Description

A true staple of the American road scene and classic American culture, its hard to beat a classic pickup truck, and the task force era Chevy pickups stand as some of the best ever made.

This 1956 3200 long bed is a thoroughly charming example of the beloved model. Its a dry state, South Dakota truck, boasting a great, genuine patina, legendary straight six driveline and the desirable wrap around 'big window' wrap around glass.

Its finished in a period seafoam green / turquoise colourway and exhibits with a quality, well earned patina that simply cant be replicated. This being said, the chrome bumpers look to be in good order, with the rear looking to be a newly fitted piece. As highlighted in the accompanying photos, there are some cracks to the drivers side window glass and quarter light, but the window itself still functions correctly. The inside presents in a similar form to the outside, largely original with honest, expected wear and tear.

Mechanically the truck appears to be in fine fettle, with a straight six, understood to be the 235cu unit paired to a three speed column shift manual transmission. We have taken it for a short test drive around our farm and t performed without issue; starting, running, driving and stopping.
