1956 Chevrolet Pickup

Description for Chevrolet Other 1956

1956 Chevy Taskmaster Pickup for sale. This is one sharp, ead-turning, right red truck. If you dont want people staring at you, taring at the truck, nd wanting to look it over and talk about it-----then dont buy it. Let me begin by saying we are a pre-owned vehicle dealer, ut do not specialize in antique or classic vehicles, nd we dont claim to be experts about them. We will try to describe the truck as accurately, nd thoroughly as possible, nd show what we are talking about with numerous pictures. We have in excess of $25,000 invested in the truck, nd have all receipts to document work performed, nd parts installed. In my non-expert opinion, he truck is over 90% restored. It is in very good daily-driver condition now. It only needs some cosmetics to be a weekend car-show quality truck. We dont know the history of this truck prior to 8-15-12 when we purchased it. We were told it came out of Selma, labama. It is obviously a solid southern truck. When we got it, t was in primer, ith chrome wheels and baby moon hubcaps. Everything on the vehicle was removed except the cab was left on the frame. The engine and transmission were pulled. All body parts except the cab were removed. The frame was sandblasted and painted as needed. Surface rust was the only reason for sandblasting. The truck was then painted bright red. The paint job is not perfect, ut is a very slick, igh-quality paint job. I would classify the paint and body work as much higher quality than expected for a daily driver. The truck has the factory 235 cubic inch in-line 6-cylinder, nd has been rebuilt from top to bottom by a local machine shop that is highly reputable, nd does very good work. The engine has less than 300 miles since the rebuild and runs like a sewing machine. The carburetor has just been rebuilt. When the engine was replaced a new clutch kit was installed. Belts, oses, hermostat, adiator core, lugs, ires, istributor cap, otor button, oints, oil, ater pump, ie rod ends, nner tie rod, nd emergency brake cable are all brand new. A remanufactured steering column was just installed. The bill for the engine rebuild and other mechanic work was $6,819.90. The wheels and tires are brand new with less than 300 miles. The seat is newly recovered, nd the colors complement the red paint. The windshield is new, nd the rest of the glass is in very good condition. All new working gauges. The bed floor is new. The side walls of the bed and floor were covered with rhino-liner, ut that was not done for protection, nd not to cover rust. The truck is a 56 model, nd it drives just like a 1956 Chevy with an in-line six, nd no power steering or power brakes. The truck drives out straight and smooth, ust like it should. If you want an extremely good-looking, olid truck that you can drive and enjoy now, his is it. Nothing more is needed. If you want it near-perfect, e will now describe the items that make it 90% complete, ot 100%. An aftermarket radio has been installed. The dash had already been slightly modified for an after-market radio when we got it. The interior had been re-painted by the previous owner, nd matches the exterior of the truck. To make the interior look as good as the outside, t needs to be sanded and re-painted. The wipers work, ut are still the vacuum type. The steering wheel has been painted red, nd is in normal condition for a 56 model. The horn button is new, ut the horn does not work. The hundreds of hours of labor, nd thousands of dollars have already been invested. It just needs a last few finishing touches. Email or call with any questions, nd if you want a really nice 56 Chevy truck, ut dont want to spend $35-40K for one that is absolutely perfect.
