1955 Chevy truck - factory automatic? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

At a local cruise the other evening, I saw a BEAUTIFUL 1955 Chevrolet truck... at least I think it was a 55. Restored back to original conditions. It had column shift automatic, which appeared to be factory, especially since it had "hydra-matic" emblems on both front doors. That was the oldest Chevy truck I had seen that was factory automatic. Does anyone know what the first year automatic was available on the Chevrolet / GMC trucks? I am thinking it may have even been before 1955, but I could be wrong.

I wish I had of had my camera, I would have got some photos of the red beauty.
