The 1955 Chevrolet 3100 Second Series is a highly coveted classic truck that marked a massive mid-year redesign for General Motors. Introduced in March 1955 as part of the new Task Force line, this truck replaced the older "Advance Design" series. The "3100" designation indicates it is a half-ton short-bed pickup (typically with a 6.5-foot box). The second series is famous for introducing a modern wraparound windshield, a 12-volt electrical system, available V8 power, and concealed running boards.
Key specifications, identifying features, and market data for the 1955 Second Series 3100 include:
- Grille & Headlights: Features a distinct "egg-crate" grille design (similar to 1955 Chevy passenger cars) with single headlights mounted in the fenders.
- Glass: First truck in the industry to offer a wraparound windshield. Deluxe cabs also offered an optional wraparound rear window.
- Body Lines: Completely smoothed-out cab and bedsides with hidden running boards, replacing the bulbous, pontoon-style fenders of the older Advance Design models.
- Badging: Revised hood side badges; the 3100 model number was incorporated into a new design.
This locally modified restomod Chevrolet 3100 has been in the Duncan Imports collection since 2025.
