Vehicle Description
1956 GMC Pickup This is one of the last remaining solid,original
GMC trucks on earth!! This is a documented truck. Truck only has
64,000 original miles!! I have registration paperwork from 1961,
receipts and paperwork for parts and repairs from 1998 - 2020s.
Includes documents for engine head rebuild and lower engine and
transmission work and parts. Also early advertising magazines and
calendars. I recently had a tow hitch system professionally
installed on the truck which includes a trailer brake controller, 7
pin trailer plug and is welded to the frame of the truck. Truck is
stored inside for more than a decade. Mainly used for home, meets
and parades. Runs and drives excellent. Body is very, very straight
with no rust issues. Original color was cream. Years ago the
exterior of the truck was completely covered in gloss gloss white
rustoleum paint. This paint was thick, and was rolled on, I believe
this is what has contributed to saving the body from rust. That
said, the paint is rough in places and has a unique patina.
Underneath the paint, the original color still exists. The wheel
caps are original. When I purchased the truck they were the
original cream color. I removed the paint with aircraft stripper
revealing the almost 70 year old hidden chrome. The cover on the
spare tire is a replacement. The current tires are radial Yokohamas
with a added whitewall for a classic effect. They're are like new.
The engine is 270 6 cylinder, it's the original engine to the truck
and was completely rebuilt. No longer has points, and is converted
to 12 volts with a Delco-Remy generator. It has a rebuilt starter,
water pump, brake cylinder, carburetor. Very clean motor with no
major leaks. This truck has been garaged for many years and is a
true hard Body is very, very straight with no rust issues. Original
color was cream. Years ago the exterior of the truck was completely
covered in gloss gloss white rustoleum paint. This paint was thick,
and was rolled on.
