New addition to the family

[nickp51chevy]

She's been here (home) about a week now and I thought it would be time to introduce her to everyone.

She is going to be my wifes project I don't think that it would be a build for this forum though.

The week before last I put an add on craigslist for my rear fenders and running boards, I'm not gonna tell you how much, I also stated that I would trade for a truck cab any make pre '54. So I got an e-mail from a guy 2 hours away from me saying the he had a cab that he would trade. I think that he just wanted to get rid of it, but we both got a good deal.

I called him up and talked with him for a bit. I thought about it and talked with my wife about it for a little bit, called him back and made plans for the trade.

Last weekend I went to pick it up. On my way through a small town an older fella pulled up next to me and asked what I had in the back of my truck. I told him and he started saying something, I couldn't hear him over his diesel, so we pulled over to a parking lot and started b/sing about trucks. Turned out that he builds "show quality" AD trucks. He had a '46 seat frame in the back of his truck that he gave me because he had no more use for it. (it is in great condition) Since i was in a bit of a hurry I got his number and stoped by his shop on the way back. He knows alot about these trucks, and he's a retired Master Chief. Beer and cussing, my kinda people.

Any way, I know that you guys want to know what it is that I brought home.
Ok so here is what I got.






It's a '55 first series. Real solid cab, normal rust in rear cab corners, that's about it, and he had the windshield for it.
