This is my 1956 Chevrolet Task Force 3100 Pickup, It has just undergone a 10 year complete frame off restoration, so I'm pleased to say it's FINALLY DONE.

I originally got the truck from Oregon and moved it here in Michigan, I drove it for about 2 weeks, then decided to have it restored, I had a local restorer of vintage cars take on the task of doing my truck like his cars, he's old and slow but very good at body work and painting.

I assembled everything on the truck and put as many NOS parts I could find to keep this a Numbers Matching truck,( Date code glass, Original paint colors etc.) this was a very original truck when I purchased it, I tried to cover every detail from the front to the back, I hope the pictures show that, I plan on getting a trailer for it and taking it to some real good shows to get it judged for Points.

THANKS FOR THE NICE TRUCK SIGHT.....

Steve -

You nailed it! You get 101 points on my judging scale. Every detail is perfect - including the Delco battery (which ain't cheap) Thanks for sharing.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.

Thank you all.....At this point the truck will not be driven, I would like to take it to some nice shows in the future, does anyone know of some good point judging shows? As for now I'm just admiring it in the garage.....STEVE M

She is a very nice truck! A lot of sweat equity in her for sure. I understand the anxiety of driving her. I felt the same way about my NAPCO. But I must truly say, I enjoy her in such a different way, and so does everyone else that see her, when I take her out on the road. It is a different level of appreciation. Plus it gets easier to make the decision each time I take her out. It helps that I am neuroic enough to enjoy detailing her undercarriage after each ride. Thanks for sharing her.

Steve--great looking truck & job well done!! I am in the process of doing similar work to my 57--but not to the degree of original detail you have done.
