Re: Post pics of your 47-59 Chevy trucks!

Speakin of GMC's...plus I didn't see any of these...here are a couple of shots of my 52 Burb project. Coined... "The Bus" by some of my local truck club buddies. Here is a link to a bunch more of the Web Shots. Work started back in 2000. Still has a long way to go. But it runs and drives and that's the best part as far as I am concerned!!

Re: Post pics of your 47-59 Chevy trucks!

THIS TRUCK SAT OUTSIDE A NEARBY RESIDENCE FOR NEARLY A YEAR "FOR SALE!" THIS PICTURE WAS TAKEN IN NOVEMBER OF 2007 WHEN THE PRICE WAS SUPPOSEDLY $1500:



ABOUT A YEAR LATER (A FEW WEEKS AGO), I TOOK MY FRIEND BY TO LOOK AT IT AS A POSSIBLE PROJECT TRUCK. WE NOTICED THAT IT WAS GONE AND REPLACED BY A 1962 FORD FUTURA HAVING A 302 V8 SWAP SITTING IN IT'S PLACE. WE WERE APPROACHED BY THE FORD'S OWNER AND IN THE CONVERSATION I ASKED ABOUT THE GMC. HE SAID THEY PULLED IT TO THE BACK AND IT WAS SITTING ON A FLATBED. SO WE WENT AND LOOKED AT IT.
HE SPOKE OF DROPPING THE PRICE TO $800, BUT WOULD CONSIDER TAKING $500 CASH. SO I OFFERED $300 AND $75 TO DRIVE IT AND DROP IT ON MY LAWN ABOUT 7 MILES AWAY. SOLD!

HERE IT IS JUST HOURS AFTER BEING DROPPED OFF:



THE BED WAS LOADED WITH MANY EXTRA PARTS WHICH WE RECENTLY CLEANED OUT TO REVEAL A VERY RUSTY/ROTTEN BED WHICH I FIXED MERELY BY TAKING WOOD FROM A NEARBY CONSTRUCTION DUMPSTER AND CUTTING IT TO FIT SIDE TO SIDE SINCE 7'3"+ LONG BOARDS WERE NOT AT ALL AVAILABLE THEN FOLLOWED UP WITH SOME REDWOOD STAIN I HAD LAYING AROUND. I ALSO ADDED A STAKE BOARD REAR AND PAINTED THAT INSIDE AND OUT WITH PRIMER TO SOMEWHAT CLOSELY MATCH THE BROWN TRUCK:



THAT LETTERING ON THE DOOR WAS PHOTOSHOPPED!

THE BED REDO FOR NOW:


PLANNING TO MOVE IT ABOUT DIFFERENTLY ON THE FRONT LAWN ONCE MY "POD" GETS EMPTIED AND HAULED AWAY. HOPING TO DISPLAY A LARGE LIGHT UP AIR-FILLED 7' TALL SNOWMAN FIGURE ON THE ROOF AFTER I MOVE IT. I LIVE ON MAIN STREET IN A FARM-BELT SECTION OF THE AREA, SO IT'S ALMOST A REQUIREMENT TO HAVE SUCH A VEHICLE ON YOUR PROPERTY!

Re: Post pics of your 47-59 Chevy trucks!

There sure are some good looking trucks posted here. I think I should start hanging out more here and less in the 67-72 forum.

Here is my 59 GMC.

I have owned and driven it since 1989 with the restoration being completed in July 2003.

Enjoy

I included a 'before' shot as well.

Thanks, I really enjoy getting out and driving it. So many people are surprised to look under the hood and not see a V8.

Re: Post pics of your 47-59 Chevy trucks!

Here is one that I took this past weekend at the Autorama. I wasn't too fond of the wheels painted this color but the truck was done very nice. The sign said that all the work was done by the owner.
