Details

This custom 1956 Chevrolet 3100 stepside pickup is powered by a mildly built 327ci V8 engine that was rebuilt using a 350hp hydraulic lifter cam, GM aluminum intake and a Holley 650 carburetor. Power goes to a Saginaw 4-speed manual transmission with a Hurst shifter and hydraulic throw-out bearing, as well as a Ford 9-inch rear end with ladder bars. This truck also features an electronic ignition, aluminum radiator with an electric cooling fan, a Vintage Air system, independent front suspension, power steering and power disc brakes. The exterior includes a 1980 pickup front K-member that was adapted to original frame, boxed with mini-tubs fabricated from aluminum and an aluminum diamond-plate bed floor. The tailgate of the pickup uses an inside cable and latches, there are rear valence panels with taillights, the license plate folds up to use the trailer hitch receiver and a rear roll pan replaced the bumper. When the truck was updated 25 years ago, the body was acid-dipped to find the flaws, which were fixed. It is painted in GM Victory Red. The cab features a one-piece power window with wireless jamb connectors, late-model bench seat, tilt wheel, updated modern-style door latches and an aftermarket instrument panel unit. This pickup has been family-owned for 50 years and stored inside, with a cover, at all times.
