56 behind the barn find

Picked up this 56 this weekend, been sitting several years but with about 30 minutes of love I had it running like a Singer sewing machine. Stock 235 with 50 some odd thousand original miles, body is in very good shape for a truck from Tennessee. Needs brakes gone thru, bed floor and wife to recover the seat. Will lower it a bit and make a nifty shop truck out of this one...

Yes they are still out there. I know of a 59 that has the shed falling in around it, owner is going to restore someday.... I keep going by.
