I bought this truck in
1997, and it is currently in storage. I will be starting a restoration
in the near future (after I get moved to Montana in July). It is
a deluxe cab, full chrome, AM radio, three seats, deluxe heater, 316ci
V-8, 4-speed. It needs a lot of work, but it will be a lot of fun
to complete.
1956 was the first year that
GMC offered "factory" 4-wheel drive even though it was virtually the
same setup that was available
through NAPCO since the late 40's or early 50's. Chevy started offering
4-wheel drive in 57, but only with the 235ci/6 and a 4-speed. With
the GMC you could have a V-8 (courtesy of Pontiac) and an automatic trans.
Most of the other running gear was still the same.
