Vehicle Description Here is the story behind this beautiful 1956 Chevy Suburban.
Seven years ago, the restorer was approached by a customer with this nice, rust free 1956 Suburban and he wanted it restored back to as close to original as we could to transport his children to soccer games.
It took and year and a half to do and extensive restoration.
It was too nice and he used it for only 175 miles on the truck, taking his two boys and their friends to soccer.
he probably didn't burn a full tank of gas.
The truck is just like it was delivered.
The truck was pretty much a rust free Suburban to start with.
The body was taken off the frame and everything was sandblasted, Bare metal was epoxy primed and the body work was then started.
They used the best products that could be found and then painted it with base coat clear coat and then wet sanded it and buffed for many hours.
The truck is a dark blue and it is a show quality truck.
The frame was painted with a semi-gloss rust shield and is pit free.
The underside of the body was primed and a red oxide colored paint was used to duplicate the red oxide color from the original primer.
The 283 engine was sent to a machine shop and totally rebuilt by doing new valves, pistons and bored 30 over.
The engine was upgraded from the original 265 but still period correct and looks and runs great.
The transmission was upgraded to a $3000 Tremec 5-speed on the floor and the truck is a blast to drive.
The interior of the body was all painted with a Cameo White and the seats were done with a 1957 Chevy Bel Air black leopard fabric with silver accents and looks incredible.
The headliner is done with a 1955 Nomad waffle material.
The Suburban has all new glass with all new weatherstripping.
