1956 GMC LCF found while camping - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I found this 19569 GMC lcf. Pontiac v8, 4 speed, Power steering, hydrovac brakes. Bringing it home in September. Just have to figure out what I have.

Looks like a cool project waiting to be done.

Keep us posted on it.

**special-K** · 07-09-2013, 05:58 AM

Don't see them like that anymore. It's a cool configuration being a LWB tandem with V8/4spd. I wonder what it's original use was. Oh,and were did you go camping?

**buggy5872** · 07-09-2013, 10:48 AM

It hauled grapes in some kind of big wire baskets. Its really long. The bed is beat and the tag axle is just cobbled on it. They are pulling the bed off and cutting the frame behind the first rear axle. I do not need it to be that long. If the second axle was a drive axle or even a nice install, I would keep it. Its going to be a roll back or ramp truck when I get it together. I was in New York near Jamestown.

C10 - C90 Bill · 07-09-2013, 02:22 PM

I kind of figured it was a Tag. Going back to a Single Axle will make it a nice Rollback.

Your 57 LFC is super cool, I'm sure this will be the same.

**buggy5872** · 08-08-2013, 10:48 AM

Turn out my 56 is actually a 59 now that the paperwork on it has been found....

Katrina/10 · 08-09-2013, 08:13 AM

Then it should have more headlights, I think.

alsriv2 · 08-09-2013, 01:28 PM

Sharp looking truck. A little TLC and it will be a fun truck to have for sure.

diablo03 · 08-09-2013, 11:18 PM

i do believe buggy is capable of the TLC it needs....His other build was amazing

GMC LCF trucks never got the extra headlights in 58 and 59.

Thanks for the info, I didn't know that!

**buggy5872** · 09-06-2013, 12:56 PM

Headed up to NY this weekend to pick it up....

diablo03 · 09-06-2013, 01:12 PM

I am envious of your findings...lol

I can't wait to see the build on this one....what are the plans for it?

Between you and atvpro I'm ready to start looking for one myself....***looks around for what i can sell to make the funds***

**buggy5872** · 09-09-2013, 09:55 AM

Made it up and back with no issues.... Just fit on the trailer.

It will sit for a while now. I have to get my new shop built before I can start on it. Should have to new shop up in the spring.

Katrina/10 · 09-09-2013, 10:12 AM

That was a thight fit! Glad you made it.

diablo03 · 09-09-2013, 11:01 AM

Nice score and your shop sounds awesome!

59 Viking · 09-10-2013, 09:51 PM

Nice truck! How come Big Bertha did not haul her younger sibling home? That would have been quite a site going down the highway.

**buggy5872** · 09-10-2013, 10:43 PM
