Featured here is a great looking 1955 Chevy 3100 Half Ton Pickup. Chevrolet light trucks beginning in 1955 ushered in a new era of styling and comfort. When the 1955 came out, the new Chevy trucks blurred the lines between a work truck and passenger car.

The Task Force Series
Chevrolet called the new style for 1955 as the “Task Force Design“. This name replaced the previous designation of “Advance Design” which ran from 1947 until 1955. During this time Chevrolet trucks were outselling Ford until Ford came out with their V-8 truck engine in 1954. Chevy came out with their truck V-8 engine in 1955 along with their new Task Force design. The Task Force Chevys lasted from 1955 to 1959.
When the Chevy 3100 trucks came out they actually to some seemed like a cross between truck and passenger car. This was important because in the 1950’s many people used them for both cargo hauling and personal transportation. Though light trucks buyers were looking for economy of operation they were also into style and comfort of ride.
New Styling
Everything with the new Task Force Series Chevrolet 3100 was designed new from the front to back including a new wrap around windshield. This was the industry’s first such windshield. The new design for the 1955 model carried over to 1956 included sculpted door and fender panels and a lower flatter hood. All Task Force series Chevy trucks were built with rugged chassis, stronger suspensions and drive trains
The 1956 models did have a few small changes including the side nameplate moved up above the fender crease and a new emblem was placed on the hood.
