More of a 'cold rod', it still has the original 265 cubic inch V8. A little over 5000 of the 1955's were made.

I can't really tell from the angle...
Is that a Cameo [sp], or is it just a basic Fleetside?
I have admit that I don't think I've ever seen a 2nd Series '55...or a '56 for that matter...that wasn't a Stepside.
Very intriguing!!
{I was always more into the '47-1st Series '55, or the '60-'66 model Chevys.

At least you have a hot rod.

Man, I wish I could have kept it & finished it.

Yeah it's a Cameo. My Uncle bought it new, I bought it form him in '65. If I remember right Chevrolet didn't make a Fleetside until '58, but I could be off on that.

Though not really hot rods, here are my toys.
The first is a 1969 Shelby GT 350 Mustang. It was repainted its original Pastel Grey color in the early 80's. The drivetrain is the original Shelby American modified 351 Windsor engine, and 4 speed trans.
The next is a 1996 SVT Cobra Convertible. It is all factory original, other than the addition of a K&N air filter assembley. It has 16,000 original mile on it, and has never seen snow. We use it as a weekend car on nice days. Like tomorrow..
Unlike Indiana Jones, I LIKE SNAKES..

I took delivery of a Shelby Cobra a week ago.
I am impressed by the computer that controls everything.
550 HP is well controlled by the computer.
It is a whole different world than it was back in the 60s.

I don't know if you'd call it a hot rod by I have a '93 ranger daily that's my project vehicle.
It's a short bed standard cab '93 ranger 2wd 5sp 2.3l
I've done mostly maintenance to get it safe and driveable but have also put on a set of '09 mustang bullits with 1.5" spacers that corrects the backspace. I've lowered it 2/4 but will be bringing the rear back up an inch. I've got a rear disc brake setup from a 95 mustang that will be converting the rears to discs and will be using 12" explorer sport trac rotors with '95 ranger dual piston calipers up front.
It's still got a bunch of maintenance left but in the end it will have either the 2.3l Mitsubishi turbo diesel that came in the 86-88 rangers or a newer variant of one of the smaller diesels either the 1.9l VW tdi or the 2.8l VM motori jeep liberty diesel. I also like the Mercedes 2.9l inline 5 but the electronics will probably rule that one out. I will probably convert to automatic at that time as well.
I can post pictures if you'd like to see it. Not much to look at yet but it's a fun little truck.

Coyote I really like that cobra. There's a mechanic that lives about 5 miles from me a d he showed me his collection of mustangs once, you're gonna think I'm bsing you when I tell you this. Here it goes. 3 289 coupes, gt 350, 71 boss 351 (only year they made those), and a 69 gt500 with 428 or 429 cj I forget which but either way he is sitting on a pile of monry. Last year he had two boss 429s. Sold both. I have pics if I could find them

jumprightinit,
Come to think of it, I believe you're correct. I don't think they made a true Fleetside until '58.
The Cameos were from '55-'57.
Not sure why I didn't remember that before. Duh!

Two great looking trucks!!
I've always been a sucker for flatbeds, too!
I noticed you're truck is a Custom Cab, but not your Dad's. Good for you!!
