This 1956 Chevrolet 3100 pickup showcases the robust design of Chevy's "Task Force" era trucks. Its vibrant red paint grabs attention, complemented by gleaming chrome on the bumpers and grille. 16" American Racing wheels bring a modern touch, fitted with 225/70R16 front and 255/70R16 rear Goodyear tires. The truck's muscular stance and classic profile embody the spirit of 1950s American engineering. Inside the bed, rich wood planks blend functionality with style. From every angle, this '56 3100 represents a golden age of truck design, when power and practicality rode together in style.
Inside, the cabin has been thoroughly modernized without losing its vintage charm. Saddle-colored ultraleather bucket seats with a center console replace the original bench, offering comfort for long cruises. The dashboard houses Dakota Digital VHX gauges, providing precise readouts while maintaining a period-correct look. Power windows, a 6-way power driver's seat, and under-dash air conditioning bring 21st-century convenience to this mid-century icon. An overhead console cleverly integrates an Alpine AM/FM/CD head unit and speakers, preserving the dash's clean lines.
Lift the hood and you'll find a 327 cubic inch V8 engine, a significant upgrade from the original inline-six. This powerplant, featuring Summit aluminum heads and a Weiand intake, breathes through shorty headers and a MagnaFlow dual exhaust system. A Holley Sniper electronic fuel injection system ensures smooth operation and easy starting. Power is transmitted through a TH400 3-speed automatic transmission, making this truck as easy to drive as it is to admire. With only 1,163 miles on the rebuilt drivetrain, this Chevy 3100 is ready for many more years of cruising.
