56 First Bath in 13 yrs Barn Fresh

[ready2go69]

Ok guys I found a 56 Chevy 3600 standard bed, 6 cylinder, straight gear, fresh from the barn. I made the guy a offer and after several days he called and accepted. I first thought was v-8, Big cam, low, cut up, slice, hot rod, slammed, and cool rims and tires. Once I got the 13 years of dirt and grime off of it I ealized this truck may keep a factory look and stance. I turned the engine over today and it has good compression and should start as soon as I get a new switch (owner lost keys). This truck has the original oil bath air cleaner. The truck has been stored since owner passed, his 70 year old son sold it to me. I am going to show some pics


Very little rust and what I have found can be easily patched.
