Well, let me tell ya somethin’ about them 1956 Chevy pickup trucks. Folks are always lookin’ for ’em, ya know? They say they’re real somethin’. I ain’t no expert, mind you, but I’ve seen a few in my time, back when they were just workin’ trucks, not fancy showpieces.
Now, this here ’56 Chevy, they didn’t change much from the year before, from what I hear. But they did move that little nameplate thingy up higher, on the side there, above that crease. And they slapped a new shiny thing on the hood. Made it look a bit fancier, I guess. Prices went up too, you know how it is. Everything gets more expensive, ain’t nothin’ new.
- They say the V-8 engine, the one they called Trademaster, well, it got stronger. 155 horses, they say. That’s a lot of horses, more than old Bessie ever had, and she was a strong one.
- And the six-cylinder one, it got a boost too. 140 horses, they tell me. Fast enough to get you where you need to go, that’s for sure.
I heard tell these trucks were mighty quick back then. Said they could get to 60 miles an hour in just under 9 seconds. That’s flyin’, let me tell ya. Especially for a truck, and for the price they was sellin’ ’em for. Two thousand dollars, maybe a bit more. That was a lot of money back then, but folks still wanted ’em.
Now, if you’re lookin’ to buy a 1956 Chevy pickup truck today, well, good luck to ya. They ain’t makin’ ’em anymore, you know. You gotta find one that’s already been used, maybe fixed up a bit. And that can cost ya a pretty penny.
Where to find a 1956 Chevy pickup for sale? Well, some folks say you can find ’em on somethin’ called eBay. That’s on the internet, they tell me. I ain’t never used it myself, but the young folks are always on it. They say you can find just about anythin’ on there, even old trucks like this one.
They also say there’s free shippin’ on some of them trucks, which sounds like a good deal to me. And they got all sorts of brands, not just Chevy, though Chevy’s the one we’re talkin’ about now. But they say you can find all sorts of deals, cheap prices they call ’em, on trucks if you look hard enough. You just gotta know where to look and be careful who you’re dealin’ with. There’s always some folks tryin’ to pull a fast one, you know?
You can also find these trucks, I hear, at places that sell used cars and trucks. They might have one sittin’ around, all dusty and forgotten. You gotta be willin’ to do a bit of diggin’, though. And you might have to haggle a bit, get the price down to somethin’ you can afford. That’s what my old man always did, and he was good at it too.
But be warned, these old trucks, they ain’t always in the best shape. They’ve been around for a long time, you know. They might need some work, maybe a new engine, maybe some new paint. And that can cost ya even more money. So you gotta be prepared for that.
But if you got your heart set on a 1956 Chevy pickup truck, and you got the money to spend, well, then go for it. They’re classic trucks, they say. A piece of history. And there’s plenty of 1956 Chevrolet cars and trucks available if you know where to look. Folks love ’em. They remind them of a simpler time, maybe. When things were a bit slower, and a bit more honest. Or maybe they just like the way they look. Either way, it’s your money, you do what you want with it.
Just remember to do your homework, as the young folks say. Check the prices, check the condition of the truck, and don’t be afraid to walk away if somethin’ don’t feel right. There’s plenty of fish in the sea, as they say, or trucks in this case. You’ll find the right one eventually, if you’re patient and persistent.
And if you do end up gettin’ yourself a 1956 Chevy pickup truck, take good care of it. It’s a piece of history, like I said. And it’ll probably last longer than any of them newfangled cars they’re makin’ today.
So that’s what I know about them ‘56 Chevy trucks. Not much, maybe, but it’s the truth as I see it. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I got some chores to do.
