If Fleetside is right then I am wrong. I never heard of or recall seeing even the first year called anything but Wideside. Pretty sure the GMC got no emblem. Very nice find

Re: NAPCO Thread
 

I believe that emblem belongs on a Chevy not a GMC.

That is one of the coolest NAPCO’S I’ve ever seen !

Re: NAPCO Thread
 

That is a cool truck. I've never saw one on that body style

Re: NAPCO Thread
 

Nice example of an early NAPCO at a price that seems quite fair. I love that thang!!

Re: NAPCO Thread
 

I think it’s sold, unfortunately not to me :waah:....update 7/15/2018 it has sold to some lucky guy. You’ll probally never see another

This posting has expired... Did you get it??

Re: NAPCO Thread
 

The listing stayed till it expired? Wow, hard to believe. I feel the same way about it (I think). V8 truck, 1t, traditional Dark Green, fish & wildlife. You better believe that would be restored right back to all that if that truck was mine

Re: NAPCO Thread
 

Another rare 4X4, a Coleman, not a NAPCO. A cool suburban though...

Re: NAPCO Thread
 

That's a decent price. Especially if you have a decent Burb or panel to convert to a 4x4.

Re: NAPCO Thread
 

Nope, but sure wish I had.

Re: NAPCO Thread
 

Not sure I mentioned or if someone else has - I THINK that particular was Tim Allen's at one point (Tim the Toolman from TV).

Re: NAPCO Thread
 

Have seen these ads or this truck yet, thought I'd share!

Re: NAPCO Thread
 

Like this maybe ?;)

Yes!!! Just like that!

Re: NAPCO Thread
 

oh my gosh :metal::metal: yes do it :ack:

Re: NAPCO Thread
 

That's only the second 9 ft Advanced Design panel I've ever seen. Pretty rare. Way cool!

Re: NAPCO Thread
 

That fella sold before I ever got a reply

Re: NAPCO Thread
 

Just picked up some 1/2 ton Napco running gear. Guy took it off of a 1950 carryall that he bought. The axles are off of a task force truck, and there's some grinding on the driver's side spring perch to compensate for the tapered front leaf spring setup on the advance design series. Now I need to find a truck to put these under

Re: NAPCO Thread
 

Nice!

Re: NAPCO Thread
 

Nice!

Re: NAPCO Thread
 

Found this one getting married

Re: NAPCO Thread
 

Can anyone with an original Napco setup take a few pictures for me? Working on my '56 3600 pickup and without knowing the actual history of the truck it looks like it was converted using older axles- front is a drivers side pumpkin, not passenger. Anyway- I am trying to find the correct u-bolt plates for the front end that go on top of the leaf springs. Whoever did the conversion simply torched out some plate steel squares to use instead. Thanks!
