1956 GMC Blue Chip - First Time Classic Truck Owner
 
5 Attachment(s)
Hello from NE Florida.

I recently picked up a 1956 GMC Blue Chip. It is my first time owning a vintage/classic vehicle. Prior to this one, I believe the oldest car I'd ever ridden in was a 71 Duster (when I was a kid). So, everything about it is new to me.

Nevertheless, I am really excited about it and have big plans for it, although at this point, I have way more questions than solutions. Hopefully, I can glean information and help from 67-72chevytrucks contributors.

A little bit about the truck:
1956 GMC Big Window Pickup
454 Chevy Big Block with mild cam
Turbo 400 Trans w/Lokar Shifter
Aluminum intake & Holley dual feed carb
Headers into performance flowmaster exhaust
Serpentine Belt System
Aluminum Radiator w/Electric fan
Electronic Ignition
Crown Victoria Clip w/Power Rack & Pinion Steering
Power 4 Wheel Disc Brakes
Vintage Air AC
Ford 9” Rear end
Wood bed with stainless slats
Reupholstered bench seat
Patina

Thanks,
Ted
