We purchased this truck on April 24,2007. It is a 1956 Chevrolet short bed step side.

Below left getting the truck off the trailer, below right it is in the street but will not back up the drive way as the gas looks like coffee grounds.

It looks to be a solid truck. I had to replace every panel on mine (building 1955 Chevy truck). Are you going for a stock rebuild? Nice truck.
