History Hot Rod truck thread!

^^^^ I like it when the paint is shinier than the tires. Just a personal preference.

 

This is a rather poor picture of Joe Wilhelm's shop truck, taken back in the mid 50's. The '36 Chevy "short top" featured 6" lowering blocks in the rear, a 6" dropped axle up front, and under the hood lurked a 324 Olds and 3-spd LaSalle tranny. It still had the name "E.G. James Glass Shop" above the windshield and on the tailgate. It had the original blue paint, which had turned a muddled green. My wife bought this puppy from Marion Wilhelm after Joe passed, and she drove it for several years. Unfortunately, it now resides in Germany, with a blown big block. It is, however, still owned by a lady !!

 

A friend painted this picture of my old truck. I really like the way it turned out.

Kewl truck, right up till I saw the tail end. Looks like the sober buddy did the front end and the sot did the back.

 

That looks amazing! Love the color!

 

Love that truck @loudbang
