Any Local 47-55 Guys from southern california? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I like to see how many Members on here from Southern California? Post reply with pic. I just picked mine up and still buying parts to put her back on the road. Here is my 52.

I'm from Inglewood, CA. I don't have a Advanced Design truck (47-55) I have a 58 with a 55 front clip. There are a couple of us So Cal people on this site and the area I live is full of classic trucks. I'm starting to think there is a law that states if you live in the Inglewood area you have to have a classic truck.

Thanks Bam. It looks a little better than that now as I later took out everything I could, sanded and repainted the engine compartment with a satin black, replaced grommets, etc. Its no frame off restoration (I wish it were) but at least it'll be a clean driver until I can afford the time and space to strip it down to nothing.

I am in Glendora, I have a 58 Fleetside I am working on and a 55.2 suburban ( Carry-all ) that will be started once the truck is done.
Your truck looks good, I like what you've done so far.

I live in Moorpark, Ca. I have had my truck since the late 80's I'm just getting it done now. In fact Rob at No Limit built my rear clip for me just after he moved out of his "chicken coop" shop in Riverside. It was made to slide inside my existing frame. It fit perfect and works great. He is a great guy and I'm glad he turned out to be so successful.

Cool, when I was younger I could walk to that race truck from my house, now I'm older and don't feel like doing that at all.lol
