1955 Chevrolet 2-Ton Stake Truck 1:48 Scale Plastic Model Kit
Build a classic piece of 1950s American trucking history with the Atlantis Models 1955 Chevrolet 2-Ton Stake Truck in 1:48 scale.
This detailed vintage truck kit recreates the rugged Chevrolet stake-bed trucks that were once a common sight on American farms, construction sites, warehouses, rail yards, and city streets.
Produced from classic tooling and upgraded by Atlantis Models with newly tooled clear window parts, updated decals, and refreshed artwork, this 1955 Chevy truck is an excellent choice for model builders, vintage truck collectors, and O scale railroad enthusiasts.
Classic 1955 Chevrolet Truck Styling
The 1955 Chevrolet truck represented the bold new styling of Chevrolet’s Task Force era, with a distinctive cab design and the tough, practical appearance that made these trucks a favorite for commercial work.
This model captures the character of a classic 2-ton Chevrolet stake truck, complete with a multi-piece cab, detailed chassis, stake-bed body, and authentic commercial-truck proportions.
Whether displayed as a factory-fresh work truck or heavily weathered for a farm, construction, or railroad scene, this kit offers plenty of possibilities.
Improved With Clear Window Parts
One of the biggest upgrades to this Atlantis Models release is the addition of newly tooled clear plastic window parts.
Earlier versions of this classic kit did not include clear windshield glass, but Atlantis Models created a new mold specifically for the clear parts, giving the finished truck a much more complete and realistic appearance.
The release also features updated decals and new box artwork, adding fresh detail while preserving the character of the vintage model kit.

Perfect for O Scale Railroad Layouts
At 1:48 scale, this 1955 Chevrolet stake truck is an excellent addition to many O scale and O gauge railroad layouts.
Use it around a railroad yard, freight depot, farm, warehouse, lumber yard, construction site, service station, or small-town street scene.
Its compact size and classic 1950s styling make it an easy way to add realistic period transportation to a model railroad or diorama.
Great for Weathering and Customizing
The stake-bed design also makes this a fun kit for builders who enjoy customizing.
Build it as a restored show truck, working farm vehicle, lumber truck, contractor’s truck, railroad maintenance vehicle, or worn commercial workhorse.
Add wooden tones to the stake bed, weather the chassis and tires, or create your own company markings for a one-of-a-kind display.
Recommended paint colors include black, silver, red, tan, brown, and flesh.
A Classic American Work Truck
Vintage commercial trucks often do not get the same attention as muscle cars and race cars, which is exactly what makes this model interesting.
The 1955 Chevrolet Stake Truck represents the everyday working vehicles that helped move goods and materials across America during the 1950s.
For builders who enjoy classic Chevrolet trucks, vintage commercial vehicles, O scale models, railroad scenery, or historic American transportation, this Atlantis Models kit makes a distinctive addition to the collection.
Add the 1955 Chevrolet 2-Ton Stake Truck to your collection and build a classic American workhorse from the golden age of trucking!

'55 Chevrolet Stake Truck
With a very convincing 2 tone wood finish this kit builds up into a real decent model truck. The clear plastic for the glass gives the model a more convincing appearance. It is tricky to align the cab pieces. I left the cab unpainted and polished the blue plastic to a gloss finish. If I could give this kit 4 1/2 stars if it were possible.

1955 Chevrolet 6409 Stake Truck
A little difficult to align the 6 pieces that make up the cab of this 1955 Chevrolet. Easy to paint, quality features, and a excellent compliment to the White/Fruehauf tanker truck combination. Nice detailed Chevy engine.
