1956 GMC 100

This 1956 GMC 100 Truck is for sale on our Louisville KY showroom. 1956 was a new era for truck sales with General Motors. The plan was to start advertising GMC as the classier truck, with features like the new Road Dampening System they were on their way. Designed to drive and ride more like a passenger car than a freight truck the new series was an instant success. This 56 has lived a much pampered life with just recently being sold from the original owner making it a 2 owner car. The truck was so well taken care of that the wood on the bed is even the original wood. All panels are the ones that came on the truck and it definitely shows with great body lines and of course not a lick of rust anywhere. The two tone turquoise and white paint looks period correct and is in excellent shape. The bumpers and other trim pieces are in excellent condition as well complimenting the fresh paint nicely. Under the hood a classic small block 350 crate engine was sourced giving this classic truck plenty of reliable power. With only 11k miles put on it since installed it really hasn't even been broken in yet. The very rare Bulldog transmission was rebuilt as well with a super low granny gear that feels like you could pull a house off its foundation. The best thing though is you can still cruise on the highway at 70 and only turn about 2300 RPM. The interior has been completely redone and looks like it came right out of 1956. Bringing the outside in with the bench seat covered in turquoise and white vinyl it definitely ties everything together. If you are looking for a fun truck to take to car shows or something to drive around town with your fishing poles in the back either way this truck is ready for whatever you throw at. Options on this 1956 GMC 100 truck include; AM, Vinyl Interior, and Aluminum Wheels with Radial White Wall Tires.
