350-Powered 1956 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup

This 1956 Chevrolet 3100 stepside pickup underwent a refurbishment in 2015, featuring a vibrant yellow exterior paired with a two-tone beige leather interior. Its power comes from a 350ci V8 engine, originally from a 1973 Camaro, which includes a high-performance camshaft, an Edelbrock intake manifold, and tubular headers. This engine is mated to a three-speed automatic transmission and 3.73:1 rear gears. Additional features include 15″ smoothie wheels with chrome hubcaps, power steering, front disc brakes, a wood-trimmed bed floor, power windows, a mahogany steering wheel, AutoMeter gauges, and a Kenwood Bluetooth stereo system connected to aftermarket speakers. Acquired by the seller in 2021, the truck comes with service records and a clean California title.

The exterior, refinished in yellow by a previous owner, boasts a chrome grille, bumpers, bed steps, a windshield visor, a tow ball, and a refurbished pickup bed with wood planks and chrome runners. However, the left windshield wiper is non-functional.

The truck rides on white 15″ smoothie steel wheels with BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires and features a Camaro-sourced front suspension with front disc brakes and power steering.

The cab, refurbished under prior ownership, includes two-tone tan leather bolstered seats extending to the center console, headliner, and door panels. Features include a power-adjustable driver’s seat, square-weave carpeting, power windows, and a Kenwood Bluetooth head unit linked to aftermarket speakers, although the passenger door trim needs adjustment.

A wood-rimmed steering wheel on a chrome tilting column fronts an AutoMeter 120-mph speedometer and gauges for voltage, water temperature, fuel level, and oil pressure. The five-digit odometer shows 6k miles, with approximately 5k added by the current owner. The total mileage is unknown.

The 350ci V8 engine, reportedly bored .060″ over, includes an Edelbrock intake manifold, air cleaner assembly, Corvette-specification cylinder heads, and a high-performance camshaft. Power is delivered to the rear wheels via a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission with a 2,000-rpm stall speed torque converter and 3.73:1 rear axle gearing. Tubular headers connect to a dual exhaust system with Flowmaster mufflers, which turn down ahead of the rear axle.
