Welcome Diego!
Your mother would have been VERY proud to know you named your pride and joy after her. That engine is gorgeous. |

Thanks guys for the welcome, I am improving my English. I love your projects and pickup, here in Argentina struggling to find spare parts. Almost all parts buy in USA, and taxes are 50% plus shipping ...!  Little by little I will leave as in my dreams. Sorry again for my English Diego |

Re: My 1947 chevy truck "La Gladys"
Looks great! makes me forget how fortunate I am to live in California, where parts can be found, as well as projects in decent shape...
good luck on the new modifications and keep posting updates and photos/videos! |
