I'd love to see what guys on this website could do with $150k to a truck like this.

They showed the chassis cam on it...I was shocked to see what looked like MII in the front and leaf springs in the back. On that kind of build you would expect at least a 4-link and before they showed the chassis cam, I was thinking it must have 'vette suspension all the way around. Go figure...Guess it boils down to a couple of guys with bucks who both wanted it...inject some alcohol to get the money flowing (BJ registered bidders drink for free) and voila, 150K '55 Chevy p/u.
