Thanks, I sure like these old trucks, working on the door latches installing the bear claw style latches, making the linkages.

Here is the better side. I can't wait to drive this truck. Also working on the fuel injection for this truck, using 1990 gmc van tbi system, building harness, fuel lines, should work real good, better than the old carburetor way.

Hey 53 chevy pu do you know what the 4 holes in the bed in fro the the fender were used for? I think mine has the same holes. Thanks!

Spare tire holder, I removed mine it was big and ugly.

I see you have installed power steering, moved the shock from front to back, but what is the yellow bar running from the spindle to frame???

Nice, I have the same wheels on my 49, for now. Minus the trim rings of course. Thowse are 70-73 Camaro and Chevelle ralley wheels.

The COE in the quoted post isn't a "47-59" at least I'm pretty sure it isn't. There WERE 47.1's that were Art Deco trucks before they switched to the Advanced Design in '47.2. But I don't know when the COE's switched over.

But since it has already been posted here I'll throw in a COE that I just love. Especially the color. If I'd have kept my '46 I'd have definitely done it in the same color. Sure wish I knew what the color name is and if it was a stock Art Deco truck color from the factory? Enjoy!

Wow...that coe is truly beautiful.

Nice trucks! I might be getting a 51 soon and all these pictures have me wanting to go get it now and get started. I can't wait! Keep the pictures coming.

47coe - nice trucks - how bout some more of the pickup.

[53chevy.pu]

The Yellow Bar is my floor jack handle. A while ago I posted on youtube couple of short videos of the truck. Search for: 53 chevy pickup 001 build and the other one: 53 chevy pickup 002 build 283 running. Power steering was pretty easy to install I purchased the kit from Classic parts, the steering column is the stock one cut down and machined a double d end for the steering joint. here are some photos of the power steering install. I cut off the lower steering arm with a hack saw (the black painted one).

Thought I'd Throw My 52 In To The Pile

My truck as of right now...

I photochopped it how its going to look, starting this spring.

[53chevy.pu]

I like those trucks. Any old pickup is cool. The top photo is the day I bought it 12/24/79. The bottom one was early summer of 1980 when I got it running. I was 18 then.

Very Kool To Have Your Truck That Long. Hope I Can Say The Same Thing One Day.

All Said And Done That'll Be A Sweet Ride

I'm going post as many photos as I can. Here are the past from the mid 1980's of my collection. Only now I own the 53 chevy pickup.

Cool old beast !

[mud.man.rj]

That is a cool old beast, looks heavy doesn't it, bet it's good on gas but better on looks.

[~smokey~]

I saw it sitting in Kelowna at the Knox mountain race, not sure if they came in 6x6 or if thats custom, in beautiful shape.
