Build a Chevy

Optional Features

When the basics just won't do and you want a bit more performance and style, our optional features are exactly what your custom 1955-1959 Chevy 3100 Shortbed Small Window Stepside needs.

You can mix and match any one (or more) of the following options to make your custom Chevy truck exactly what you've been dreaming of. These options will incur an additional price above the standard features our Chevy trucks already come with. Additionally, some optional features may increase the production time needed to fulfill your order, depending on the availability of these parts. Regardless, the wait will be well worth it.

If you have any questions about these optional features, please call us at (775) 227-7447.
