This exceptional 1956 Chevy Show Truck, three year long build completed approximately in 2014, with only 2,725 miles driven since. It is truly an amazing, one of a kind masterpiece that needs to be seen in person to fully appreciate the craftsmanship. Designed to land in the top 10 at just about any car show you enter, this award winning build spared no expense. There is way too much to list, but around 100 pictures and an extensive walk around video are available so you can see the quality for yourself. The vehicle is sold with a clear title.
Exterior and Bed
The stunning exterior boasts an award winning 10 out of 10 two tone Matador Red and Champagne paint job featuring mini metallic flake. A custom pinstripe scheme wraps 360 degrees around the truck, painted smoothly under the clear coat. The front end is highlighted by a custom fabricated, one of a kind floating grill and custom made front wheels. Out back, a power electric rear bed lift reveals a breathtaking Curley Maple wood bed finished with extensive clear coats.
Interior and Comfort
Inside the cabin is a full, two tone custom leather interior detailed with chevron emblems and custom stitching. The luxurious feel is carried through the door panels, which feature integrated Curley Maple wood panels and handles. The dash has been completely custom fabricated and houses a custom 55 Chevy gauge cluster, Vintage Air AC and heat with digital controls, and a 6 inch digital display remote controlled AM/FM CD stereo. Comfort and convenience are maximized with 6 way power front bucket seats, power windows, power door locks, and power side mirrors. A custom center console with a Curley Maple slider top and fiber optic accent lighting in both the console and doors complete the high end feel.
Disclosure: The power back window is currently non operational due to a suspected switch or electrical issue.
Engine and Performance
Powering this showpiece is an LS1 GM new crate engine paired with a 700R4 overdrive transmission, both having logged only 2,725 miles. The entire engine bay has been custom fabricated, showcasing a meticulously detailed firewall, custom valve covers, a polished chrome intake, and custom hood hinges. Additional mechanical highlights include:
Custom color coded chrome top aluminum radiator paired with dual electric cooling fans.
Ceramic coated headers breathing into a full stainless steel exhaust system.
A stainless steel fuel tank to efficiently support the modern drivetrain.
Suspension and Brakes
The truck rides on a fully custom suspension front and rear, giving it an aggressive stance and smooth ride. It is equipped with an AccuAir air bag system featuring 4 corner individual controls. Stopping power is expertly handled by premium Wilwood 6 piston disc brakes clamping down on slotted and drilled rotors on both the front and back.
