1955 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup Heads to Premier Auction After Extensive Restoration

A fully customized 1955 Chevrolet 3100 pickup, featuring a rebuilt 383 stroker V-8 and frame-off restoration, is up for auction.


A meticulously restored and highly customized 1955 Chevrolet 3100 short-bed pickup is set to turn heads at auction. This stunning truck, finished in GM Omaha Orange over a brown interior, underwent a comprehensive frame-off restoration by Bennett’s Garage in Mesa, Arizona, completed in September 2021. With more than 3,000 hours of fabrication and customization, this build represents the pinnacle of classic truck restoration.

At its heart is a rebuilt 383 cubic-inch Chevrolet stroker V-8, paired with a rebuilt TH350 automatic transmission. Performance enhancements include roller rockers, lifters, a Lunati camshaft, and a polished intake manifold. The truck rides on an upgraded Chevrolet Caprice chassis and suspension, with front disc brakes and oversized rear drums for improved stopping power.

Custom craftsmanship is evident throughout the build. The handcrafted steel bed, custom LED lighting, and new brightwork ensure a show-quality finish. Inside, the modernized cabin features one-piece power windows, a big-back window, power door locks, a shaved dash, and a push-button start. The interior also boasts a Buddy Bucket seat combination, custom door panels, a center console with USB charging outlets, and Dakota Digital VHX gauges.

Entertainment and convenience features include a Custom Autosound Bluetooth-enabled retro radio with Pandora and hands-free calling. Meanwhile, a new Old Air Products Hurricane Series air conditioning and heat system provides modern comfort.

Underneath, the truck's underside has been cleaned and painted in Omaha Orange, matching its exterior. It rolls on staggered 20-inch U.S. Mag wheels wrapped in new tires, adding a modern stance to this classic pickup.

With its blend of vintage styling and modern upgrades, this one-of-a-kind 1955 Chevrolet 3100 is a must-see for collectors and enthusiasts looking for a turnkey showstopper.
