Re: 47-59 Original and Close to Stock Pics
I've spent over $10K on it since this pic was taken but I think this is still my favorite pic.

These pics aren't my truck. It was for sale locally awhile ago and I was so taken by it I kept the pictures. Now I wish I'd built my truck more like this than the Corvette IFS, over-the-top LS engine, etc route I took. Oh well, I'll just have to build another one!!

Re: 47-59 Original and Close to Stock Pics
not exactly stock but close. 57-66 283 that runs good. still has torque tube rear. and truck 4 speed. I need to update pictures I rubbed the paint with 0000 steel wool to remove chalk without ruining the patina. long term plan is MII suspension 5 speed and s10 4x4 rear. short term replace original gas tank in cab, dual cyl master cyl and new wiring harness, with electric wipers. I like the stock looking 283

Re: 47-59 Original and Close to Stock Pics
‘50 3600 I picked up a few years back. I feel very lucky to be the next caretaker of this one. Amazingly original unaltered truck. Has never even had additional lights or turn signals added. Matching numbers everything. Only modifications: ‘47 under Bed fuel tank to make it a dual tank system, Bed hooks under the rails, 40s car hood ornament, and a big old funky horn under the hood - all added by the original owner. One repaint by the original owner back in the early 70s. While the truck is drivable now, it’s still needs quite a bit of work to be a true turnkey driver. I did just enough to bring it back from the dead and drive around the dirt roads close to home. Might even do a little project post on this truck in the future.
