Now available in our DFW-Showroom is this 1956 Chevrolet
3100-Truck. In 1955 Chevrolet revealed what is now referred to as
the second series. 1955 was the first year for this new body style,
which had "wrap-around" windshield�a truck industry first�and
optional wrap-around rear window on Deluxe cabs. Power steering and
power brakes became available for the first time on GM trucks.
Electrical system upgraded to 12 volts. This was also the only year
for seven-foot bed length. Fenders have single headlights and
one-piece emblem is mounted below horizontal line on fender. The
1956 version had a few slight changes, which included a wider hood
emblem & two-piece fender emblem that are mounted above horizontal
fender line. This was also the last year for egg crate grille. This
1956 is gorgeous both inside and out. Starting first with the
interior, which looks very sharp and crisp using a black bench
seat, outlined in red- it certainly makes it pop to the eye.
They've also kept the dash very period correct, simplistic, and
original looking, even retaining the "old-school" AM-only radio
built into dash directly. The exterior is painted red and
emphasizes the patina appearance, allowing the Chevy chrome to
shine that much brighter from the grill and side pieces. As for the
truck-bed, it's a well laid wooden bed, which similar to its paint
job, shows small signs of usage. This should be expected, since
these were the backbone/life line to many working men/women, back
in the day. It's a great truck, which is going to make someone a
happy new owner very soon. Will that be you? To view the truck in
