56 on CL

Disclaimer: its not mine!
I allways check CL and found this, I kept looking at the photos and couldn't figure out what he did to the truck until I read the whole ad. I am so used to the trucks the way they are that this one looks a little odd to me. For each person a truck is a canvas to express one's self.

Nice truck, a little pricey, but well done.

Re: 56 on CL

I've seen pictures of this truck before and always liked the way it "looked". Now I know why. It flows well. A friend did something very similar with his '55 Ford and it looked very good also.

This is California, everything is pricey. Basket cases are 3K, no engine or trans and normal rust.

Nice one!

Mine is also a original California car, but not as pricey as this one.
I had some work tho......

Re: 56 on CL

Well, if you compare this truck to the ones for sale for 15-20K, it's really not all that bad of a deal. Gotta throw in the uptick on the big back glass too!

Re: 56 on CL

As a California guy I still think it's a bit too pricey.

Also, no one else commented that it's listed as a '56 but it's got '57 fender emblems. I looked and it doesnt appear to have the '57 grill notches in front so who knows. Probably a conglomeration of parts from various trucks.
