I did a 56.

Back in my gearhead days, I did a 56. I liked the overhead body lip over the windshield on the 56. It was pristine gloss black, and I did yellow-to-orange-to red flames on it. It did turn some heads.:) I had a stock 272, and three on the tree, and drove it daily for several years. Unfortunately, I gave away all my car pics, and don't have one to share.

The aftermarket guys make every part you might need for it in repop, all you need is a checkbook.:) Google to gitchee a fat catalog for an outhouse wishbook. Have fun, those are the most beautimous pickups ever made by anybody.
