The Chevrolet 3800 are heavy duty commercial 1 ton working vehicles. They are part of the Task

force series from 1955-1959. This included trucks from ½ ton Pickups to commercial vehicles and

tractor trailer rigs. The light duty trucks are fairly common and sought after. The one ton 3800 Dually

model is much less common today due to their commercial use. They are typically found as cab,

frame often needing everything, and the sales suffer because of that. The 3800 flatbed is a workhorse.

Originally, a lot of these were equipped with 6 cylinders 3 or 4 speed manual transmission, and a 2

speed rear axle to assist in delivering torque to the ground. The V8 was introduced in 1955 with the

265, eventually ending up with the 348/5.7 liter. The flatbed versions are called Stake Beds and there

was also a step side dually 3800. Equally rare today.
