My goals for the winter. 1. Figure out who owns this truck before it becomes one with the trees. 2. Talk the owner out of it for cheap. 3. Drag it home since it's literally ONE mile down at the other end of my road!!.. Oh yeah and 4. Get my Apache on the road or close to it, haha!

I was actually gonna post a pic of the bel-air and say drag that home too but I couldn't find the pic I took of it!... Would be nice to get a good two for one deal on both of them!

All I can say is WOW!! Looks great. Look forward to seeing more on it

ratty 46 · 11-23-2013, 09:28 PM

Hey Marc ... if it turns out 1/2 as well as the green machine you'll have 1 trick ride. Or two in this case!

Good luck. Nice start.

Thanks Ratty...

Actually this Suburban will be totally different from my 48 truck. This 53 will be everything that my 48 isn't. Shorter build, less money, more of a comfortable (LOW) family hauler.

Anyway you cut it Marc it looks like you have a very good base vehicle to start with. Rust does not look typical for MI. Southern or Westcoast truck?

Paul-

It came from Oregon, but spent the last 15-20 yrs in MI. Quite a few of those years outside. The township started fining the PO's since it was non-operational and that is when they moved it inside.

I looked a while before I bought this one, and I saw a lot of junk go for quite a bit more than what I spent. Another plus was that this has all (3) rows of stock seats which are hard to find and expensive to buy when you do.

Yes, I think it is a good foundation.

Thanks for your interest.

Marc

I did a little research today on the Internet 4 factory colors and it said the color of my truck should be bittersweet? Does anyone know for sure or have a factory color code for the 53' trucks. the lighter color is the original color the darker is primer. And the grill was originally white. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Looks like you got a real solid truck. I wish I still had my '51.

99 to Life · 12-08-2013, 12:49 PM

thats a really nice OG truck. Killer patina and style. I'd like to have a survivor like that, keep it untouched for the most part.

Thanks guys! i'm gonna keep it just like it is right down to the original seat that has never been covered and the old wood bed!

Anyone know what the value of it is as it sits now? i was told it would be worth more like this than restored, whats your thoughts?

still1graphics · 12-08-2013, 06:39 PM

Also anyone know how i can find out what the original color of this truck was?
under the hood and inside the doors look kinda like a boston baked bean maybe
a maroon color? thanks for any help...
