Hi All

I bought this truck from a guy in San Fran 2 years ago this October. Here it is arriving:

needed some floor work.

Original motor

and where we are now

Wow! and it needed a floor? I sold my '57 chevy to a man in Australia a few months ago; I still haven't heard if he got it or not. He usually writes fairly often; trying to maintain a friend over there!

It did have a floor, but the original one was worn through. easy fix though

I never saw the truck before purchase but the seller did show me exactly what was required. I think he was more nervous than me about the deal!

Wow, that's a beauty. I love the color. Excuse my ignorance, but where is Nuneaton warwickshire?

In the middle of England! not far from the birthplace of Shakespere!
Thanks for the kind comments
