1956 Chevrolet Pickup offered by Carolina Classic Cars of Asheboro, NC 336-736-8855 TREMEC 5-Speed
Complete Frame-Off Restoration | Coral Orange | 355 V8
Carolina Classic Cars is proud to offer this remarkable 1956 Chevrolet Pickup, the recipient of a complete frame-off restoration and finished in a stunning Coral Orange—a Volkswagen color code from approximately the 2008–2009 model years. The color is absolutely striking against the truck’s chrome, American Racing wheels, and beautifully restored body.
This is much more than a great-looking classic. Extensive work has gone into the drivetrain, suspension, braking system, steering, interior, and electronics to create a truck that is ready to be shown, driven, and enjoyed.
ENGINE & DRIVETRAIN
Under the hood is a 355ci V8, based on a Chevrolet 350 bored .030 over. The engine has approximately 100 miles since completion, and we have the original build/bill sheet documenting the work.
Additional mechanical features and upgrades include:
355ci V8 — 350 bored .030 over
Approximately 100 miles on the engine
4-barrel carburetor
Rebuilt/overhauled transmission
Late-model transmission application
Positraction rear end
Approximately 8.5-inch rear end
New clutch
New alternator
New power steering components
New oil pan
Rear sway bar
Upgraded steering components
BRAKES, WHEELS & TIRES
The truck has been upgraded with four-wheel disc brakes, giving it considerably improved braking capability compared with a stock 1956 pickup.
It rides on classic American Racing wheels, with:
14-inch wheels in the front
15-inch wheels in the rear
Brand-new tires
Four-wheel disc brakes
The staggered wheel combination gives this Chevrolet an excellent stance while maintaining the traditional hot-rod appearance that suits the truck beautifully.
CUSTOM INTERIOR
Inside, the restoration continues with a handsome tan interior accented by black seating. The classic character of the 1956 Chevrolet has been retained while adding several modern conveniences.
Features include:
Brand-new Dakota Digital gauges
Brand-new XM-capable radio
Power windows
New speedometer coax cable
Tan interior
Black seats
Updated instrumentation and electronics
The Dolphin Digita instrumentation provides modern accuracy and reliability while integrating beautifully into this classic Chevrolet’s cabin.
A STUNNING FRAME-OFF RESTORED CLASSIC
From its brilliant Coral Orange exterior and polished American Racing wheels to its freshly built 355 V8, four-wheel disc brakes, upgraded steering, Positraction rear end, power windows and Dakota Digital gauges, this 1956 Chevrolet Pickup combines classic styling with thoughtfully selected modern upgrades.
With only approximately 100 miles on the new engine, this truck presents an outstanding opportunity for someone searching for a beautifully restored Chevrolet pickup that can be equally at home at a local cruise-in, classic-car show, or out on the open road.
This is one remarkable classic—and it shows beautifully!
