Craigslist about 7 miles from my house. needs a new roof skin and some attention here and there but who cares. Its a clamshell task force carryall not gonna find them too often especially ones that are dirt cheap and run and drive. Everything works too. Its such an awesome cruiser.

I live in Rochester NY, found my 57 GMC Carryall in Northern Minnesota last summer, a 2400 mile round trip to bring it home, totally worth it for such a rare bird. It also has the clamshell rear gate, that's my preference over the two styles, I'm going to be replacing the tailgate cables shortly.

I like the clamshell on the suburbans as well they look more proportionate with all the windows. I like the barn doors as well and would take any with them too but think they look better and more proportionate on the panels.

Beautiful! Your 50 looks super clean an fast! I love the sleeper... I was at a light the other day a rich kid in a uber built Raptor came jamming up next to me. I knew he was going to punch it, so of course I did the same. He pulled me off the line, but by the time I hit second I was even an in third I started to pull him. The kid was so pissed he slammed on his brakes and swung down a side road. It never gets old blowing past people in a lowrider
