Re: How about some pics of 47-59
haha, the Rubber Duck (or as the younger ppl call it now the death proof duck) was on my boat, aptly called "the Rubber Duck" but i decided it'd look good on the truck. It took alot for me to drill two holes into a rust free 58 year old bonnet (ok ok the hood) but i love the look

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
Here's some pix's of my find this March 2015 / 1951 Chervrolet 3800, the last time this old girl was licensed 1990 and has been parked out byhind a farmers shop. I'm the 3rd owner, first owner was a Union 76 fuel supplier and the second owner was a local farmer. I cleaned all the fuel lines, changed oil, changed coolant, put new battery in, primed the carb, hit the foot start, 3 cranks later the old girl fired off! Oil pressure came up, H2O temp came up to normal. Very clean truck, one dent in front finder, a little rust in floor board.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
Thanks A/D,
Yes, I found it and a lot of the parts and accessories on EBay. As I said before I am lacking in paint and body skills so I try to buy projects that don't require any. The paint job is what attracted me to the truck. It was done by an artist in California. I don't know his name. For a faux patina paint job it is very well done. There is a lot of faux rust on it but no actual rust anywhere. I have had many people ask me if it was actually an Indy track service vehicle. When I got it the drive train was completely stock and original. I wanted to make it look like it had been sitting in a warehouse or barn since the mid 60's. That's why it has a mechanical fan, York piston A/C compressor (EBay), vintage A/C evaporator (EBay), vintage aircraft gauges (EBay), vintage heater(EBay), Gear Vendors O/D (EBay), the Johnny Parsons water can (EBay), etc. Really the only thing that gives it away is the EFI sensors on the engine (O2,knock, and TPS) and the cruise control switch on the turn signal lever. Most people never notice. It has been a very fun and rewarding project so far. Especially since I have been able to drive it for the most part since day one. Thanks again for the kind words.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
going to be titled as a 56. going next weekend to pick a few parts I found on CL. still looking for doors yet. engine wise just going to be running a 307 that I got for $50, once I have it mounted I hooked up 3 wire and an old ignition switch made sure it plug wires were correct order and dizzy was set about right and it fired right up with good oil pressure.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
I believe you have to tell the images to self correct upon import.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
Hello all, I am new to this forum and also new to the old truck world. I have been shopping around for a old 1-2 ton chevy and finally pulled the trigger on a 1947 2 ton. I have a lot of ideas for it in my head but we will see what the checkbook (and the wife) will let me do to it.
