I'm looking to buy a 50's Chevy Truck. What is the most desireable or most valueable year?

*72lb4x4* · 05-09-2011, 08:24 PM

55-57 of course

I think you'll get a lot of different opinions...

Unmolested 55 2nd to 59. Chevrolet should never have stopped making them. And should start making them again.

Mine.

You're definitely opening this up to individual opinions.

I'm going to say the most desirable 50's truck is a '49!

The most desirable truck is the one you want. I like them all personally.

That's the best answer yet!

The most desirable truck is the one you can afford....

meter swinger · 05-10-2011, 12:19 AM

The most desirable is the more common 55-57 stepside. If your into 2nd series trucks. If you want something unigue go for a 58-59 fleetside. 47-54 are great also. If really want different go for a gmc.

solidaxel · 05-10-2011, 06:22 PM

..................... I agree, the 55 !

But, the 55 1st series G M C !!!

Wrenchbender Ret · 05-10-2011, 06:28 PM

I like the 55-57 myself. In fact I just bought a 56. The old car price "Guide" gives more value to the 48-53.

meter swinger · 05-13-2011, 12:03 AM

X2 on the 59 fleet. 9500 isnt bad assuming its not a bondo trap. I paid 5k 8 yrs back for a sb small window fleetside. Has rust in cab corners and a little in the floors. If had to do it over i would spend more $ for a cleaner one though. Love the gmc mustache.

From experience on doing two complete frame-offs the 53 five window would be my pick over my second the 57 GMC. Frame wise I can move the bare frame from the 53 in a shop very easily the 57 frame takes 4 men to move it. Lighter weight =faster truck or better gas mileage.
