Finally... My dream truck!!!

I have been lurking on the forum for a long time guys. I have been a member for a long time as well. But I joined because of my 7.3 F250. Don't hold it against me, but I've been driving a super nice 71 chevy cheyenne swb for years as my daily driver. BUT... I finally found a 56 big window that I could afford. It has an 86 mustang 5.0 HO motor and AOD tranny. It does have a 78 camaro clip already, which isn't my choice but i can live with it. And the clip was done right which helps a lot. Anyway, this is my new daily driver!!! Its not perfect, but its mine and will be til I can't drive anymore.

Thanks guys. I said good bye to the 67-72 forum guys, so I figured it was time to say hello to y'all. It worked out real well that I found the truck a few days prior to Pate swap meet because the 71 chevy sold fast!

Welcome, very nice 56.
You said something about the Pate swap. Are you from the Dallas area?

Very nice truck. I'm glad to see that it will be a daily driver. That beauty needs to be seen.
Would love to see some more pictures.
