Chevy Tri Five Forum

I get that this is 2026, but where in hell can you get brake hardware for a tri-five for less than $150.00. We're talking about a few springs for crying out loud. Anyone know a cheaper source for these??? Thanks

Hello, I'm excited to become part of this Classic American car forum. I live in southern California and have owned Corvettes in the past; 1970, 1996, 2009, and 2010. I'm looking to become an owner of a 1956 Chevy Bel Air 2-door sport coupe soon. Really want a resto or partial resto-mod with newer motor and 4-speed auto trans, and aftermarket AC. No "show car" quality, just nice looking and running well. Happy Cruising!

Helping a friend with his 56. It developed a condition where it starts and runs, but turning the key off does NOT stop the engine; this is not dieseling or run on- it simply continues to run. My guess is the alternator may have fried a diode. This guess is supported by the fact that he had used the main stud on the alternator to power a timing light (rear mount battery) and at one point, the clamp for the timing light sparked and about melted. My questions: does my diagnosis make sense? Is... Engine runs after key turned off

I parked. my 56 Belaire 235 about 3 months ago in my storage garage as it is way too hot to drive it in the middle of summer. Yesterday I decided to drive it again and found 0 brake pedal and a pool of fluid below my driver's side rear wheel. Appears that my wheel cylinder has given out or some other brake line issue. The repair seems easy enough and nothing I haven't done prior on other vehicles with the exception on how to bleed the brakes by myself. I have a pressure bleeder that will... Lost all Brake Fluid

Thinking about creating a thread for my 56 110 2dr sedan gasser build. Bought the car quite some time ago with the intention all along to make a straight axle gasser type. Been collecting parts for over 10 years. I have posted some questions about this car in other threads here. Mostly in "Interiors". Ready to get going on this so perhaps merits a dedicated thread. Looking at getting feedback from you tri-five experienced folks. I'll try to post about things I'm about to do and see if... Let's build a 56 gasser
