Details

This 1956 big-window pickup has gone through a multiyear frame-off build. The frame has been blasted, primed, boxed, and painted base and clear coats. The '56 has a new independent front suspension with 2-inch drop spindles, as well as power rack & pinion steering. The rear suspension is a triangulated 4-link with polished aluminum coilovers. There is new Speedway rear-end housing narrowed to allow for massive rear tires. The new rear-end housing was fitted with a new Currie 31-spline nodular steel center section with 3.70 gears. A set of 31-spline Currie axles were installed to handle the torque of the 460ci Ford V8 that has been bored .40 over with a CCA-K34-600-5 Thumper camshaft, Edelbrock Performer intake and 850 CFM Edelbrock carburetor. A set of long-tube Hooker headers were ceramic-coated and flow into a 3-inch exhaust out the back of the truck with Flowmaster 40 series mufflers. The engine is dressed in tall Ford Racing valve covers and a polished serpentine belt system pulling the chromed alternator and air-conditioning compressor. The transmission is a remanufactured Ford C6 with a shift kit and stall converter. Power 4-wheel Wilwood disc brakes with slotted and drilled rotors bring the '56 to a halt. Additional features include a reverse tilt hood, shaved door handles, electric door openers, electric windows, chrome steering column, wood steering wheel, dual-color all-leather interior with heated and air-conditioned seats, and cabin heat and air conditioning, Dakota Digital dash, center console, AM/FM, navigation, Bluetooth and USB. The paint is PPG Candy Tangerine Orange Glow.
