Re: 50th anniversary 58

The first Chevrolet trucks went on sale in 1918, the same year that the Chevrolet Motor Company became part of GM. There were a lot of changes in 58 to body design and engine but being a 50th was not one of them. The math doesn't work. No doubt its a very nice truck but I think from the pictures its just a Custom cab, big window, 283. The seat covering came with the Custom cab as did the neoprene floor mats, chrome trim on the windows, chrome knobs on the dash, arm rests that match the seat color and door inserts that also match. There is no radio, no over drive, nothing that says 50th or 40th or I'm special. I have seen gold colored 58's but I couldn't say if its the same color due to the age of the trucks I see. But that two tone paint scheme was available for 58-9. So I think the owner may not know exactly what he has or was told he has something he doesn't. But still one of the nicest truck I've seen in a while.
