Smooth, rounded sheet-metal replaced the old pontoon-style fenders, and large, wrap-around windshield glass offered better visibility and gave a more contemporary look. And for the first time, an eight-cylinder motor was available under the hood. 1955 Chevy PickupThe 1955 model year began with the continuation of Chevrolet's Advance Design pickups, which dated back to 1947. These first-series trucks, built until March of 1955, were durable and sold well. But Ford's new 1953 F100 pickup, as well as Dodge's new 1954 truck models, prompted a re-design to a more modern looking truck. Taking styling cues from their successful passenger car platform, Chevy's 2nd-series pickups were re-engineered and restyled for mid 1955. Chevy Task Force trucks rode on a new, wider, six-cross member frame, allowing longer front and rear leaf springs to be fitted. The standard half-ton 3100 series had a 114" wheelbase, which it shared with the smooth-sided 3124 series Cameo Carrier. The 3200 series trucks had a longer bed and rode on a 123" wheelbase. Three-quarter ton models used 3500 and 3700 designations. Chevy's venerable Stovebolt Six, standard on all models, displaced 235-cid and produced 123-horsepower. Electrical systems, upgraded from 6 to 12 volts, were one of many improvements on the new series of trucks. The biggest news, however, was Chevrolet's new small-block V-8 engine, introduced on 1955 passenger car models, was now offered with their trucks.
