    My Father has given to me his old work truck he has had since I was a kid, I'm 38 now and want to drive my kid around in it too. Its a 1956 GMC that had a V8 from the factory. I believe it was a pontiac motor back then? Perhaps someone knows about that. Sadly that motor blew up and had a couple SBC's over the years and now has a big block caddy motor in it. My Dad never had a lot of money but was proud of the truck. I am currently going through the motor brakes and electrical. She looks rough but I'm excited to drive it anyway. Cant make the pic work but oh well, Thanks for listening

    Welcome from Oregon. What part of Washington are you in?

    The truck sounds pretty cool.
