I’m looking for a 1955 Chevy 3100, First Series that originally belonged to my father. He purchased the truck sometime prior to 1983 and had it painted brown with black fenders. After my father passed away, the truck was sold in Jackson, Tennessee in 2003.
I’m not looking to reclaim or cause any issues — I’d simply love to know where the truck ended up, or even see a photo of it if it’s still around. My father passed away over 20 years ago, and finding this truck would mean a great deal to me.
If this sounds familiar, or if you know of a 1955 Chevy 3100 matching this description that passed through the Jackson, TN area around that time, please feel free to comment or message me privately.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this — any leads or shares are greatly appreciated. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2021 Posts: 6,684 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2021 Posts: 6,684 | Good luck. I hope you find it.
I'm currently trying to help a friend locate his first car, a 1972 Fiat 124 Spider.

Unfortunately, any paperwork or pictures that were left after the sale have since been lost. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2021 Posts: 6,684 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2021 Posts: 6,684 | I see you're in Cali so dealing with the Tennessee people won't be simple. A friendly cop would be able to tell you all of the '55 3100s registered in the state.
If you're able to find registrations for 1955 3100s in Tennessee, you could work your way down the list contacting the owners.
A P.I. would probably have no trouble getting that information.

Our daughter just arrived from there for a short (1 week) visit with us. Are you interested in finding one like it? Maybe drop in at The Legion Hall. Maybe someone in there has some idea that can help with the search. Also, check out our Legacy Gallery. Maybe it'll show up in there somewhere...  Let us know what you find out.
