Here is my pops 53 chevy

Here is my pops 53 chevy. The truck is White with a red pearl. It has a nova front clip with a 305/350 combo. The rear bumper is custom made by the old man. The taillights in the bumper are out of 69 Firebird? The bed has no classy wood kit in it but my dad would like to put one in soon like the one he put in his 55.

Re: Here is my pops 53 chevy

The speedo is out of the 74 nova that my dad used for the front clip. The steering wheel and the rear end are also out of that nova.

Re: Here is my pops 53 chevy

Sweet looking ride is the rear axle sitting funny or does it not sit well in the rear fenders?

I think mine was that way from the factory. I've had the problem fixed though.

the rear axle sits like that because of the nova gas tank my dad used. back in the day, a friend of mine gave me his nova, which wasn't running, and my dad and I just hacked at the beast a full weekend and just threw it all away, boy I kick myself in the ass now for doing that. We could've thrown a v8 in the little car and kept it, look at the prices of these cars now!!
