A lot of money being spent last night and much more to come. I'd have sold him my Chevy for half that.

Hmmm...

"This truck is a one year only production where the Pontiac model engine was used."

I think he is a little confused..

I agree that the 'One Year' Pontiac engine comment is incorrect.

I do not think it has the correct tailgate either, shouldn't it have the script letters, not the block letters?

Is that a correct steering wheel?

Don't get me wrong, it is a very nice truck. Big back window and V8!

when I was young my dad had a 59 GMC short stepside with a pontiac V8 engine, cool truck & it cranked to....

My 59 GMC is a Canadian truck and therefore came with the Chevrolet engine, which in my case is a good old 235!

After a bit of research ...Yes!.. Wrong steering wheel ..Should have the bent spokes.
And.. For a factory V8 there is no logo on the fenders.
My 56 had the Pontiac engine with standard transmission.
The ones with the automatic had the "Hydramatic" Logo on the bottom of the GMC logo.

And you are also correct about the tailgate.....no block letters...

Right Blaine, my '56 Jimmy tailgate has the script to match the hood emblem.
