If Fleetside is right then I am wrong. I never heard of or recall seeing even the first year called anything but Wideside. Pretty sure the GMC got no emblem. Very nice find

**Ol Blue K20** · 07-08-2018, 01:13 PM

I believe that emblem belongs on a Chevy not a GMC.

**HO455** · 07-08-2018, 02:20 PM

RARE!!! 51 Napco $9500. Looks to be reasonably priced and complete.

https://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/...630252702.html

1951 Chevrolet 3800 4x4 pickup truck. Napco 4x4 conversion kit installed by dealership in 1953. 218 straight 6 cylinder engine. 9 ft bed. Runs great, 4 wheel drives works, head lights, tail lights are all operational. Has some rust in factory floor boards in the typical spots. Really neat old truck with a lot of potential. Located in Prineville Oregon. Idaho title.
$9,500.00 OBO, cash only, no checks please.

That is one of the coolest NAPCO’S I’ve ever seen !

**Ol Blue K20** · 07-08-2018, 06:21 PM

That is a cool truck. I've never saw one on that body style

**special-K** · 07-11-2018, 08:01 AM

Nice example of an early NAPCO at a price that seems quite fair. I love that thang!!

**57NAPCO** · 07-11-2018, 03:56 PM

I think it’s sold, unfortunately not to me

....update 7/15/2018 it has sold to some lucky guy. You’ll probally never see another

**jocko** · 07-17-2018, 11:24 PM

I just can't even begin to tell you how much I want this...
56 1-ton Fish and Wildlife NAPCO conversion.

This posting has expired... Did you get it??

**special-K** · 07-25-2018, 08:45 AM

The listing stayed till it expired? Wow, hard to believe. I feel the same way about it (I think). V8 truck, 1t, traditional Dark Green, fish & wildlife. You better believe that would be restored right back to all that if that truck was mine

**57NAPCO** · 07-26-2018, 10:03 PM

Another rare 4X4, a Coleman, not a NAPCO. A cool suburban though...

https://portland.craigslist.org/yam/...646137414.html

**Ol Blue K20** · 07-27-2018, 09:32 AM

That's a decent price. Especially if you have a decent Burb or panel to convert to a 4x4.

Not sure I mentioned or if someone else has - I THINK that particular was Tim Allen's at one point (Tim the Toolman from TV).

**jocko** · 07-27-2018, 01:17 PM

Have seen these ads or this truck yet, thought I'd share!

That's only the second 9 ft Advanced Design panel I've ever seen. Pretty rare. Way cool!

**57NAPCO** · 07-28-2018, 09:36 PM

That fella sold before I ever got a reply

whateverpratt · 07-30-2018, 01:04 PM

Just picked up some 1/2 ton Napco running gear. Guy took it off of a 1950 carryall that he bought. The axles are off of a task force truck, and there's some grinding on the driver's side spring perch to compensate for the tapered front leaf spring setup on the advance design series. Now I need to find a truck to put these under

Found this one getting married

**MJN** · 08-07-2018, 09:43 AM

Can anyone with an original Napco setup take a few pictures for me? Working on my '56 3600 pickup and without knowing the actual history of the truck it looks like it was converted using older axles- front is a drivers side pumpkin, not passenger. Anyway- I am trying to find the correct u-bolt plates for the front end that go on top of the leaf springs. Whoever did the conversion simply torched out some plate steel squares to use instead. Thanks!
