Smile My 53 chevy truck


Hi just thought I'd post a pic of my truck now I've figured out how you do it !.I'm in Nottingham, England and I bought this about 2 years ago. It runs a 250 ci motor as the old 216 died on my way home from buying it. It's on 12 volt electrics now with electric wipers too. I've had the seat re-trimmed but apart from that it's pretty much original. The truck came from Gracemont, Oklahoma - Baileys Service Station - and still has the original sign writting on it. I'm not going to paint it - I just give it a wipe over with an oily rag every few weeks.
Cheers, Roger.

That is one nice truck. I thought that you would have had to switch it over to RHD. We had a '61 silver cloud that was RHD when I was younger (before I got my driver's licence) it was fun driving around town in the "driver's seat".

Hi James, we can use LHD vehicles here in the UK. There's no real problems apart from sometimes when you are trying to pass another vehicle. You just need to hold back or trust what your passenger says !.
Cheers, Roger.
