Up for sale is my 1956 Chevy 3100, small window, short bed, 4x4, bright green exterior color with matching green and yellow painted frame, floors and components, dark gray cloth interior with yellow accents. This truck is very unique and shows fantastic with a great shine and gets compliments wherever I go with it. Original Florida truck.

Since then, the truck has changed owners twice.
