Rolled the 56 out for a shot in the snow the other day.
Merry Christmas!

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Very nice truck, I like it a lot!

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

That is beautiful! It's really got the "look"

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Thanks! She's pretty stock other than the chrome steps and split manifold with dual exhaust.

We liked the picture so much we made our Christmas cards with it this year:)

Awesome! In my opinion that's the best color for the TF trucks :metal:

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

I hope I don't misspeak here but thanks for saving her. She looked very very rough in the before shot. A lot of people wouldn't have made the effort but I'm glad you did. It's not like they making any more of them - well, at least not original ones.:clap::clap:

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Merry Christmas to you too. SUCH a pretty truck. A real reminder why we all fell in love with these in the first place.:c2:

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Thanks Dan!

hey clean out your mailbox, tried to pm you but it was full....

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

I've been trying but I can't figure it out. I suffer from "lame old dude-itis" apparently.

I can select a bunch of PM's and mark them for deletion but then can't make them delete.

Never mind, figured it out. Lol

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Here's my 50 Chevy.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

The fenders are from the 1956 GMC and the cab and hood are the 1957, which is what I titled the truck as. The box is from an '80's stepside which required modifications to get the side steps to fit. The frame has a 1978 Camaro clip and the rear axle is from a 1995 GMC Jimmy. The driveshaft is from a 1970's Nova. The engine is a 2002 Chevy Avalance 5.3L and the transmission is from a 2003 Suburban because I didn't want four wheel drive. The doors are from the 1955 and the grill from the '57. I made my own bed wood from rough cut oak planks. the seats and the overhead console are from a 1995 blazer and the gas tank was for a '70's Mustang... So the truck spams from 1955 to 2003. Can anyone hear Johnnie Cash singing in the background?

My 54 in process.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

bmar That's exactly what I was thinking reading what you have in it.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Here is Maggie she's a 51 with earlier doors. Been in the family since 1989. She's on her second paint job and second engine since we purchased her. The original 228 had a cracked block when we bought it so she now has a 54 235 with the Corvette head. With the exception of a twelve volt conversion with an alternator it is stock. Rolling on stock 16's with some fifties vintage aftermarket beauty rings. She's not all show girl, but more of a working girl. She gets used to move hay, furniture and engines regularly. I hauled 1260 pounds of Hardi plank siding drops to disposal several years ago with her and barely broke a sweat.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

HO455 - best working truck I've seen in a while. Looks show worthy to me, also!

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Thanks Hampshire. You can barely see part of the chip board box liner I made for her. There are sides that we can put in to protect the rest of the box when shes working. Took my mom to a local charity car show a couple of years back. We parked outside the show and when we were leaving one of the officials came up and told us we had won best truck and asked if we could come back in. We found out in addition to the judging they also had a bunch of cancer kids who got to pick their favorites and we won best truck. So we went back in and met the kids and took some for a ride. It was pretty cool!

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Really nice truck HO455!!

Cool story too, I bet those kids had a great time and put a much needed smile on their faces!!

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Nice truck and Great Story!

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Thanks everyone for the kudos. It is the best trophy ever.

Holly Smokes that's Really Ex-streamly well done , Sir

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

I tell folks all the time my 1949 3600 is a daily driver stock with a 217ci and used to move multiple things and yes without breaking a sweat. They don't make them like that/this anymore.
Keep on trucking!!

Yikes that's quite the dent in the dash! A 57 panel and an F1! Good stuff.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Nice truck kevinmac..you got any pics from the side? I'd like to see what thise wheels look like from the side..

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

KevinMac, super nice ride...Jim

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Did a rat rod clear coat a friend thought me. Works pretty good for transmission fluid lol made my 57 GMC look pretty good. Then I stripped my 59 down to the frame then mounted a mustang gas tank in the rear and wanted to see if you can see it with the bed on. So far I like it just wish I had a shop!!

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Here is a side shot. Thanks Jim for the kind words. I like your ride as well. I was sick when I seen the post about hitting the deer.
I can't take credit on building this truck. I raced small boats for about 30 years and wanted to do something different. I sold the racing stuff and the search was on. Never had a "cool" car and set out to buy something "cool". Didn't think I would ever get one done if I started from scratch. I have been doing a lot of small stuff to it. I will try and join in on posting a little more. Love reading and looking!

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 

Thanks Lower50's, I have had fun with it so far. 400 miles since November. Been making it "mine" doing small things. I don't think they are ever done.
