This is my Tastefully Customized 56 Chevy Pickup.. It has been my reliable daily driver for the past 2 years including the occasional hauling of “Barn Finds” for fellow car enthusiasts back to the car club using a Two wheel dolly trailer (setup nicely with electric disc brake so not hard on the truck at all) and it’s a well know local showpiece for my business in these parts and has won a number of trophies at local shows. I have been slowly restoring it while always having it in top driving condition. As I restore vehicles for other people my own always takes longer since it’s at the back of the line but I finally have it all finished and for me that means I need to sell it so I have something else to tinker with as that is a large part of the enjoyment for me.
