1956 Chevy 3100 Pickup Truck
Vehicle Identification
Number: 3A560010028
This 1956 Chevy Pickup
is “Flawless”. It has
rarely been driven and is really a work of art. Everyone that
sees this truck at car shows cannot believe the quality of
workmanship that went into the restoration.
This pickup was frame off restored in 2013 by an Auto Body Shop
owner as his personal truck. NO expense was spared in its
construction and EVERY single part on this truck has been restored
or replaced. Once complete the Auto Body Shop owner could not
bring himself to drive the vehicle so it is available for sale at
auction. This truck has rarely been driven other than short
trips to shows, test drives etc, with the odometer showing only 29
Miles. The truck drives beautifully.
The Red Paint on this truck is a base coat clear coat with a
flawless finish that is deep, radiant and expertly executed.
The cab is accented in white making for a two tone effect that is
simply stunning. All emblems, chrome bezels, chrome bumpers,
chrome grill, chrome handles, chrome mirrors and window trim are
brand new. All the window glass is brand new. All
marker lights and driving lights are brand new as well. The
wood Truck Bed is beautifully finished in Oak with Chrome support
straps. Every single nut and bolt in the bed is brand
new.
The Interior is a work of art as well. With a handsome black
painted dash adorned with new gauges, new knobs and switches,
restored heater controls and vents it’s like stepping in a time
machine and going back to a Chevy Dealership in the year
1956. The combination solid red and multicolored red
upholstery is of the highest quality. Custom stitched this
upholstery follows the pattern of deluxe upholstery used in 1956 in
Chevy’s high end vehicles. The Doors and headliners are also
upholstered in the same mannerr and the results are
amazing.
Open the hood and you are greeted by more than likely, the most
gorgeous engine bay you have ever seen. The firewall is perfect
with correct wiring, relays, ballast resistors, solenoids, and
connectors in all the right places. The original 235 Straight
Six engine was overhauled and brought back to its original
glory. All parts including the carburetor, fuel filter, gas
lines, and Oil filter are all just as they were in 1956. The
correct intake manifold and exhaust manifold appear to be brand new
and mate up to a brand new period correct exhaust system with
deluxe chrome tip. The ignition wires are all the
correct cloth insulated variety. The Radiator is new as
are all hoses and period correct clamps. The original
Air Cleaner was restored and the original air cleaner cleaning
instructions preserved as a tie between old and new.
It is obvious that a great deal of research went into getting every
detail right just as it was when it left the factory. Driving
this truck is an absolute treasure. Turn on the
ignition. Push your foot on the floor starter petal and the
engine roars to life. Take the truck out on the open road and the
engine runs strong and smooth. Shifting is done using a three
on the tree shifter which is an absolute treat. You will be
literally smiling from ear to ear as you head down the road in this
incredible piece of automotive history. Stop, open the hood
while the truck is running and watch as the old crank case breather
vents warm engine air to the beat of the engine. Look through
the bell housing as the engines flywheel spins merrily
along.
The truck is really an amazing wonder from a simpler
time. A real treat for both young and old
alike. Do not miss this opportunity to, perhaps, the best
restored 56 Chevy Trucks available anywhere today.
