Cheap Thrills: Chevy Pickup

This 1956 Chevy pickup in Baltimore is listed as a project. But outside of the exterior coat of many colors and missing front bumper (which we think looks about right on a truck this old) the project seems about finished.
And what has been done already looks done right.The engine bay appears as I imagine it must have when the original owner drove it home. That's a Blue Flame six-cylinder hooked up to a three-speed on the column, which makes this truck a blast to drive.
The interior also looksin excellent shape with a redone bench seat. Seller is asking $4,000. Seems like an excellent starting point for serious negotiation. Get this on the street and enjoy it. Or shoot it with a coat of red and have one fine truck. Either way, a fun winter project.
