The restored and modified 1956 Chevy 3100 Pickup featured in this article is a very fine looking vehicle. The Chevy Pickup Trucks went through major design changes starting in 1955 the same as with the passenger non-truck models of that year. As most people are well aware, the 1955 through 1957 Chevrolets were quite popular then and are very popular now as collector cars.
Chevrolet called the new style for 1955 as the “Task Force Design“. This name replaced the previous designation of “Advance Design” which ran from 1947 until 1955. During this time Chevrolet trucks were outselling Ford until Ford came out with their V-8 truck engine in 1954. Chevy came out with their truck V-8 engine in 1955 along with their new Task Force design. The Task Force Chevys lasted from 1955 to 1959 at which time new body styling and other improvements were designated as the “C” models beginning with the 1960 model year.
The most sought after truck in this new line was the half-ton 3100 Series. The 1956 Chevy 3100 Pickup was very much the same truck as the 1955 model. The new design for the 1955 model carried over to 1956 included sculpted door and fender panels and a lower flatter hood. All Task Force series Chevy trucks were built with rugged chassis and drive trains.
