I am sorry to say I am selling my 56 Dodge Custom Pickup. A really great ride that is not getting out much since we have picked up a Mustang GT Convertible to cruise around in on nice days. It is to nice to just sit. I purchased this truck almost four years ago out of a dealership in Nebraska. It was built for show and was shown at shows in the Midwest. I purchased it so I could enjoy a ride that does not need to be worked on, and rides smooth like a modern car. It has worked out just perfect and all we have done is change the oil, filter and clean it. I purchased it because it was not the same as other old trucks around and it looked really cool with the neat bed and stance, oh and this is the last year for the butterfly hood . It sounds great with a low rumble loud enough to let you know it is not your stock truck, but not to loud to become a bother when you are cruising. The truck has no rattles this is due primarily to the Bear Claw locks on both the doors and the tailgate, when a door his shut it sucks it in nice and tight. I get lots of looks and thumbs up. I often take it to work which is a 50 mile round trip on the highway. The shaved doors and tailgate are a really neat feature and my son gets a kick out of having folks find the hidden electric opener. The body is nice and solid top to bottom, as well as the running boards, and the wood bed are all in great shape. This Dodge truck comes with the rare but cool looking low profile factory short bed. The info on what parts are on the truck is what I have been told from the person who built it, and I have had no reason to doubt it. This is an older paint job, and it has some paint chips scratch's, but still is really nice. The interior as you can see was stitched two tone to match the two tone paint. A lot of work went into this build. It was build for show, so under the hood and dash had to be clean and uncluttered so the heater and wiper motors were removed. It has a cigarette lighter to plug in a small electric heater if desired and I use rainx on the windshield. The truck had its yearly New York state inspection last week and while it was in the garage I took some pictures of the underside. The mechanic checked out the suspension and said it was nice and tight and could go anywhere. I took some video and it came out nice but I could not compress it enough under 25MB which is to bad since it looks and sounds so nice. So it is time to say goodbye to my 56 Dodge pickup truck. I reserve the right to end the auction early in case I sell it locally. Here is some info below, I am sure I missed some of the stuff it has.
