I've owned my 56 for a little over a year and a half. It was modified some when I bought it with stuff I wanted on it. Mine is a daily driver, working truck, street rod. I'm customizing it as a rolling resto. Once I have all the mods done, I will probably take it back down to the frame to finish out all the small stuf before paint and reassembly. I figure that will take another year. Counting the purchase price, I'll have mine finished out for under $20k. I've loved 56's since I was a kid (and they were new!) But it wasn't until about two years ago that I finally went for it and bought a street rod. I don't have pictures of it in my gallery yet. The paint is cracked and chipped from snowy winters in Nebraska. The wood in the bed is pretty warped too. My work so far has been on running gear. It has a rebuilt (and warmed up) 351C with a rebuilt FMX three speed auto trans, 3:50 posi 9 inch rear, aluminum rims (old ET mags) and street tires,front-tilt hood, remote oil and tranny coolers, Mustang II front with disc brakes, and it is shaved with remote door openers.
I would love to dialogue about any mods you're making, although my knowledge of the stock 56 reality is limited.

After you have more posts, you will be able to email us. Check in on some of the other threads here and get your post count up. Maybe start a new thread and introduce yourself and your truck. FTE protects us from getting spammed to death so you can't email us directly from here for a while. And welcome to the 48-60 forum. I bet there are at least 50 guys here with 56s. I am not one of them though.
