Breinigsville, Pennsylvania

Our featured 1956 Chevrolet 3100 pickup has been extensively restored and presents beautifully in the original shade of Crystal blue paint (code 734) with a 6’ stepside bed. Showing just over 10,000 miles; which is believed to be original according to the previous owner, it has been restored to a high standard and has seen only light use since completion. This was clearly a very nice truck to begin with, as evidence by the original paint on the firewall and the excellent body fit. This 3100 is fresh, exceptionally straight and ready for enjoyment. The oak bed floor has been beautifully refinished and the bed features matching custom wood rails with period-style Chevrolet signage. One of the best features of the 1956 Task Force 3100 is the gorgeous front end styling, the last year to feature the iconic egg-crate grille. Chrome plating quality on the grilles, bumpers and trim is excellent. Inside, the cab interior surfaces are finished in proper dove gray paint with a black dash panel. The seat has been reupholstered in the original pattern and color vinyl, while correct utilitarian rubber mats line the floor. The original jack is mounted in the factory location behind the seat, and this example is equipped with the optional heater mounted under the dash. This is of course a truck meant for work, so luxury is not exactly a strong suit, but it is however very correct, completely functional and a delight to drive. When it comes to working, the tried and true Thriftmaster inline six runs strong and propels this truck down the road at what is best described as a “relaxed” pace. You won’t win drag races, but you will have a ton (or a half-ton!) of fun out on the road. The 3-speed manual gearbox is operated via a column shifter, and rewards patience with a clean and smooth shifts. Brakes are very strong and handling is predictable on lovely whitewall bias-ply tires. Once up and running, the manual steering is easy to use. The refreshingly simple engine bay is exceptionally clean and very well detailed. It is clean and tidy with lots of room all around to work and nearly spotlessly clean. Function and reliability are the name of the game under the hood. The undercarriage is similarly clean, with all surfaces correctly finished and extremely well detailed. Few trucks of this era survived the rigors of work as well as this example. Most have been worked into the ground, or extensively modified. This truck survives in remarkably correct condition. Stylish and nostalgic, classic pickup trucks have a strong collector following. Thanks to the outstanding quality of this Chevrolet, it would be at home in a larger collection, or make a wonderful choice for a first time classic buyer. Charmingly simple, it is easy to use, even those new to the collector car world can quickly adapt, while more experienced collectors will feel right at home behind the wheel. While in our care, a comprehensive 108 point inspection was performed to ensure it is totally sorted and ready for use. Gorgeous to look at and a truckload of fun to drive, this is a no-disappointments Chevy truck that is ready for enjoyment.Contact Geoff Isabelle or Alex Ruozzi at 610-398-9700 for more information.
