Another new project for a much later date.. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

68chevy68 · 08-19-2007, 11:35 PM

Picked this up today for 50 bucks!

68chevy68 · 08-19-2007, 11:37 PM

68chevy68 · 08-19-2007, 11:38 PM

Can anyone tell me what year this is by the vin plate?

NICK3757 · 08-19-2007, 11:39 PM

Nice truck. I'll give you $75 right now.

68chevy68 · 08-19-2007, 11:40 PM

yeah, I got a heck of a deal. I couldn't pass it up. It was slated for the crusher.

dan42 · 08-20-2007, 12:18 AM

That is definitely a project. Hope you have somewhere to put it!

RedZ71 · 08-20-2007, 12:20 AM

*obligatory* hey dont worry man... that'll buff right out!!

69-350 · 08-20-2007, 03:44 AM

some washin n waxin, she'll be like new!

really though, that's a hell of a deal. Around here, you'd probably pick up one like that from the right person for cheap, but I don't think THAT cheap! good find man!

Bishops Trucks · 08-20-2007, 05:38 AM

That's $50.00 bucks well spent. The door handle turns to open, am I correct? I think that would put it no later than '52.

72armyswbtruck · 08-20-2007, 06:36 AM

Gotta love that Petina. Nice buy

Texasbigblock · 08-21-2007, 12:37 AM

i believe that vin makes it a 51.......but i could be wrong. Definately no later than 52 with those door handles

powell72 · 08-21-2007, 01:10 AM

I believe '51 was the only year for turn down door handles AND vent windows.

corn · 08-21-2007, 01:11 AM

Id sure like to find one like that for $50! Id say "good score"...

OldCreek · 08-21-2007, 01:31 AM

Yep, Powell72 has it right. Vent windows and turned door handles=1951. Unless they changed the doors on you.

RicksTrucks · 08-21-2007, 07:06 AM

I would like to do one of those sometime, just to add some variety to my 68-72 collection. Always liked those rounded fenders.

Spray-Bomb · 08-21-2007, 10:59 AM

Sweet dude, I have a 47-53 GMC panel thats kinda like yours "A long way off project"

Reminds me of my Ford F-1 I got for $100 bucks !!!

**jerry moss** · 08-21-2007, 11:29 AM

cool ride

**Yukon Jack** · 08-21-2007, 11:54 AM

That is sweet for $50.00!! Slap a motor in there, get a drivers door and maybe a new seat, do some rehab of the critical stuff and enjoy it as is.

toomanytoyz · 08-21-2007, 04:27 PM

Truck has much of that sought after Patina...............

57sailplane · 08-21-2007, 06:03 PM

aww but does it have the ultra rare? inside the motor pantina

ChaseDale3and8 · 08-21-2007, 06:27 PM

I'm pretty sure that it's a '51. Back in '81 I had a black '51 just like that. Mine had the turn down door handles and vent windows like that if that helps any. ...Joe

*screamin_eagle* · 08-21-2007, 06:49 PM

theres one of those around the corner from me guy put a for sale sign on it. I called it and turns out to be a wrong number what a jerk. nice score for you though. get it rolling at least just to take it around the block.

68chevy68 · 08-21-2007, 11:19 PM

Thanks for all the help. I have been telling ppl that it is a 51 or 52. I have just not had the chance to run the vin. Work has me all tied up. We are crazy busy.

68chevy68 · 08-24-2007, 06:52 PM

Well, according to the lmc catalog, this is a 1951 truck. 51 was the first year for the vent window and the last year for the door handle. Someone correct me if I am wrong.
