How about some pics of 47-59

I've been trying but I can't figure it out. I suffer from "lame old dude-itis" apparently.

I can select a bunch of PM's and mark them for deletion but then can't make them delete.

Never mind, figured it out. Lol

HO455 - best working truck I've seen in a while. Looks show worthy to me, also!

[HO455]

Thanks Hampshire. You can barely see part of the chip board box liner I made for her. There are sides that we can put in to protect the rest of the box when shes working. Took my mom to a local charity car show a couple of years back. We parked outside the show and when we were leaving one of the officials came up and told us we had won best truck and asked if we could come back in. We found out in addition to the judging they also had a bunch of cancer kids who got to pick their favorites and we won best truck. So we went back in and met the kids and took some for a ride. It was pretty cool!

Really nice truck HO455!!

Cool story too, I bet those kids had a great time and put a much needed smile on their faces!!

heres a picture of my old truck im slowly fixing up

only picture i could find doing a image search (im at work) its basically all in pieces now.

1951 chevy 3800 9ft bed, pretty solid except for that passenger side running board and i dont ever see those things come up for sale anywhere



just gonna make a ugly weekend driver out of it using 1991 silverado running gear and 70s chevy suspension and brakes.

Steady progress on the 55 2nd...

[59chevy310p]

Did a rat rod clear coat a friend thought me. Works pretty good for transmission fluid lol made my 57 GMC look pretty good. Then I stripped my 59 down to the frame then mounted a mustang gas tank in the rear and wanted to see if you can see it with the bed on. So far I like it just wish I had a shop!!

Here is a side shot. Thanks Jim for the kind words. I like your ride as well. I was sick when I seen the post about hitting the deer.
I can't take credit on building this truck. I raced small boats for about 30 years and wanted to do something different. I sold the racing stuff and the search was on. Never had a "cool" car and set out to buy something "cool". Didn't think I would ever get one done if I started from scratch. I have been doing a lot of small stuff to it. I will try and join in on posting a little more. Love reading and looking!

Nothing wrong with buying, who ever did the work did a nice job, enjoy your new toy. And thanks for checking out my truck..Jim

Here is my new 1954 Chevy 3800. Just what I need, another project.





I have it turning over nice with the starter, but no fire yet.

Thank you! I'm going to try to save them

[Kevin Mac]

Thanks Lower50's, I have had fun with it so far. 400 miles since November. Been making it "mine" doing small things. I don't think they are ever done.

My pretty much daily driver 51, 3600. Original, not rebuilt 216 (yep, 85hp baby) with a WC T5, .72 5th gear and 4.10 rear gears. Huck brakes refreshed and modern 16" tires now.

Drove it from central Arkansas to Luckenbach Tx about a month ago, 1.300 miles. The trip's excuse was to see the bluebonnets, but fact is the beer and music at Luckenbach was the real reason, just don't tell the wife. Round trip was 1,300 miles and luckly no problems, just a nice enjoyable back road drive.

Wow, she's a beauty Ron. But you'd better call yourself something other than "Moparguy" if youre driving a plus sized beauty like she is.

May I suggest (Oh no, here it comes!) adding ribbed beauty rings and repop chrome dog dish caps to those rims? Then she'll REALLY be a prom queen. Yeah, a BIG prom queen but a knockout. Think of her as Ashley Graham - not a bad thing at all!
