I am selling a 1956 Chevrolet 3600 Pickup truck that is the complete package. Truck began life in sunny, dry California. About 15 years ago the former owner bought it and began a cross country trip to Massachusetts. Halfway across the country the motor blew and he installed a rebuilt 400 small block (sorry the old block is not available), and completed the trip. Upon reaching his destination, he spent the next 2 years buying over $5,000 worth of parts, catalogues and upgrades but sadly as is often the case the project stalled when life stepped in and now after a long dry storage this awesome truck is up for sale.


Truck is pretty much rust free but due to long storage has surface stuff you can see in the pictures but very slight. The frame is clean enough to eat off of! Interior is the same with solid floors. Some rust has appeared underneath doors but that is it. Truck runs fine but with todays "corn gas" naturally needs to be fine tuned with fresh fuel. A brand new fuel pump and 700 Holly carburetor were just installed.I ran it around town and everything works as it should including brakes. The power of this motor will please any new owner. Frame is spotless, interior is pretty much untouched with solid seat and floors. Body is very straight with only a couple small spots that need looking at. Brakes, suspension etc., are all working fine. Past owner planned to switch out the front end and all parts are there to finish if you choose, according to him. I took pictures of it all and it appears that except for a coupe bushings, he is correct.

Parts List;

400 small block, rebuilt
4 speed close ratio transmission
3.59 posi rear end
Hurst shifter
aluminum intake
headers
dual exhaust
electronic ignition
Holly 4-barrel carb
**New Mustang II front end 
   (independent front suspension, rack and pinion steering and 11 inch disc brakes)
   in boxes to be installed
New hardwood (appears to be teak or mahogany) kit and stainless steel bed kit in boxes to be installed
chrome water pump
brand new Holley 700 (installed)
brand new fuel pump (installed)
New Stainless Steel Adjustable Steering Column
New rubber gaskets for all windows unopened
New Power Brake booster and pedal
New Master Cylinder 
Sway Bar
Repair manuals and parts catalogues to assist in the project
Most boxes were unopened with original invoices included! Totaling over $5,000 from purchase dates
(Sadly, the tailgate was lost while motor was being installed but are available on line for less than $200.00)

This truck is the complete package for the Father and son project or retired gear head to complete and have a very rare truck that will be worth at least double what the package costs. These old trucks are harder and harder to find, especially in this condition with such an extensive group of parts. Truck comes with a clear MA title, so no issues for future registration to the new owner. Naturally the vehicle has no warranty due to age and due to being for sale locally I reserve the right to end the auction early. I am happy to help load vehicle for transport but shipping costs are the responsibility of new owner. I have tried to describe the truck honestly but probably am forgetting something, so I encourage questions since my mind reading skills are very poor.

Due to so many (not serious) people out there, I need to speak with anyone with either negative or less than 10 feedbacks, or the bids will be cancelled. This is serious business and I do not have the time, energy or money to deal with dishonest folks who ruin auctions.

Good luck bidding on this classic, collector truck. A nice running, driving, stopping , mostly rust free vehicle with a ton of parts and manuals to make you the talk of your local car shows!! You can enjoy driving the truck as is, while working on it. Many more pictures are available and I can shoot addition ones if you like. Please include a phone number with your questions and I will be happy to discuss this awesome truck with you.

Thanks for viewing my auction!!

Chevy, GMC and Ram dealers are worried they'll run out of new pickups

Wed, May 6 2020

One of the unexpected side effects of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic is a shortage of pickups at Chevrolet, GMC and Ram dealers. Supplies are running out, and the factories that build these trucks remain closed. Stores across the nation began increasing incentives in March, when the first stay-at-home orders were issued, in a bid to continue luring buyers into showrooms. They also launched online sales channels, or expanded their existing digital business. Sales nonetheless plummeted in April 2020, but in-demand vehicles, like the Ram 1500 and the Chevrolet Silverado, are still selling relatively well thanks in part to the aforementioned incentives. Pickups outsold sedans for the first time in April 2020, according to The Detroit News, by 17,000 units. The problem is that General Motors, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA), and Ford temporarily closed their factories in March. "The pipeline is very dry," said Mike Maroone, the CEO of a large dealership group named Maroone USA, in an interview with Automotive News. He told the publication his Chevrolet stores are sitting on a 30-day supply of the Silverado, which is one of America's best-selling vehicles. "That is a problem for us," he concluded. Coronavirus-related lockdowns and factory closures compound problems already faced by dealerships who represent General Motors-owned brands. They entered 2020 with a thinner inventory than a year earlier due to the 40-day United Auto Workers (UAW) strike that paralyzed the company late in 2019, and the 0%, 84-month offers announced in March have sapped supply. Ram wasn't affected by a strike, but it has relied heavily on generous incentives to move trucks off lots. Ford, on the other hand, limited incentives to 2019 models. Inventory levels differ greatly from region to region. The national average for the Silverado stood at an 82-day supply in March 2020, down from 120 in March 2019. Ram stores had a 114-day supply of the 1500 (compared to 134 a year earlier), while Ford bucked that trend with a 111-day supply versus 84 in 2019. Don't panic if you're in the market for a truck; we're not facing a complete drought. Automotive News added that America's light-duty pickup inventory could fall to 400,000 units by the end of May, and drop further to 260,000 units in June. For context, there were about 700,000 light-duty trucks in stock in May and June of 2019. That's unquestionably a sharp drop, but there will still be over a quarter of a million trucks to choose from.

GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes

Mon, 01 Oct 2012

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.

New Takata problem results in recall of 414 GM vehicles

Mon, Oct 19 2015

An airbag-inflator rupture discovered by Takata during testing has resulted in a new recall affecting 414 vehicles from General Motors, including 395 of them in the US. This latest campaign covers 2015 model-year examples of the Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac XTS, Chevrolet Camaro, Equinox, Malibu, and GMC Terrain. There are no reported breaks in any of these vehicles on the road, and the company estimates only one percent of them actually have the faulty parts. According to documents submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (as a PDF), one side-airbag inflator failed a cold test at -40 Fahrenheit "releasing high pressure gas and propelling the separated components apart." The supplier told GM about the failure the next day. In these vehicles, the safety device might not only burst but the bag could inflate incorrectly, as well. GM and Takata say that a cause is not yet known, but they are "conducting an investigation." GM will begin notifying affected owners via overnight mail on Oct. 19. Dealers will replace the side airbag modules on all of the affected vehicles with new components outside of the suspect lot. All of the removed parts will also be collected for further study. Takata's faulty front airbag inflators have resulted in a serious scandal for the supplier. Initial figures indicated 34 million US vehicles are need of repair, though more recent figures have knocked that down to 23.4 million bad parts in 19.2 million automobiles. GM was already among the dozen automakers with models to fix, and some of its pickups were affected, along with the Saab 9-2X and Pontiac Vibe. GM Statement: General Motors is recalling 395 cars and crossovers in the U.S. because one of the front seat side air bags inflators may be defective. In the event of a deployment, the air bag's inflator may rupture and the air bag may not properly inflate. The rupture could cause metal fragments to strike the vehicle occupants, potentially resulting in serious injury or death. GM is unaware of any incidents involving vehicles with these components, which were part of a lot in which one inflator failed acceptance testing at the supplier. Dealers will replace the side air bag module or modules in affected vehicles. Including Canada, Mexico and exports, the total population of the recall is 414, GM estimates 1 percent of the recalled vehicles may have the defect.
