Re: What did your truck look like when you got her?

Mine looked like this for the first 15 years I had it. If it wasn't actually rusting away I would probably have never re-done it, but it needed to be saved. Still, I miss the old girl the way she was sometimes.

Drove her straight home.


Outside she looks about the same. The real work has been inside and on the frame in the garage.

They're from a 1963 Chevy passenger car. Here’s a close up from Google Images. One of the top two coolest hubcaps ever designed IMHO, the other being the 1959/60 cap:
