Description
1956 Chevrolet GMC Pickup
This rare big window truck is a very high spec. Superbly finished & constructed machine. Rumored to have been built at the Boyd Coddington Rod Shop by a staff member for his own personal use.
The truck drives & handles like a modern vehicle and is offered today in immaculate order. Not to be confused with other inferior builds out there. You can really see & feel the difference
She is powered by an uprated 350ci Corvette Tuned Port Injection engine with alloy heads. Mated to a smooth 700R9 4 speed overdrive box with Locar shifter. Offering brisk performance if required, but also economy. Incredibly, she cruises at 1500 rpm at motorway speeds. The engine sits in a clean & detailed engine bay and is fitted with high quality ancillaries. Custom headers & 3" exhaust with remote operated side cut-outs
.
The cab has an inkeeping bench seat, modern instruments and a great Alpine sound system as well as ice cold Air-Conditioning & electric windows.
Suspension & drive train is provided by a fully refurbished '74 Camaro drive train with Air Ride air supension and management. The truck has power disc brakes & power steering.
Rear bed features a bespoke fitted motorbike ramp (see pics). Very easy to operate.
The super straight paint was applied by the respected Larry Ward and has some subtle pinstriping on the bonnet & Tailgate.
