1956 Dodge Pickup Truck, Custom, Street Rod on 2040-cars
Plattsburgh, New York, United States
I am sorry to say I am selling my 56 Dodge Custom Pickup. A really great ride that is not getting out much since we have picked up a Mustang GT Convertible to cruise around in on nice days.
I purchased this truck almost four years ago out of a dealership in Nebraska. It was built and shown at shows in the Midwest for several years. I purchased it so I could enjoy a ride that does not need to be worked on, and rides smooth like a modern car. It has worked out just perfect and all we have done is change the oil, filter and clean it. I purchased it because it was not the same as other old trucks around and it looked really cool with the neat bed and stance, oh and this is the last year for the butterfly hood . It sounds great with a low rumble loud enough to let you know it is not your stock truck, but not to loud to become a bother when you are cruising. I get lots of looks and thumbs up. I often take it to work which is a 50 mile round trip on the highway. The shaved doors and tailgate are a really neat feature and my son gets a kick out of having folks find the hidden electric opener. The body is nice and solid, as well as the running boards, and the wood bed are all in great shape. This is not a low end vehicle it is a very nice and complete truck This Dodge truck comes with the rare but cool looking low profile factory short bed. The info on its parts is what I have been told from the person who build it, and I have had no reason to doubt it. The paint is older, and has some paint chips from road trips , but still is really nice, . So it is time to say goodbye to my 56 Dodge pickup truck. I reserve the right to end the auction early in case I sell it locally. Here is some info below, I am sure I missed some of the stuff it has.

Dodge Scat Pack for 5.7L Hemi V8 detailed, priced
Sat, 05 Apr 2014Dodge revived the Scat Pack name back in November at the 2013 SEMA show. At the time, though, we were short of details on forthcoming upgrade packages, which were destined to add some oomph to the Challenger, Charger and Dart. We're still waiting to hear about the upgrades to the Dart's 2.4-liter four-pot, but Dodge has gone ahead and released the details on the upgrades to the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 in the Challenger and Charger R/T.
As we detailed in our original post, three different Scat Packs will be available that will allow customers to upgrade their cars without voiding the warranties. Starting with the $2,195 Stage 1 kit, owners will net an extra 18 horsepower and 18 pound-feet of torque thanks to a Mopar-branded cold-air intake, exhaust and ECU ref lash. Stage 1 is also the only package that could be installed outside of a Chrysler-authorized service center without voiding the warranty (a mechanically competent owner could even do it at home, we're told by Dodge). Stage 2 builds on the entry level Scat Pack, and adds performance camshaft kit, which boosts output over the stock 5.7 by up to 30 hp for $1,895. As with the Stage 1, the ECU is tweaked.
For those that want to go whole hog, they can add the Stage 3 for $4,995. The top-tier gets quite serious, adding CNC-ported cylinder heads, as well as high-flow headers and cats. Output over stock is 58 hp and 47 lb-ft of torque. Each kit comes with a pair of badges, just in case owners want a bit of visual flair.
Leno recalls '90s showdown with Tim Allen and his mullet
Wed, Oct 7 2015Not many of us have buddies with garages full of classic cars, but that isn't the case for Jay Leno and Tim Allen. Of course, one of the advantages for two guys with such vast collections is occasionally getting to pit their cars against each other. The two comedians did just that in the mid-'90s with a burnout battle on The Tonight Show between Allen in a race-prepped Mustang and Leno in a drag racer. After some time away from regular television, Leno is returning to the airwaves with a Jay Leno's Garage series premiering on Oct. 7 (tonight) at 10:00 p.m. ET on CNBC. Let this clip serve as another taste of what to expect for the new TV show's mix of comedy and cars. After reminiscing about the old days in a gorgeous garage, the comedians get into two modern machines to reprise the classic challenge – after a little trash talk anyway. Don't worry because the YouTube series isn't going anywhere, though.
Mopar rolls out new Scat Packages for Dodge Challenger, Charger and Dart
Tue, 05 Nov 2013Dodge buyers looking for that extra performance edge, take note: Mopar is bringing back the Scat Pack. Announced at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas today, the new Scat Packages will be available in three stages for the Challenger, Charger and Dart starting next spring.
Upgrades for the Charger and Challenger equipped with the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 engine include a
new cold-air intake and cat-back exhaust, as well as a remapped ECU. Upgrade to the Scat Package 2 and you get a new camshaft, and the Scat Package 3 tosses in ported and polished heads and hi-flow headers. Upgrades for the Dart GT with the smaller 2.4-liter, four-cylinder Tigershark engine with six-speed manual transmission start with a cold-air intake, short-throw shifter and upgraded brakes. The second stage kicks in a remapped ECU and cat-back exhaust, while the Scat Package 3 for the Dart gives you even bigger brakes, an adjustable suspension and sway bars front and rear.
