1956 Chevy
![]()
1956 Chevy long bed pickup - Larry Charrlin drives this beautiful truck daily but it is still a work in progress with some metal and interior work left to do. Lately he wrote:
I have had the truck since 1994.
Most all of the truck is now finished. It is 98% stock. 265 V8, 4 spd Hydramatic. Original AM radio. Only no-stock modifications are to the bed, instead of pine wood painted black, I used oak, with eight coats of marine varnish. Paint has been finished for two years now. Two months ago, I bit the bullet on another non-stock item...I put in a twelve bolt positraction rear-end. 3.08 Much better in our Chicago winters. (This truck gets driven every day, all year round!)
