1956 Chevrolet 3200 Pickup Rat RodBuilt in the Traditional-Style, She sits low with just the right stance, and drives excellent. Best of all, no airbags or switches to deal with.The truck is a 1956 Chevrolet 3200 long box. Most of the trucks you see are the shorter 3100's making this one pretty unique. It sat on a farm for almost 30 years before being rescued and brought back to life. Its been completely redone mechanically, but still wears the original patina acquired during its life on the farm. Built over a 1976 Chevrolet 2wd Suburban frame and running gear, it is the best combination of modern drive-line and classic patina!This Truck was Featured (Centerfold) in the very First Issue of Rat Rod Magazine May 2010 Here are some details of the build:The Frame was shortened 2' to fit the wheel wells of the 1956 body. It was then narrowed 6" in the front.The front suspension consists of 3" Drop Spindles, 2" Drop Coils, custom upper A arms, new shocksPower Steering with the tried and true Mustang II Rack and PinionFreshly Rebuilt 454 Big BlockThe engine breathes through a new Holley 650, over the rail race headers, and straight 4" exhaust (4" exhaust/headers were recently updated and can be seen in the later photos)Turbo 400 Transmission with B&M Shift kit, and floor shifter4 core radiator cooled by dual Flex Lite Electric FansNew Power brakes on all four corners w/ rebuilt master and power booster12 Bolt rear end with 3:73 gears and spooled The back of the truck was lowered with new rear leafs, axle over the springs, and new shocksThe entire firewall, cab floor, and bed floor was painstakingly custom fabricated out of steel diamond plateThe interior was left to its original patina (in true rat rod fashion)Original Seat (looks uncomfortable, but it isn't)Original dash with a few upgrades: Tach and GPS.

The 454 moves her like a rocket down the road, and can smoke both rears for days. You can cruise down the highway at 60mph with two fingers on the wheel, thanks to the power steering. The power brakes stop this beast like a modern day ride.The build was completed in 2008 (exhaust was updated in 2013)Passed the NSRA strict Vehicle Safety Certification Inspection in 2010The Truck has a clear Minnesota Title and is titled on the 1976 Chevy Chassis vin #CCS166Fl37768 Any questions feel free to call, text, or email me: 612-986-9124 bombollis@gmail.comSold As-Is Where Is, Buyer Responsible for Shipping Expenses (I can help with shipping arrangements) On Nov-08-13 at 09:04:40 PST, seller added the following information:
