1956 GMC Pickup Pickup White RWD Manual 100
1956 GMC Pickup 100
Vehicle DetailsThis is one of the last remaining solid,
original GMC trucks on earth!! This is a documented California truck from San Bernardino. Was a service truck for the Cooley family plumbing company in the 50s and 60s, the plumbing/hardware store is still in business in San Bernardino, California today. Truck only has 64,000 original miles!!
I have registration paperwork from 1961, receipts and paperwork for parts and repairs from 1998 - 2020s. Includes documents for engine head rebuild and lower engine and transmission work and parts. Also early advertising magazines and calendars. I recently had a $3000 tow hitch system professionally installed on the truck which includes a trailer brake controller, 7 pin trailer plug and is welded to the frame of the truck.
Truck is stored inside for more than a decade. Mainly used for home projects, car meets and parades. Runs and drives excellent.
Body is very, very straight with no rust issues. Original color was cream. Years ago the exterior of the truck was completely covered in gloss gloss white rustoleum paint. This paint was thick, and was rolled on, I believe this is what has contributed to saving the body from rust. That said, the paint is rough in places and has a unique patina. Underneath the paint, the original color still exists. The wheel caps are original. When I purchased the truck they were the original cream color. I removed the paint with aircraft stripper revealing the almost 70 year old hidden chrome. The cover on the spare tire is a replacement. The current tires are radial Yokohamas with a added whitewall for a classic effect. They’re are like new, $1,400.
The engine is 270 6 cylinder, it’s the original engine to the truck and was completely rebuilt. No longer has points, and is converted to 12 volts with a Delco-Remy generator. It has a rebuilt starter, water pump, brake cylinder, carburetor. Very clean motor with no major leaks.
This truck has been garaged for many years and is a true hard to find time capsule.
