This 1956 Chevy Pickup is “Flawless”. It has never been driven and is really a work of art. Everyone that sees this truck at car shows or at our showroom cannot believe the quality of workmanship that went into the restoration. This pickup was frame off restored in 2013 by an Auto Body Shop owner as his personal truck. NO expense was spared in its construction and EVERY single part on this truck has been restored or replaced. Once complete the Auto Body Shop owner could not bring himself to drive the vehicle so he sold it to us. This truck has NEVER been driven other than short trips to shows, test drives etc but it drives beautifully. The Red Paint on this truck is a base coat clear coat with a flawless finish that is deep, radiant and expertly executed. The cab is accented in white making for a two tone effect that is simply stunning. All emblems, chrome bezels, chrome bumpers, chrome grill, chrome handles, chrome mirrors and window trim are brand new. All the window glass is brand new. All marker lights and driving lights are brand new as well. The wood Truck Bed is beautifully finished in Oak with Chrome support straps. Every single nut and bolt in the bed is brand new. The Interior is a work of art as well. With a handsome black painted dash adorned with new gauges, new knobs and switches, restored heater controls and vents it’s like stepping in a time machine and going back to a Chevy Dealership in the year 1956. The combination solid red and multicolored red upholstery is of the highest quality. Custom stitched this upholstery follows the pattern of deluxe upholstery used in 1956 in Chevy’s high end vehicles. The Doors and Headliners are also upholstered in the same manor and the results are amazing. Open the hood and you are greeted by more than likely, the most gorgeous engine bay you have ever seen. The firewall is perfect with correct wiring, relays, ballast resistors, solenoids, and connectors in all the right places. The original 235 Straight Six engine was overhauled and brought back to its original glory. All parts including the carburetor, fuel filter, gas lines, and Oil filter are all just as they were in 1956. The correct intake manifold and exhaust manifold appear be brand new and mate up to a brand new period correct exhaust system with deluxe chrome tip. The ignition wires are all the correct cloth insulated variety. The Radiator is new as are all hoses and period correct clamps. The original Air Cleaner was restored and the original air cleaner cleaning instructions preserved as a tie between old and new. It is obvious that a great deal of research went into getting every detail right just as it was when it left the factory. Driving this truck is an absolute treasure. Turn on the ignition. Push your foot on the floor starter petal and the engine roars to life. Take the truck out on the open road and the engine runs strong and smooth. Shifting is done using a three on the tree shifter which is an absolute treat. You will be literally smiling from ear to ear as you head down the road in this incredible piece of automotive history. Stop, open the hood while the truck is running and watch as the old crank case breather vents warm engine air to the beat of the engine. Look through the bell housing as the engines flywheel spins merrily along. The truck is really an amazing wonder from a simpler time. A real treat for both young and old alike.

There is no way you could replicate it for the asking price and to believe that we sincerely invite that you or your representative come see the car for yourself. About the 3100 Chevy Pick Up In March of 1955, Chevy’s 'Task Force' series of trucks (as they were called) were introduced. They featured smooth rounded sheet metal, large wrap around windshield for better visibility and styling cues derived from their new line of sedans and coupes. The new trucks rode on wide six-cross-member frame, allowing for longer front and rear leaf springs. The standard half-ton 3100 series had a 114" wheelbase that is shared with the Cameo trucks of the same time period. The 1956 Chevy Truck is considered by many to be the best looking Chevy Truck of all time.
