That '56 looks great except for the rims and tires but to each there own.
That limo truck, well not sure how you would drive that
The van, that looks good to me but not sure how it would turn unless the middle 2 or 3 sets of tires are self steering.
My guess would be the 56 is photo shopped ( at least that's my wish ) . I understand that everyone should build to their vision but to me the people that find those wheels impressive are not the people that would have any interest whatsoever in a vintage truck .

Might have to ask FOMOKO1 to be sure, I found a Nichols Fab 2017 auction truck. No photoshop here, unless you count post image production. Not sure, but I think they also used a 150mm lens or slow shutter speed to get all that depth of field. Just glad they didn't use a magnesium flash powder when they took the photo.
I guess restomods have their place too. I saw this Chip Foose vehicle and began to appreciate the past and future brought together.
Years ago my neighbor's teenager wanted an old truck. Why not, mom drove one (foreground) dad built and drove several (middle). So, with the promise she would help, she had a truck for high school (background).
Reminising she said, "There were some kids who laughed at me driving such and old truck. But the teachers didn't." Taking it one step further in their direction, who wants their kid driving an antique looking vehicle to high school without power steering and brakes? Of course I was the smart#%* that used Photoshop to put my dog in the front seat. Kids now days! I can't wait to call chrome and stainless antiques. Enjoy your morning FTE.

I actually like the use of the shoebox grille, i think that works quite well. Maybe have a nice tall radius to the top curve with a chrome bezel around it, that would look entirely period on a stock truck.
This looks like one for one of the "reality" TV shows where they buy a total piece of junk, dump a crate engine in it, patch the rust outs, cover the patches with fake "patina", clear coat overall and sell it to a 60 something goof for $100K, making a $20K profit. All done in three weeks including the extreme problem just as the customer is coming to pick it up.
The seller is asking $13500 for it (about $13K more than it's worth, IMHO). If you end up getting for $10K you could easily stick $100K into, or more, and have a vehicle worth about $50K if you could find the right buyer.
It may be rare but that doesn't mean it worth much. Its just a pile of rusty junk worth scrap price.
Not sure how you get to $13,500.00 Could be an interesting resurrection but man that is a lot of fab work. Not real sure what is good enough to work with on it. But a cool old truck for sure. Would look great as a big pick up. I'd look at it if it was much closer.
Seller has a You Tube channel where he picks up vehicles and sometimes gets them running. Kind of interesting, but I don't know if he gets the prices he's asking.
