Re: How about some pics of 47-59
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!

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
Been building a newer chevy stepside so i havent scanned the older trucks like the square bodies wow, you guys have some good stuff here im working in Boston in south E came across this survivor truck not sure the year seems out of place in a sea of newer suvs/commuter cars in the lot its in. very cool truck.also on the same road most mornings theres a guy with a 68 or 69 orange convertible RT coronet? super Bee? the guy drives it most every day soo clean i cant believe its his daily driver. sweet car. cool to hear that big block rumble thru the city in the morning early before all the traffic/pedestrians/chaos of the day begins. i love America.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
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. |

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. Marc

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

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
jpnh - it's a '54. and it looks amazing!! Hub caps alone you'd be VERY lucky to find, especially for a 3/4 ton. Cool pics..

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
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!

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
Looks like you got a real solid truck. I wish I still had my '51.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
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? Last edited by still1graphics; 12-08-2013 at 06:42 PM. |
