Can I play? Can I play?
"All of the other reindeer....uh....er....truckers, used to laugh and call him names..." Mine's a '46 but can we call it an early '47 if it lets me stick around? 350/350, Jag rear end. Four wheel power discs, power rack & pinion. Newly rewired. More to come I hope. |
Re: How about some pics of 47-59
Dan, that thing is waaaaay too cool!!!

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
Thank you Brad for the nice comment.
I got it in August but sent it out for rewiring which took forever. Put a new fuse panel and wired from EZ Wiring, all new gauges, the lights are actually bright, the signals work, emergency flashers (!) and stuff like a real truck, ha ha ha! I;ve got lots to do on it, but I tell myself, "I'm pacing myself". I plan on posting here until I get tossed for being a non '47-'59. |

Thanks guys, I hope you're right about me not getting asked not to post. I've posted some pictures before and no one said anything. From the PM's I've gotten every time I post, there is some interest here.
Stovebolt is a nice website but it doesn't allow you to post photos directly so I don't care for it nearly as much as this site. Plus, you guys are more active; there's always someone doing something and you're always very friendly. I don't read guys flaming others because there taste is different - VERY refreshing over a lot of other boards. Hey, we're all car guys. We'd probably get to be friends if we lived down the street from each other. Here's a few additional pictures of my truck at my own home. Its home now after having been flatbedded to be rewired (on its own power too,...about 15-16 miles, runs great, no issues...except I lost one of my '52 hubcaps grrrr!) Anyone have a spare '52 Chevy car hubcap they wanna sell? I just bought coolant & flush, oil & filter, and found someone who gave me the metal strips I was missing to install the windlace around the door openings. Running the risk of being banned, I'll post a separate thread with picture of this and of my rewiring later. Thanks for the kind words guys. Keep the advice coming, I can use the encouragement. Dan |

ssons, That truck looks cool. Do you have a clearer shot of those rims? Were they Torque Thrusts?
My dad drove me around in his '59 long bed fleetside the whole time I was a kid. He swapped in a 283 for the straight six, and later a 348. It was a screamer too. |

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
I guess i never realized I hadn't put mind up yet.
To say that it is a work in progress is an understatement!! Hope all you guys will hang around for about 10 years until she's done!! http://http://67-72chevytrucks.com/v...8&d=1256414950 http://http://67-72chevytrucks.com/v...1&d=1249406823 |

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
Can't believe I haven't added mine yet. I've had it for a couple of months now. Working on a total rewire. Will be lowering it with a dropped axle and rear flip pretty soon.
http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...e/DSCF6327.jpg Not much to look at now, but it will be soon.:ito: |
Re: How about some pics of 47-59

Here's my 58 burb I found a few months ago. Cant seem to find anyone who makes 1/4's for it, hoping I dont have to use fleetside panels. The tow vehicle is my 02 with 2/3 drop.
