Allow me to introduce Frank!

Well an 8 hour trip each way (including a 2 hr ferry ride X2) and I'm the proud new owner of this 60-61-62 Chevy ShortWide (I'm new to the internet world of this era of trucks, forgive me if that's not the correct term for this body style)

It's a Canadian built truck, model C1434 so always a shortbox fleetside I believe. It was said to be a 62 by the person I bought it from, but it's actually a 61 and has a 60 grill, which I may replace with a 63 grill! So I guess then it would be a 61-62-63

It had been parked for many years but I was told it was running and driving - HA yeah right! The guy had some big racing carb on it running off of a 5 gallon can in the bed, but running's not really the word! Trying to run more like, missing on more than it was hitting. He had it stuffed into a corner of his yard with a bunch of cars in the way so there was no trying to drive it either...I let him keep the big carb and decided I'd try to see what I could do with it once I got it home.

There was definitely some interesting stuff in the yard!
