That would be a real “goin to town truck”
5 window GMC with a hood ornament, etc.
cool pic

That is what I am thinking, just funny that it would be in the showroom though. I would think that would be something the customer would do after buying the truck. And the dealer wouldn't because it would narrow the customer base so much on that one truck.

Wow! That is one of the best for sure, how cool is that!

Same words came to my mind upon seeing that pic - one of the best ever! Thanks Ryan!

Came across this AD that had been put out to pasture:

Very cool!

I feel like I've seen a similar bed to the one in W Hare's showroom but I can't find a picture.

The S&H Greenstamps logo on the Nickey Chevrolet truck makes me smile. I had to help my mother sort and count piles of green stamps whenever I couldn't find a way to keep myself entertained.

1project2many · 10-07-2019, 10:44 PM

Ryan, you certainly have an eye for an interesting photo. I always enjoy seeing what's next.

MARTINSR · 10-07-2019, 11:24 PM

Wow those are awesome 1project2many! WOW!

Brian

RyanPartridge · 10-08-2019, 11:41 AM

Great stuff fellas!

Here's a couple more...

1project2many · 10-08-2019, 12:35 PM

Thanks, Brian. I really like the Mann Chevrolet wrecker. And the tandem axle dump was a neat piece. They didn't have the "pass through" front drive axle like today's rigs. The two rear drive axles each had their own driveshaft which came off a transfer case behind the transmission.

RyanPartridge · 10-08-2019, 07:03 PM

Spotted this while watching Alex Xydias Presents: The Hot Rod Story on Amazon the other night...
Very cool documentary if anyone hasn't seen it.

1project2many · 10-08-2019, 09:50 PM

Wow! I loove the stacks and skinnies. What a great combination.

MARTINSR · 10-29-2019, 12:11 AM

1project2many · 10-09-2019, 08:16 AM

Adding a few more...

RyanPartridge · 10-12-2019, 09:37 PM

Nice camp rig!

RyanPartridge · 10-12-2019, 09:39 PM

Earlier snapshot...

RyanPartridge · 10-17-2019, 12:41 PM

A bunch of good ones!

RyanPartridge · 10-17-2019, 12:43 PM

A few more...

1project2many · 10-18-2019, 08:58 PM

It's neat to see them in color.

68panelman · 10-18-2019, 09:16 PM

Great pictures, thank you

MARTINSR · 10-19-2019, 11:32 AM

Yep, good stuff!

Sorry it's so small.
