1955 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup NAPCO 4×4 4-Speed

This 1955 Chevrolet 3100 pickup is finished in green over tan vinyl upholstery and powered by a replacement 235ci inline-six linked to a four-speed manual transmission and a NAPCO dual-range transfer case. Additional equipment includes a curved windshield, a wood-lined bed floor, manually locking front hubs, and body-color 16″ steel wheels.
