1956 Chevy 4400 Flatbed Truck


1956 Chevy 4400 Flatbed Truck For Sale

The American vintage heavy-duty truck offered by Chevrolet in the 50s, as the picture is the 4400 series was released in 1956. It's a flatbed truck that has been rebuilt with very low miles on it, but it still little bit of touch to become a reliable daily driver.

Hard to find today, a 1 1/2 ton flatbed truck was listed on Craigslist as being offered for sale by the owner. It has been restored and rebuilt, currently is strong, and can haul just about anything. If you are interested, a closer inspection is a must.






Detail by owner
RARE 1956 Chevy 1 1/2 ton Navy dually flatbed truck. I purchased the vehicle from Arizona State University in 1987 and I believe that I am the third owner.

This heavy duty truck is strong and can haul just about anything. I have put very few miles on the truck, using it only occasionally for hauling and metal fabrication work. I have loved owning this truck and it has served me well but have since purchased another truck and must sell.

The truck still has the original Navy battleship grey painted interior. The original straight 6 cylinder 235 cu. inch engine has been rebuilt and has less than 50 miles on it. I have all the receipts for the rebuild and other improvements and new parts. I purchased new tires for the truck and they have very few miles on them.

Other improvements include new battery and cables, replaced cracked exhaust manifold, new fuel pump, new clutch, new water pump, new thermostat, new gaskets, hoses, belts and oil filter, new motor mounts, radiator was cored and rebuilt, new points/rotor, new master cylinder, gas tank was cleaned out and painted, has headache rack and detachable homemade lifting boom.Painted green with nice patina, re-chromed grill bumper, light bezels and Chevy 4400 name plates and hood emblem.

The truck runs great, the motor starts right up, but the truck does have a brake issue and will need to be repaired by whomever purchases the truck. The truck does brake but you have to pump the pedal. Air is entering the line somewhere and needs to be fixed. The truck can be driven on my property but should not be taken out on the streets until the brake issue is repaired. The truck will need to be towed from the property and is the responsibility of the buyer to arrange and pay for. This truck would be great advertisement for any business and could be used in many different ways. This truck needs very little to become a reliable daily driver.
