I'm going post as many photos as I can. Here are the past from the mid 1980's of my collection. Only now I own the 53 chevy pickup.

diggin these old flicks. I wasn't even born yet!!

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

That is a beautiful truck!!! I love the colour, with the matching wheels!

The patina and stance are awesome!

The wheels you are linking to appear to be new Weld's.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

The COE in the quoted post isn't a "47-59" at least I'm pretty sure it isn't. There WERE 47.1's that were Art Deco trucks before they switched to the Advanced Design in '47.2. But I don't know when the COE's switched over.

But since it has already been posted here I'll throw in a COE that I just love. Especially the color. If I'd have kept my '46 I'd have definitely done it in the same color. Sure wish I knew what the color name is and if it was a stock Art Deco truck color from the factory? Enjoy!

I saw it sitting in Kelowna at the Knox mountain race, not sure if they came in 6x6 or if thats custom, in beautiful shape.

57 Chevy Pick Up saying hi from England
 

Hi my name is Peter and i live in Colchester, Essex, England UK..
Been a petrol head from birth..

Heres my freshly imported 57 Chevy finally arrived from Illinois. Would be nice to find some history on the truck..

I purchased from a forum member and the truck arrived end December 13.
John (MrRottnDog) had it for 2 years from 2011, but would be nice to find some history before then..

I did some short research and a guy named Bill Ray Stinnett, El Dorado Hills, CA 95762-4201 owned it for a while..

Would love to find some build history which was mainly done 1998-99 if anyone recognizes this pick up..
Will put some specs up when i get a minute

all the best Pete

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Good looking truck - great color.

Re: 57 Chevy Pick Up saying hi from England
 

It looks like you got a very clean, well-built truck. That's a beauty!

Re: How about some pics of 47-59

Iceburg-

Nice fleet and past builds. Thanks for sharing. I like your Suburban. It looks very solid. Have you had it long? I'm starting on a 53 Chevy Suburban.

Thanks
Marc

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

about 2 months....got it torn apart now and starting the rebuild. I am watching your thread for tips.
Mine is not bad...needs a little floor work , rear door work on the drivers side ( barn doors) and need a rear fender if I can find one.
I have a LS3 rebuilt I am going with.
I will get a thread started maybe over the weekend.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Good deal. I will look for your thread.

Yes, I need a few parts. I need a passenger side barn door check arm. I also need (1) more SS window pull. I do have all three rows of seats which was a score. I have rear fenders but one needs a little work. I'm cutting my metal floor pieces today. I will run them over to a budy that has a break so that I can break the metal and I will roll some beads in as well.

Rat Nest for the win!!! Here is more technical information if anyone else is interested. Thanks for sharing.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

It's a very neat truck if you ever get to see it in person.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Ya Rat's nest for sure but all of them just have a style that you can't find anymore today, the body lines on all of them are just so :hot:

Re: How about some pics of 47-59

Just wondering if you would know what brand the hard cover or lid is on the blue 55 truck? This is the first I have seen that looks that good...Tim
