1956 GMC SUBURBAN CARRIER PICKUP- THIS WAS A GMC VERSION OF THE CHEVY CAMEO TRUCK THAT WAS USED TO LURE PEOPLE INTO THE SHOWROOM. THIS TRUCK IS THE REAL DEAL. ONLY 1000 GMC VERSIONS WERE BUILT BETWEEN 55-58,WHILE 10,000 CHEVY CAMEOS WERE BUILT.IT IS POWERED BY THE ORIGINAL PONTIAC 317 V-8 2BBL WHICH WAS ON OPTION. 3 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK OUT OF A COLLECTION IN LOUISIANA THAT I HAVE KNOW ABOUT FOR 10 YEARS. IT WAS NICER BEFORE PUT INTO STORAGE. THE PAINT IS NOW WEAK AS SHOWN,AND IT HAS A FEW SMALL RUST SPOTS IN THE LOWER PART OF THE OUTER DOOR SKIN AND THE BOTTOM OF THE FENDERS AS SHOWN. THE FLOORS ARE SOLID . THERE IS SOME SURFACE RUST. I GOT THE TRUCK RUNNING BY SENDING THE CARB OUT FOR A REBUILD, CHANGING ALL THE FLUIDS, POINTS,BLEEDING THE BRAKES. I ALSO BOUGHT SOME NEW PARTS- BATTERY,DOOR PANELS,CHROME OUTSIDE MIRRORS,HEADLINER, FLOOR MAT. I FOUND AN ORIGINAL AIRCLEANER AND IT GOES WITH THE TRUCK. THE TRUCK RUNS AND DRIVES,BUT THE CLUTCH SHUDDERS SOME,IT MAY JUST HAVE SOME RUST ON THE FLYWHEEL FROM SITTING UP. THE TURN SIGNALS AND TAIL LIGHTS WORK,BUT NOT THE HEADLIGHTS. THIS IS A REALLY COOL TRUCK TO OWN, A REAL CONVERSATION PIECE. DRIVE IT AS IS ,OR PAINT IT AND DO SOME CHROME WORK. THE MILEAGE SHOWN IS 3000,BUT I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE ACTUAL MILEAGE IS.THE FIBERGLASS SPARE TIRE CARRIER IS MISSING,BUT THEY ARE AVAILABLE NEW OR I MAY PULL ON OFF MY PARTS TRUCK IS THIS IS AN ISSUE,BUT IT NEEDS SOME WORK AND IT WOULD BE CHEAPER TO BUY A NEW ONE.
