If you can fit the Derale 26" Dual High-Output, Electric Radiator Fan-and-Shroud Assembly # D16927 on your 1956 Chevy Truck it would work well and would help keep your engine temps down significantly. This fan can flow 4,000 cfm which would be a considerably higher amount than what you current flex fan is pulling. You will also free up a bit of horsepower by going with an electric fan as well.
I attached a dimension picture for this fan setup for you to compare to your available space on your truck to see if it would fit.
