This 1956 is a good running and driving truck that could be made to be really nice. It is sitting on a 1985 Chevy truck frame so that makes it ride and drive better. It has the 350 engine out of the same 85 truck as well as the 700R4 overdrive transmission. It has a Holley 4 barrel carb. The engine runs good and is mainly stock but sounds good thru the dual exhaust. The overdrive transmission shifts good and has a transmission cooler. The truck needs paint job. ( The first pic is not a big faded out spot, t is the glare from the sun ) It has Black paint on it now but has been different colors thru it's life. It looks better in pics then in person as far as paint goes. It is a pretty solid truck though with the cab corners in good shape as well as the floor pans and rockers. The bed is a metal bed with a little rust up by the cab. Not bad but there is some rust there. The bumpers have been painted. The interior has nice bucket seats out of a newer model Chevy truck and they sit good. The steering column and steering wheel also came out of a newer model Chevy truck. The column shifter does not work. It has a floor shifter that has been put in and works good. These trucks bring alot of money when restored and this one is a good solid start and you already have your updated frame and running gear and the truck is pretty solid so not alot of rust issues to deal with. The tires are in pretty good condition and the wheels are in good shape but kind of dated. Drive it as is if you want. I have alot more pics of this truck if anyone wants to see more just let me know. Very fair reserve for this truck. This truck is also For Sale locally and on other sites so auction could end early. It is being sold as is with no warranty given or implied in anyway. Pre Sale inspection is welcomed and encouraged so you will know exactly what you are bidding on but this must be done BEFORE END OF AUCTION!! If you bid and meet reserve and are high bidder at end of auction then you have bought it. Please understand this. It is being sold with a current Georgia registration as Georgia WILL NOT issue a title on any vehicle this old. You will be able to get a title in your state with the paperwork I give you so don't worry about this. Any questions please ask. Thanks for looking
