Vehicle Description
1956 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup
Ever heard of the "Chevrolet Task Force"? Well this was the name
given to the 1955-1959 Chevrolet pickups as a follow up to their
Advance Design series. These trucks incorporated different length
beds, a wrap around windshield and an all around more current look
for the time period. It wasn't until this series that V8s were even
offered in pickups. These years made it clear that trucks had their
place in the US as it was followed up by the extremely popular C/K
series of pickups. If you're in the market for an old pickup but
need one that you can take anywhere look no further! This 1956
Chevy restomod takes the vintage 50's appearance and combines it
with modern features making it just as comfortable and reliable as
your daily driver. It really is the perfect combo of new and old.
From the outside you could call it a sleeper with exception of the
Custom 18" wheels. Everything else on the body from the chrome to
the trim all have the stock look. It even has the front visor for
that extra 50's touch. The body is very straight and is painted a
nice Viper Red that has a beautiful finish. All of the bright work
looks good and has a nice shine as well. The truck is the big rear
window version which is the more rare of what was available. The
bed of the truck has wood slats and a spare is mounted to the side
in a painted to match cover. The wheels are all wrapped with
Hankook P35/50ZR18 tires that have plenty of life left.
Peak under the hood and that is where the modernization all starts.
You see a lot of these with 350 crate motors and even 6 cylinders
but this thing has been fitted with a 2005 Escalade LQ9 Vortec
motor that runs extremely well. Not only is it cool show off but
you will love the way this thing cruises around town and down the
highway. Keeping it constantly running cool is an aftermarket
aluminum radiator with electric fan. Looking at the engine
compartment a custom aluminum piece was mounted to the firewall for
a nice clean look and the inner fenders are done in Black. The
battery was also relocated to eliminate the cluttered look you get
with a lot of engines. Backing up that modern motor is a 4L60
automatic transmission that moves through the gears smoothly. In
back is a 12 bolt rear end with 3:73 gears. The original gas tank
was removed and a 16 gallon fuel cell was mounted under the bed so
you can now easily fill it through a custom made gas filler. This
eliminates a common problem with these trucks of fumes in the cab
due to their original location. Other nice mechanical upgrades
include the CPI power front disc brakes which along with the power
steering system make it a breeze to drive around. A lot of people
get intimidated by driving an older vehicle but we assure you this
is one that anybody could hop in and feel confident cruising around
in.
The interior is done in a Tan color with a bench seat. The
carpeting and upholstery are in good condition and show little to
no signs of wear. Although they are not necessarily required in
this year of vehicle lap belts were added for extra safety. The
dash is painted in Viper Red to match the body and a very cool
white face set of gauges were added in the original style diamond
layout. An aftermarket AM/FM/CD/USB player has also been installed
with 4 speakers mounted throughout the cab. In front of the driver
a tilt column was added and is topped with a more modern style all
Black steering wheel. A center console was made to mount to the
floor and incorporates a power plug for your car chargers. It also
has a nice AC system that blows cold.
This cool pickup has a lot going for it and is a really unique
vehicle. These trucks are pretty popular and you don't see a lot of
them done in this modern style. If you like the classic look but
want a little more comfort and reliability this thing is for
you!
