Re: 1956 GMC 370 4X4 For Sale
The fender well was made like that from the up fitter who put the 4x4 on. I have only seen one other example like this over the years. It is also rare that it has a 6 cylinder in it. All Chevy LCF trucks had V8s and 99% of the GMC had V8s. I wish it was closer.....

Re: 1956 GMC 370 4X4 For Sale
That rig appears to have a tow bar on the front. I think it would take an even tougher truck to drag that one along the highways.

Re: 1956 GMC 370 4X4 For Sale
That's not real far from me a couple hrs or so, have met that guy a few yrs ago when i bought some truck parts through him, he doesn't own much of what he sells mostly just brokers stuff, would be shot if i brought it home.

Re: 1956 GMC 370 4X4 For Sale
Close enough to me I talked to the wife about using it for the base of our planned "motor home". Even with my assurances I could make a silk purse out of a pigs ear she could not get past the industrial look, so no go.

Re: 1956 GMC 370 4X4 For Sale
Im new to the forum and now im really confused. I thought my 55 was a 370 series based in serial number but it looks nothing like that. Its a 2.5 ton with a 270.

Cost and ease of swap are issues. My serial starts with 371 R Y and the production number. Still trying to figure all this out.

Re: 1956 GMC 370 4X4 For Sale
Both trucks are 370 series which is an 18,000 lb GVW truck. Yours is a standard cab, a 370 (manual trans) or M370 (Hydramatic). The one in the original post is a COE or Cab Over Engine. The COE truck is an F370.
Look carefully at the front axle placement. The COE axle is almost under the windshield: Check out P. 54 (document P. 52) of this reference: http://www.1955gmc.com/1955-59gmclit...5NewModels.pdf |

Re: 1956 GMC 370 4X4 For Sale
that is a beast for sure
probably 6.18 gearing and a top speed of 40mph fully wound out all it needs is a roof and you have instant survival vehicle

Re: 1956 GMC 370 4X4 For Sale
Yep... It looks like maybe Howe Coleman axles underneath. They partnered up with GM quite often. A neighbor had an old town truck, Coleman 4X4 with 409 engine that he'd bought for $50. He said the only thing on his place the truck wouldn't pull was his Cat D7.
