I see this truck every time I go to my parents house. My parents have lived in the same place for 36 years, the building has been there for a very long time but the only opening was covered with trees & bushes, the owners recently cleared it out & this is what has been there the whole time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



My dad said it has always been grown up & he has never seen it before now, I know it has been there for at least 36+ years.........I know it's a Chevy, guessing somewhere around a '52????

:drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:


Just makes me want to get my newly acquired (for free) '64 International step side up & running even more!! :headbang:

Restore or light restomod.

If you don't have the coin I would rather it be made streetable in its current state than rat-rodded.

Too nice of a truck to be made into something that looks like a patched together pile. No offence to rat-rodders but personally I am not a fan.

I would love to have one, but need another project like a hole in the head. Restoring 3 tractors and the toys to play with them, restomodding a Ranger and keeping a DD maintained is enough for me at the moment...

I would much rather see this inside an old truck, than to just look at picutures of old trucks.






Now you have something to drool about.....

Only plans are to maybe try to pop some of the the dent out of the door, fix a small hole in the floor, paint the mirrors and bumpers, redo the headliner and seat and continue to drive the wheels off of it. Absolutely love how it drives.

Someday it will be mine... hopefully I will have a long time to get caught up with my other crap first.
