1955 Chevrolet Other Pickups NAPCO 4X4 SHORT BED

Brief NAPCO History: THIS IS A RARE 55 CHEVY SHORT SHORTED NAPCO 4X4 1/2 TON 2ND SERIES TRUCK BUT WITH 57 GRILLE AND FENDERS. THE NAPCO PARTS MAKE IT 4X4. IN 1955 ON 2ND SERIES 3100 AND 3200 TRUCKS YOU COULD NOW ORDER YOUR NEW TRUCK WITH THE DEALER ADDED 4X4 KIT BY NAPCO. THAT KIT CAME TO THE DEALER IN A WOOD CRATE WITH OVER 1400 POUNDS OF CONVERSION PARTS. NAPCO DESIGNED THE PARTS TO FIT WITH YOUR 2 WHEEL... DRIVE TRUCK AND MATCH THE GEARING. SO ALL THEY HAD TO DO WAS REMOVE THE FRONT AXLE AND REPLACE IT WITH THE NAPCO AXLE. HANG THE TRANSFER CASE TO THE REAR OF TRANSMISSION AND ADDING THE DRIVE SHAFTS NEEDED. THEY ONLY HAD TO DRILL 4 HOLES AND CUT ONE HOLE FOR EXTRA SHIFTER TO MAKE THIS SWAP. THESE WERE SOLD AS ON THE FLY 2 WH TO 4 WH SHIFTING. CHOICE OF LOCKOUTS OR NO LOCKOUTS. OK LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THIS TRUCK.: THIS TRUCK HAD BEEN SITTING OVER 20 YEARS. WE PUT IN A 60' 283 REBUILT A FEW YEARS AGO WITH MID SIZE RACE CAM AND ADDED LIKE NEW HOLLEY 650 DP 4 BBL. HAS EXHAUST MANIFOLDS AND DUAL EXHAUST. SHE RUNS GREAT. THE 4 SPEED TRANS SHIFTS GOOD AND BELIEVED TO BE ORIGINAL BY CASTING # 591953. REAREND CASTING 3707340 IS BELIEVED TO BE ORIGINAL TO THE TRUCK. THE NAPCO PARTS WE CANT SAY ARE OR ARE NOT ORIGINAL TO THE TRUCK SINCE YOU COULD BY THE PARTS FOR YEARS LATER AND INSTALL THEM. MAYBE OTHERS OUT THERE KNOW MORE. WE DO KNOW THE PARTS ARE NAPCO BECAUSE THE TRANSFER CASE HAS A RED TAG MARKED NAPCO AND SPICER WHO PARTNERED WITH THEM AND THE FRONT AXLE CASE HAS NAPCO CAST ON THE FRONT, SEE PHOTOS. There is a short video on our website, which is the name of company. eBay won't let me list. THE BODY IS REALLY SOLID WITH ONLY HAVING A FEW PIN HOLES IN THE REAR PANELS OF CAB CORNERS, A COUPLE TINY SPOTS ON REAR FENDERS AND A 1 INCH SPOT WHERE RT FRONT FENDER ATTACHES TO UPPER GRILLE BRACE. THERE COULD BE A COUPLE OTHER PIN HOLES BUT IT IS HARD TO FIND THESE UNRESTORED IN THIS GOOD CONDITION. IT IS A LTTLE BEAT UP ON THE REAR FENDERS BUT LET ME KNOW IF INTERESTED IN A NICE PAIR IN FIBERGLASS, I HAVE A PAIR FOR ADDITIONAL 300.00, ONLY FOR THE BUYER OF TRUCK. I ALSO HAVE A BRAND NEW IN BOX 55 GRILLE FOR 300.00 . WE HAVE IT RUNNING AND DRIVING TO WHERE ALL IT NEEDS TO BE STREET LEGAL IS REPLACE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH, REPLACE CRACKED WINDSHIELD AND FIX HORN. ALSO NEEDS LEFT TIE ROD END, ITS SLOPPY LOOSE. WE REPLACED NEW OR REBUILT THE ORIGINAL BRAKE SYSTEM. WE GOT HEADLIGHTS, TAILLIGHTS, AND BRAKE LIGHTS WORKING. WE TESTED THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE WITH LOCK OUTS AND IT WORKS. THE ENGINE, CLUTCH AND TRANS ALL GREAT. READY TO DRIVE AND DO THE RAT THING OR RESTORE TO YOUR TAST. * WE DELIVER ALL OVER THE WORLD. FOR PRICE I NEED ZIP CODE OR IF OUT OF USA I NEED PORT NAME AND COUNTRY. *FINANCING APPROVAL FOR THIS TRUCK IN MINUTES AS LOW AS 2.5% AND FUNDING BY NEXT DAY. CALL FOR INFO.
