Here are a couple of pics of the '56 cheby p'up/66 stang together. The paint difference is more readily visible here. The cheby is a burnt orange custom mixed. The 66 is a royal ruby red with pearls/metallic flakes. Body shop painted the '56 and I painted the 66 myself.

Nice, funny thing is that I also have a '66 coupe and a '56 Chevy short step. I wanted a '57 but, when I saw the '56 in the paper, I figured I could just put a '57 grille and hood on it. When I went to see it, it already had the '57 grille and hood! At that point, I had to buy it. Its waiting in line behind my Mustang to be built.

We are gonna need pictures...... Welcome to the site!
 
Thanks everyone, someone had mentioned the color difference to be seen in the 2. :shy

That is pretty wild having another member with the 66/56 combo. Some info on the '56 for you. We went with the new gauge cluster from Brother's trucks in calif. Also went with a tilt column out of a van and used an ezwiring harness that made everything easy to hookup. Also went with a dual mc (it's under the drivers side of the cab and was well worth it. Also, it has a 70's camaro front clip welded in to get rid of the old suspension and now we have the disc brakes/power steering and it's fabulous. Some people choose to go with an s10 frame instead and that seems to work pretty good with some frame mounts fabbed up (from what I hear anyway). A great forum for the cheby trucks and other cheby cars(I know,I know, just trying to help out a fellow stanger...lol)

I started to post yesterday that I like the '57 Chevy trucks, the '56 a really sharp as well I just cant make my self buy one, and I need another project like I need a hole in my head. I have been checking out some '55 Fords though....
