Probably one of the most outrageous 1956 Chevrolet Panel Delivery ever built! Driving this around, going to shows, you can not help getting noticed, this van draws attention. Built by David Gongora in southern California at his custom shop. There is no shortage of details and wild ideas that make this van awesome. This van was featured in multiple magazines along with the cover of Custom Classic Trucks(see in pictures). The van started out as a southwestern rust free truck and is now painted in a beautiful Amber Fire orange paint. Exterior details like the Cadillac tail lights and the custom door handles really show the details. The interior was also all customized with a limo style U shaped bench in the back with, suede, leather and even snake skin materials to finish it off. Fitted in the interior is a high end Kenwood retractable stereo with a flip down dvd player in the back. The vintage a/c works along with power windows and a Ididit chrome tilt wheel. Fiber optic and led lighting though out the truck. This is not just a stunning looking van it is also set up with some serious fire power under the hood and upgrades every where mechanical. Starting with an Otis Satterlee race prepped small block 350. The engine has a 671 speed master blower, dual carburetors and is completely finished in billet and chrome everywhere. Dual exhaust routed out the sides so it can be lowered to the ground and it sounds mean. Custom hood hinges even has an interior hood release. Transmission is a 700r4 automatic, with a 3.73 rear differential. The van rides on a full air bag system with dual compressors, tanks with Bilstein shocks. Front end is Mustang II based with independent tubular suspension and power steering rack. Four wheel power disc brakes. This project was estimated at costing around $125,000 when it was built in 2006, I can not imagine what it will cost to build today.
