Description One thing thats really good and thats a really Bad 56 Chevy Pickup truck. Theres just little that looks as superb as this Silver and Blue Chevy. Maybe the colors champaign. Thats what everybodys calling that slightly goldeny silver lately. Suits it if U ask me ~:o)Those 55 & 56 chevy pickup trucks seemed to mark a concerted effort to make the interior a bit larger. In the forties and early fifties the cabs were just a tad small. That is unless u liked rapping the back of ur head on the receding end of a trucks insides Ha! And the twisted position ur accelerator foot ended in was torture! Until u learned to push it with ur heel and even that didnt always work out.Before mid-century, say back in the twenties and thirties pickups were even smaller inside. They gave the appearance of being designed for the guys that fitted into medieval armour. Uve seen em bout 4 feet tall more like child size. Anyway back to the 56 Chevy Pickup in this image. This bewdy was on display at the Luckenbach Rod Show couple years back up in the Texas Hillcountry. We finally got a chance to photograph it in the cool of the evening. Moonless night I might add. Course theyre all moonless until that orb comes up over the horizon yeh ~:0)This 56 Chevy Pickup is powered by my kind of engine. Its running a nice small-block and normally aspirated That keeps things simple and ur usually not going to be breaking transmissions or rear-ends. That sort of thinking still makes the truck go and less costly I might add. Good to have a dependable ride for sure. ~:0)This nice 56 Chevy Pickup would make a nice everyday driver if the paint werent quite so nice. And itd be one fab rat rod if it werent in such nice rust-free condition. Naturally those circumstances determine what u gonna do with the rod. That and the size of ur pocket-book. Its a good thing that works of art like the prints of this truck and the others at VivaChas! and Hot Rodney Hot Ro
