1956 Chevrolet 3600 Project - Pictures

[Daleo56]

I was lucky enough to find a cheap 1956 Chevrolet 3600 project truck here in Southern California for $650 on April 13,2013. It was missing the bed, engine, trans, interior and steering column. Since it was out of the California DMV system they need to inspect it and weigh it as a complete truck so now I am piecing it together so I can title it.

Since I bought it I have spent another $1,000 on a used 57' longbed (it is too long so I have to cut it), used tires and rims, a steering column, steering wheel and transmission. I already have a 56' 265 I want to use so I will bolt it all up this weekend and see if I can get it weighed.

Once I get title I just plan to paint it myself and use it as a shop truck. I want to keep it as close to stock looking as possible and just have fun building it with the wife. We already have a bunch of 56' Chevrolet cars so this is the perfect project for us.
