1956 CHEVROLET TRUCK 3100 SHORT BED RESTRO / MOD PATINA ONE OF A KIND

Description for Chevrolet Other Pickups 1956

ONE OF A KIND, 1956 CHEVY TRUCK, FRAME OFF RESTORATION/ PRESERVATION. NINETY-NINE PERCENT OF ALL PARTS, FROM BOLTS TO BUMPERS, ARE NEW.
WE BOUGHT THIS TRUCK TO RESTORE AND SELL AS A PATINA. BUT, UPON INSPECTION, THE TOP LAYER OF PAINT, WHICH WAS BLACK, WAS FLAKING OFF. SO WE STARTED SANDING TO REMOVE ALL OF THE BLACK PAINT, WE FOUND SEVERAL DIFFERENT SHADES OF BLUE, ONE OF WHICH WAS THE ORIGINAL EMPIRE BLUE, AND SOME LETTERING. WE HAND SANDED UNTIL WE REMOVED ALL PAINT FROM THE LETTERING. AT THIS STAGE, WE DECIDED TO DO A RESTORATION/PRESERVATION. WE PRESERVED THE ORIGINAL PAINT AND LETTERING, WHICH AFTER SOME INVESTIGATING, FOUND THAT THE TRUCK HAD ORIGINATED FROM ARKANSAS AND BELONGED TO A DEPARTMENT STORE. FOR SOME REASON THE NAME ON THE DOORS WAS REMOVED, SO WE LEFT THE DOORS BLANK FOR SOME ONE ELSE. IT STILL HAS ALL OF THE HISTORY OF ITS LIFETIME, THE ORIGINAL LETTERING,PAINT, DENTS AND DINGS, PRESERVED UNDER FIVE LAYERS OF CLEAR COAT. WE HAVE ALSO SPRAYED BED LINER UNDERNEATH THE CAB AND FENDERS.THERE IS A LINK BELOW TO GO TO AND SEE THE BUILD OF OVER 250 PICTURES. SOLD WITH BILL OF SALE.
