just a little bit of a show and tell on my new truck - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

broey · 02-09-2013, 04:57 PM

hey guys,

I just picked up this 59 fleet last night and just wanted to show it off. as time goes by I will start a build thread on it. If you have ever ventured over to the 73-87 section you may have seen my last truck. if so you will know whats in store for this one. if not, here is a LINK

anyways, the truck runs and drives, has a little bit of patchwork that needs to be fixed.

pics.

Very COOL truck!

To be honest I like the '59 much like it is. I'd detail the hell outta the six and keep it because they're novel. Everybody's got a small block - including me. Your truck looks like a survivor. I couldn't chop up one that nice.

Very nice. When i was a kid there was the same truck that was used by the local meat market owner. You know that color scheme really does go very well with the truck. Thanks for sharing.

Welcome to this section of the board.
looks like a nice truck to start with.

You need to throw the new "55-59 Dropmember" under that truck!
It will look killer on the ground!

broey · 02-09-2013, 10:15 PM

yes it would! I was actually over at yezzi's this morning dropping off a truck and trailer that he let me use to go get this truck and I was drooling over Poncho, its still at his house even though sam bought it. the dropmember looks soooooo clean.

NEWFISHER · 02-09-2013, 10:21 PM

Nice and fresh. Good starting point!
