I wasn't crazy about the trade till it got here and after taking an inventory of new parts im totally stoked!

**LEEVON** · 10-28-2012, 05:35 PM

I think you did great, besides being cooler which is difficult because 2wd/2dr Tahoes are cool already, that's a $12-18k truck IMO.

sickred72, Great trade. I was a great looking Tahoe, but I love the AD.

Notice the vent windows? Its a late oct. And they are original. Rebuilt engine, new wiring. And has some cool factory etching on the firewall. Thanks for the support to all. I do have 3 2 door 2wd tahoes nut thats the nicest one

not that it matters too much but i think it's a 1951. Early '51 had the "3100" under the "chevrolet" and are the 1st year with vent windows and the only year with vent windows & turn down handles.
Later in the year they dropped the "3100" and bed boards changed. Check your vin plate, 1950 will have "hp" in the vin, 1951 will have "jp".
Not trying to be a know it all but thought you may want to check.
It's bad ass for sure and looks like a great deal. Your other one is looking great also!! If you ever want to sell one send me a note.....

Yea i hear what your saying, it does have an " HP" in the vin and on the title, and i know its kind of strange on the vent windows, but its a late 1950, it even has 2 etched in markings under the hood that says ( oct. 1950 ) on the firewall. thats what sealed the deal for me.... Im thinking it was a transition faze.

Kabwe · 10-29-2012, 12:28 PM

That is a very nice truck you got your hands on. Good deal.
