!
