How about some pics of 47-59 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

sastchimo · 06-16-2009, 12:21 AM

Here is my "pet project", 1958 GMC 100 p/u. Not done yet. Will do an off the frame soon. 1970 Pontiac GTO 400 engine/ TH400/ third-gen camaro front clip/rear clip/lowering springs on front! Quickest truck between gas stations!!!

Where were these pictures taken? I didn't think there were mountains in Kansas.

sastchimo · 06-16-2009, 10:06 AM

Those pics were taken in Colorado, back from the Viva Las Vegas Rat Rod show 09!!!

I have a 55 PANEL Project. Hope for dry weather to get started working on her.

This is my new purchase. It is a 1955 California built truck. I purchased it from the 2nd owner. It has 63,000 documented miles on it. It has a hydromatic 4 speed trans in it. It has an old green repaint but has no rust and a perfect body. The old guy welded steel in the bed so I will try to carefully remove it. It was purchased new in AZ and I received all original papers. Title from 1955, Manual and document folder from dealer.

My new acquisition. A 1959 Chevy Viking! We named her "Helga" She has seen a lot of tobacco and some open roads, about to see a driveway to hang next to a 57 3100 truck.

Helga took up every inch of our trailer. Big fun for a big truck! Anybody with Viking 40 experience please contact me!

Can I play? Can I play?

"All of the other reindeer....uh....er....truckers, used to laugh and call him names..."

Mine's a '46 but can we call it an early '47 if it lets me stick around?

350/350, Jag rear end. Four wheel power discs, power rack & pinion. Newly rewired. More to come I hope.

kustombrad · 11-13-2009, 06:32 PM

Dan, that thing is waaaaay too cool!!!

johns truck · 11-14-2009, 07:34 AM

nice 46 i dont think amyone will mind if you stick around

**Dan in Pasadena** · 11-14-2009, 11:55 AM

Thanks guys, I hope you're right about me not getting asked not to post. I've posted some pictures before and no one said anything. From the PM's I've gotten every time I post, there is some interest here.

Stovebolt is a nice website but it doesn't allow you to post photos directly so I don't care for it nearly as much as this site. Plus, you guys are more active; there's always someone doing something and you're always very friendly. I don't read guys flaming others because there taste is different - VERY refreshing over a lot of other boards. Hey, we're all car guys. We'd probably get to be friends if we lived down the street from each other.

Here's a few additional pictures of my truck at my own home. Its home now after having been flatbedded to be rewired (on its own power too,...about 15-16 miles, runs great, no issues...except I lost one of my '52 hubcaps grrrr!) Anyone have a spare '52 Chevy car hubcap they wanna sell?

I just bought coolant & flush, oil & filter, and found someone who gave me the metal strips I was missing to install the windlace around the door openings. Running the risk of being banned, I'll post a separate thread with picture of this and of my rewiring later. Thanks for the kind words guys. Keep the advice coming, I can use the encouragement. Dan
