Well the story goes......
I was talking with a guy at work and he has a 54 Chevy, shop talk stuff.
He mentioned his brother just moved next to ranch and on the ranch was
a pick up thought to be around the same year.
I found out where his brother moved and took a drive. Found the fella that owned it took a look and scored this for 50 bucks.
Its definately a 20 foot truck. The cowl is crushed in by a tree or something falling on it. All four corners are beat , the doors are beat, but lots of good stuff still there. She has a 235 , 3 spd, enclosed driveshaft, leveraction shocks, the pedals even move!! All the interior stuff was there , just sunbaked and rusty.
Well enough with the small talk and on with the PICS.

Absolutely beautiful.

It would be great if all the doors and everything were still there -- I'd put a nice clear coat on it and leave it that "color!"

The old truck is complete with doors, it does count when they come home on the same trailer , doesnt it ?
The only things missing are the glass,seat cushions,back bumper.
Really I know it looks hoirrible but there is a ton of nice parts there.
I needed the running board supports for my 49 as well as the seat sliders. Worth 50 bucks and a six pack all day long.
My neighbors dont see the beauty of this one though.
Oh well,
Brother Bob

$50 is a GREAT buy, Brother Bob!

And I wasn't kidding about leaving it like that, either! There's something wonderful about the sight of an old Stovebolt out in a field ... and I really think it would be something special to maintain that old rusted out look, but in a refreshed (clear coat), renewed kind of way, you know?
