Vehicle Description
1956 GMC Pickup Truck
Why This Car Is Special
Early in the 50's, GMC trucks were GMC's answer to the Chevrolet
Task Force trucks that ran from late 1955 through 1959.
In 1956 they had a wider hood emblem, two-piece fender emblems that
were mounted above horizontal fender line, and it was the last year
for egg crate grille.
What we would like to show you at Skyway Classics is a restored and
modified version of a 1956 GMC truck. It is a beauty and has been
upgraded with many features like the small block engine and
transmission, the beautifully restored body painted in dark red, a
new custom interior, factory Rally wheels and performance
tires.

the rear, and rides on black sidewall tires and factory Rally type
wheels with chrome trim rings and tires.
Interior
The custom interior has a maroon and white bench seat with matching
door panels, factory dash uses Autometer custom gauges, and a
custom billet wood steering wheel adds to the 21st century
feel.
It has a radio, floor mounted automatic shifter as the whole
interior looks nice and is just as comfy.
Exterior
Painted a maroon over the flowing GMC lines and pickup represents
the first of the pickups that were actually styled by designers
rather than merely engineered.
As a result, they carry a lot of automotive-inspired design cues,
so if you see a little bit of Shoebox Chevy in the design, the
coincidence is purely intentional. The paint is in excellent
condition and this truck gets a ton of attention anywhere you
go.
Enhancing the upscale look is the white bumpers and restored
grille, step-side bed, chrome mirror, aluminum toolbox, maroon
inside the bed protection, and trim, all very nice.
They clearly focused on making it right and they've definitely
succeeded in a very big way. This truck is very, very nice!
