First time in Alaska for me was last year on a 10,300 mile motorcycle trip to as far as you can go by road DeadHorse.Man even in June we hit some 28 degree temps!I really like the 55/56/57 chevys and like the grill more in the 55/56.Only way I tell a second gen 55 and a 56 apart is the hood badge but sure these guys know lots more ways.Had a few 235 and one 260 six.Like its wider looking valve cover better than the 250 and 292 six owned.Love the old trucks of any brand.
