1955 Chevrolet 3600 Napco 4x4 pickup

Description for Chevrolet Other Pickups 1955

1955 Chevrolet First Series 3600 3/4 Ton NAPCO 4x4 Collector Truck.
VIN #0223910F55XA
I purchased this truck from a neighbor in Big Bear Lake California. I have known this truck most of my life. It started its life as a forestry truck, then was purchased by the Union 76 gas station in Boulder Bay California as a shop truck. My neighbor purchased it in the early seventies and used it for his handyman business. He offered it to me a few years ago and I planned on restoring it, but now realize I have too many restoration projects underway already and not enough time for them all. This is a very special truck and I hope that someone will finish it and enjoy it.
This truck is being sold as is. It is not in roadworthy condition at this time but it is an excellent candidate for a nice restoration project. It's all there.
