1956 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup

HIGHLIGHTS:
• Chopped roof
• 383ci stroker V8 with modern accessories
• 700R4 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission
• Air conditioning, front disc brakes, and dual exhaust
• Custom bench seat with bolsters
• 20-inch steel wheels with chrome center caps
BODY OVERVIEW:
This is a striking take on the classic Task Force Chevy pickup, enhanced with a chopped roof and clean body lines that give it a distinct, sporty silhouette! Chrome bumpers and modern headlights complement the bold red-orange exterior, while 20-inch steel wheels and a dark wood bed add the right amount of flair. Hard to beat that chop-top look!
PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW:
The red-orange paint has a lively, eye-catching tone and suits this truck VERY nicely. While it’s not a recent respray and does show some imperfections and wear, it remains very presentable and well-suited for a truck intended to be driven. If you're looking for perfection, this may not be it—but if you're looking for character, you've found it! Notable imperfections are shown in the photos.
INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW:
The black interior features a nicely reupholstered bench seat with a TMI-style bolstered seat cover, offering more comfort than the factory could have dreamed of. A retro-modern gauge cluster, polished tilt steering column, 8-ball shifter, and cup holders blend vintage charm with everyday convenience (and style!). The Kenwood stereo adds a touch of modern entertainment, and the air conditioning system keeps things cool even on hot summer days.
MECHANICAL OVERVIEW:
Under the hood is where this truck really shines! The 383 stroker V8 is loaded with performance and visual upgrades: aluminum radiator, serpentine belt system, long tube headers, chrome alternator and brake booster, polished pulleys, Edelbrock intake, and more. The 700R4 automatic transmission with overdrive makes it highway-friendly, and the undercarriage features front disc brakes, tubular lower control arms, and chrome-tipped dual exhaust. It runs and drives exactly like a resto-mod should: powerful, confident, and fun. This truck is much easier to drive than an original would have been, and the modern conveniences are a fantastic addition–but it still has that 1956 feel!
WHAT YOU’LL LOVE ABOUT THIS CAR:
• The chopped roof gives it a custom, hot rod-inspired look
• A modern drivetrain with a powerful 383 and overdrive transmission
• Comfortable interior upgrades and cold A/C
• Classic looks with the performance to back them up!
WHAT YOU MIGHT HATE ABOUT THIS CAR:
• The paint shows wear consistent with an older paint job
• Purists may not be fans of the chopped top, although it's an overall mild chop, we estimate around 2-3 inches. For instance, A 6ft tall individual should have no problem with headroom.
• Not a full show truck—this one was built to be driven, not trailered!
DOES IT NEED ANYTHING?
• Nothing major—this truck is turn-key and ready to hit the road!
• The paint could be refreshed down the line if a show finish is desired.
• Buyers should note that the parking brake is not working, and the wiper arms have been removed.
WHAT BUYER IS LOOKING FOR THIS CAR?
This truck is for the enthusiast who loves classic looks but demands modern usability. Perfect for someone who wants to hit local shows, cruise comfortably, and enjoy every drive without worrying about rock chips or road rash. It’s a driver’s truck through and through—bold, built, and full of personality!
