Chevrolet Trucks 1955-1959: How to Build & Modify
This illustrated guide explains how to rebuild and upgrade Chevrolet pickup trucks from 1955-1959. It follows the complete restoration of a 1955 Chevy truck prepared for daily use. The book shows how to keep the classic look while adding practical features similar to those found in modern vehicles, without requiring advanced technical knowledge.
The author explains how to improve the front and rear suspension and how to install disc brakes to create a solid and safe base for the project. Body repairs and changes are clearly described, including the installation of patch panels, power windows, rotary door latches, and a third brake light. The book also reviews interior upgrades that increase comfort, convenience, and safety.
Mechanical systems are covered in detail, including the engine, transmission, steering, cooling, and electrical wiring. The methods shown can be carried out in a standard home garage, demonstrating that it is possible to build a reliable and well-finished truck without high labour costs.
