Hey 49gmc your right! Good catch.

Re: Post pics of your 47-59 Chevy trucks!
 
THIS TRUCK SAT OUTSIDE A NEARBY RESIDENCE FOR NEARLY A YEAR "FOR SALE!" THIS PICTURE WAS TAKEN IN NOVEMBER OF 2007 WHEN THE PRICE WAS SUPPOSEDLY $1500:

http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/i...53PUPSHOLD.jpg

ABOUT A YEAR LATER (A FEW WEEKS AGO), I TOOK MY FRIEND BY TO LOOK AT IT AS A POSSIBLE PROJECT TRUCK. WE NOTICED THAT IT WAS GONE AND REPLACED BY A 1962 FORD FUTURA HAVING A 302 V8 SWAP SITTING IN IT'S PLACE. WE WERE APPROACHED BY THE FORD'S OWNER AND IN THE CONVERSATION I ASKED ABOUT THE GMC. HE SAID THEY PULLED IT TO THE BACK AND IT WAS SITTING ON A FLATBED. SO WE WENT AND LOOKED AT IT.
HE SPOKE OF DROPPING THE PRICE TO $800, BUT WOULD CONSIDER TAKING $500 CASH. SO I OFFERED $300 AND $75 TO DRIVE IT AND DROP IT ON MY LAWN ABOUT 7 MILES AWAY. SOLD! :c2:

HERE IT IS JUST HOURS AFTER BEING DROPPED OFF:

http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/i...DSCF0079-1.jpg

THE BED WAS LOADED WITH MANY EXTRA PARTS WHICH WE RECENTLY CLEANED OUT TO REVEAL A VERY RUSTY/ROTTEN BED WHICH I FIXED MERELY BY TAKING WOOD FROM A NEARBY CONSTRUCTION DUMPSTER AND CUTTING IT TO FIT SIDE TO SIDE SINCE 7'3"+ LONG BOARDS WERE NOT AT ALL AVAILABLE THEN FOLLOWED UP WITH SOME REDWOOD STAIN I HAD LAYING AROUND. I ALSO ADDED A STAKE BOARD REAR AND PAINTED THAT INSIDE AND OUT WITH PRIMER TO SOMEWHAT CLOSELY MATCH THE BROWN TRUCK:

THAT LETTERING ON THE DOOR WAS PHOTOSHOPPED! ;)

THE BED REDO FOR NOW:
http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/i...0/DSCF0448.jpg

PLANNING TO MOVE IT ABOUT DIFFERENTLY ON THE FRONT LAWN ONCE MY "POD" GETS EMPTIED AND HAULED AWAY. HOPING TO DISPLAY A LARGE LIGHT UP AIR-FILLED 7' TALL SNOWMAN FIGURE ON THE ROOF AFTER I MOVE IT. I LIVE ON MAIN STREET IN A FARM-BELT SECTION OF THE AREA, SO IT'S ALMOST A REQUIREMENT TO HAVE SUCH A VEHICLE ON YOUR PROPERTY! :lol::lol:

There sure are some good looking trucks posted here. I think I should start hanging out more here and less in the 67-72 forum.

Here is my 59 GMC.

I have owned and driven it since 1989 with the restoration being completed in July 2003.

Enjoy

I included a 'before' shot as well.

Thanks, I really enjoy getting out and driving it. So many people are surprised to look under the hood and not see a V8.

Here is one that I took this past weekend at the Autorama. I wasn't too fond of the wheels painted this color but the truck was done very nice. The sign said that all the work was done by the owner.

1957 1/2 ton stepside. 235CI, 3 speed on the column. My parents bought it in South Carolina in 2000 for $2500. It is pretty solid all around, with some surface rust and almost no rot. I use it as my bike hauler to take to the track - In the distant future, body work will be done and it will be painted dark green. The bed on it currently is from a '48 GMC I believe, have the original nicer bed sitting waiting for paint. Love these trucks and I wish it was mine.... Oh well, I'll just drive it for free! :metal:

Here are two more the first is my current 59 when it was 2WD and our work horse. Photo is taken in Oregon during the time we (me, wife, 4yr and 4 month old daughters) lived in it for 3 months in 1977 traveling the western US. We had a vinyl tube between the cab and camper at the back window. The second is the 1957 I bought in 1969 from GSA. I sold it in 70 when I got drafted.

Go to http://photobucket.com/ and make yourself an account. uploading pics is fairly easy. If you need me to walk you thru it I will. but you need an account first. Do it before you go to bed! ;)

nebdrummer 12-10-2008 09:59 PM

Re: Post pics of your 47-59 Chevy trucks!
 
also if need be, if you see a picture on the internet, right mouse click on it, go down to properties, and then just highlite the URL and copy it.

then come back to the typing box and click on the insert image button and paste it..

Re: Post pics of your 47-59 Chevy trucks!
 
I guess so...open up your pics in full size at Webshots. Underneath the picture you chose, there should be a menu bar offering options. click on the one that looks like an open book with a blue bar over the top (on my mac it's 2nd from the right). This will open a page called "post this photo" then highlight the "post in a forum" link. then go to menu bar "edit" (at the top of your computer page) and select "copy" then within your posting in this thread go to the menu bar "paste" and the link will show up in your post because photobucket is hosting the image you chose. you are C & P'ing (cop and pasting the image link to photobucket).

I'm gonna try a picture from my webshots albums to see if it works? Don't laugh at me if it doesn't - I'm trying this webshots thing the first time too...

http://thumb9.webshots.net/s/thumb2/...5vQNyMN_th.jpg

actually that's a thumbnail to click on and will open another page with the webshots fullsize.

let me see other options....

I believe you can click on the girlie pic and it'll take you to a page where you might be able to see all the girls I have on Webshots! ;)

anyways, keep messing with it! You'll get it. but i still say having a photobucket account is easy as cake.

do you see the size option on the page you chose your link from? It should be just above the link options. Small is 100 and largest is 600. Check off 600 then highlight the "post on a forum" link.
