This 1956 Chevrolet Suburban (chassis 3A560015292) started life as a standard 2WD truck, and was bought by the seller already restored to stock in 2013. It’s since been converted in what they term a “frame-down rebuild” using all period correct NAPCO 4×4 parts. The truck looks very good inside, out and underneath, but is driven regularly and sounds to be in good working order, too–only the original radio isn’t working. Find it here on Craigslist in Springfield, Oregon for $55k OBO. Special thanks to BaT reader Thaddeus W. for this submission.

The interior is perhaps a bit more well-trimmed than it would have been from the factory, but color work well with the equally sharp exterior, and everything but the factory radio is said to be in working order. Note the NAPCO manuals on the floor, as well as the period accessory windshield visor.

There’s seating for seven in total, or perhaps even eight if the middle front passenger doesn’t mind the driver reaching around their knees to grab another gear. Speaking of, NAPCO conversion reportedly saw the truck’s original automatic trans swapped for what’s described as a 1956 correct 4-speed.

Says the seller: “My friend in Arizona had all the correct 1956 NAPCO rebuilt parts ready to go and did an awesome job, including removing the original automatic trans, which was replaced with correct 1956 4-speed manual transmission, Spicer transfer case and Selectro heavy duty lock-out hubs. Basically, a frame-down rebuild including new driveshafts, leaf springs, shocks, stainless steel gas tank and much more. This is not a trailer queen, but does very well in shows. I drive it at least three time a month, starts every time, and drives as it should for a 1956 with stock inline-six Thriftmaster 235 engine, standard steering, drum brakes and manual trans.”

True, it’s not an original NAPCO truck, but it does look very well converted and we like that it’s driven, too.
