Stunning 1956 Chevy 3100 pickup with LS1 383 Stroker engine, custom build, and only 240 miles since completion.
A jaw-dropping 1956 Chevrolet 3100 pickup truck, freshly restored with custom features and high-performance hardware, is now turning heads in Massachusetts. With just 240 miles since completion, this unique build represents the pinnacle of classic American truck style fused with modern engineering.
Finished in a breathtaking PPG Sunset Amberdrop Pearl—a paint job reportedly costing nearly $30,000—this 3100 is a rolling showcase of craftsmanship. The shaved door handles and emblems, custom hood, and Cadillac-style taillights give it a sleek, tailored appearance, while a seamless oak bed with custom woodworking adds vintage warmth to its overall presence.
Under the hood lies an LS1-based 383 cubic-inch Stroker V8 mated to a 4L60E four-speed automatic transmission. The powertrain is supported by a modern Total Cost Involved Engineering chassis with a Mustang II front suspension, 4-link rear setup, and 9-inch rear axle with 3.55 gearing. Stopping power comes from Wilwood 4-wheel disc brakes, and the sound is channeled through a mandrel-bent stainless exhaust system with Borla mufflers.
Rolling on staggered Foose Legend wheels—17-inch up front and 18-inch in the rear—wrapped in Goodyear rubber, this truck has the perfect stance to match its street presence. Inside, the custom tan leather upholstery, Classic Instruments digital dash, and Vintage Air A/C make the cabin as comfortable as it is stylish.
The build, spearheaded by Jeff Thomas and a team of skilled specialists from across Michigan, is a testament to the quality and dedication put into every detail—from glasswork and upholstery to transmission and paint. It even features a modern Kenwood sound system with satellite radio and Bluetooth.
With its meticulous craftsmanship, show-ready finish, and reliable modern drivetrain, this 1956 Chevrolet 3100 pickup is not just a custom truck—it’s a rolling piece of art, ready for cruising or collecting. For buyers seeking a truly one-of-a-kind blend of performance, history, and show car appeal, this Chevy may be the perfect fit.
