try out the photo shop section of this forum - you'll get more exposure there...

Re: Shop logo trucks???

Here's a thread that's in the 67-72 section. Most are not 47-59 trucks, but it gives you ideas of logos.

Look up C10addict's build called "poison ivy." His truck has great patina and a logo.

Check Kustombrad's thread, Project No Buck$. He's got a '49 5-window and it's got the old patina'd paint and some really cool old-school logos and striping.

There was a 48-54 Chevy truck at the Hot Rod Reunion in Bakersfield last year that was painted with the Sanford and Son logo on the side, and the license plate read, "BIG DUMY" . It was awesome.

Re: Shop logo trucks???

You might also look at old fruit crate graphics and give it a farm truck look. There is a site on line that sells original and reproductions. Many had automotive themes or other hot rod appropriate (in my opinion) themes.

Later: here are some examples I had at home.
