1956 Chevrolet Pickup 1/2 Ton on 2040-cars

1956 CHEVROLET PICKUP / 3100 SERIES

BEAUTIFUL TRUCK ...JUST TO DRIVE, OR CONTINUE VERY MINOR, REMAINING RESTORATION!!

THE INTERIOR , EXTERIOR and WOOD BED, WERE ALL RESTORED ABOUT 6-7 YEARS AGO!

THE TIRES AND RIMS ARE LIKE NEW!

This is a STOCK vehicle except the 6cyl was replaced with a350 V-8, 4 barrel carb., dual exhaust and wheels and rims. Whoever did the change over did an excellent job.

I Purchased this truck just two years ago, on "e-bay", and have had  the following repairs done by local "Certified" Mechanics:  "REBUILT TRANSMISSION", Rebuild and Re-Wire Starter, Replace Valve Seals, check over clutch assembly, check and re-pack front wheel bearings, and check all brake pads.

When I purchased this truck, I was told that everything worked except the horn! When it was delivered, I found that it would not shift from gear to gear without major "GRINDING"....I took it to a mechanic, who specializes in older transmission, and had it rebuilt. He indicated whoever had worked on it, forgot to put the "snap rings" back in place when they assembled the Transmission! I REPLACED ALL BEARINGS and checked all gears and of course had the snap rings installed! The clutch assembly was also checked at this time and was in "very good" condition. The truck, also had a major problem with valve seals, which I had both banks replaced. The starter had problems as well, and needed to be re-wired due to "black electrical tape" type of connections. "Front Wheel Bearings" were checked and re-packed, all brake shoes were checked , and are in good condition. OVER ALL CONDITION OF THIS VEHICLE IS EXCELLENT, IN MY OPINION.

The only two things that do not work are the horn and the radio. The radio is not original, but I do have the "original Radio Blank" insert included. There are a few additional minor repairs that I would do if I was to keep this. The doors need to be re-keyed (the keys that I received with the truck fit the ignition and glove box, but not the doors. The heater (which I have never used) should really have the cable assembly , and fan switch replaced or repaired, someone just put an external toggle switch on the fan.

UNLIKE THE PERSON THAT I PURCHASED THIS FROM, I HAVE DISCLOSED ALL PROBLEMS, AND OR REPAIRS THAT YOU MAY CHOOSE TO DO!! This truck runs great and is fun to drive, now that I have fixed these items! 

 THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE WITH IT, IS I FEEL AS THOUGH  I AM IN A PARADE WHENEVER I TAKE IT OUT FOR A DRIVE!   IT IS REALLY, A VERY, VERY BEAUTIFUL TRUCK, AND ATTRACTS A  LOT OF ATTENTION!  The only reason I am selling it is, I just don't have room to store it at my home, and that makes it seldom used. I have 4 other vehicles and have to sell at least one!! This truck wants to be driven!!!

THERE ARE NO "DENTS  OR SCRATCHES" OF ANY KIND ON THIS TRUCK!!!

The ODOMETER READS 35,168 .......I HAVE NO IDEA WHETHER THIS IS ACCURATE.

This truck has only been driven about 60-70 miles by me. I have stored this inside a warehouse / covered the past two winters.
