Buzz'n,
Thanks for the information. I just now looked at a 1955-1st sales brochure. It does not have any chrome grills but all the white grills had black "CHEVROLET" letters on the top bar and black inner bars. I had never noticed this.
One of my '54 pick-ups had an all-white grill. A case of a repaint of a slightly damaged grill. I found this out when I starting stripping off the paint.
On your '55-1st chrome grill, are the parking lamp panels and the lower grill pan chromed? They were not chromed in '54. And, in '54, the inner grill bars were bright white. This is in all the '54 sales brochures and I once saw a pristine, original '54 Deluxe Cab (green exterior with green/green interior) with all the deluxe chrome options (and 18,000 miles on it).
THe grills seem to be the major obvious difference between '54 and '55 first.
What is the code on the ID plate on your 3100 truck? I am interested in knowing if they actually changed to the '55 code (H55...) or if they continued to use the '54 code (H54...).
Thanks,
Tim
