Camaro front clip and rear end. Disc brakes, tubular A-arms. Fuel inj chevy 350, AC, a few other little things here and there.

Plans include wooden bed kit, wheels and tires, possible interior redo, and redoing the running boards in grey. If anyone has any help or sources for those things, let me know. Thanks!

Cool! Mine's actually my dad's old shop logo, lots of history there. I'm interested to see how yours turns out!

Thanks! For now im trying to keep it as stock as possible. It has a 34 207? correct me please if its wrong, my dad replaced it when he tried working on it 15-20 years ago. But other than that maybe lower a tad, probably wont rat rod it, but if i ever get enough money to put into it this is my dream design for it. (i know its a dodge, but a baseline for it)

Cool idea, but that truck of yours is only original once. I would look for another one that needs everything modified and changed and start with it.

I just sold my '64 Short Step and was browsing the web and this forum. Happened upon this 40 Chevy and was hooked.

Don't have a clue about the truck other than it is a thing of beauty.

Wow, that's a beauty! I normally hate gold colored cars/trucks of any year, but I do like it on that truck.

Biscuit - your truck looks great! Clean and understated. I likey alot!

Here is one that a friend just picked up. 1946 1/2 ton panel, has been sitting for years but is very original and complete.

Advanced Design 12-27-2015 12:13 PM

Re: Lets see your truck!
 
59bones, really nice panel! Where did he find it and what is the back story?

Advanced, you will get a chuckle out of this.

The truck is from your area, it was found just north of you in Oakland, parked near the road with a for sale sign.

The story is that the truck was for a radio/tv repair business out of Kansas or Isabel? The owner died and the truck was sold at the estate sale around 1965, then parked. 50 years ago.

If you are from the area, do you or anyone you know remember this truck? I would love to know a little history.

Advanced Design 12-28-2015 11:17 AM

Re: Lets see your truck!
 
Yes, that is 50 miles north of me though I don't know the area. Maybe someone could take a picture of the panel and the name of the estate sale from 1965 to the old timers table at the morning gathering place to learn more history.

It looks really solid, especially for an Illinois vehicle. What are plans for it?

59bones 12-28-2015 11:39 AM

Re: Lets see your truck!
 
I do not know the name of the previous owner or estate sale. Please print a photo and pass it along to the locals. Maybe someone has a memory or an old photo to share.

Currently it is in the de-mice, lubricate stage. No plans yet.

This is my 1969 GMC K-20. A good friend of mine sold it to me. I've owned a few old cars over the years...but I've never owned a truck before. Stay tuned for really dumb questions!
