Not quite a "barn find"

Picked up a 53 Chevy pickup today. No cancer. No body damage. 99% original. Original wheels and hub caps are in the bed. Really shitty paint. Hasn't been really driven in 10 years. 3rd owner. Promptly drove it 5 hours home. Over a mountain pass in Oregon. Couple of sphincter clenching moments, but survived.

So it wasn't in a barn. It was under an awning. But I won't complain.

Life is good.

 

Damn, i wish i would have found that first! hahha

 

Oh yeah, she be a clean Chev. Softscrub and a fine Scotch brite pad, water and an afternoon of rubbbing........

 

nice score,looks pretty solid

 

Tis a beautiful thing, take good care of her. She will last for another 55 years.

 

Now you can make a " Traditional " Old Navy truck.........................lol

 

Swap the wheels, leave the rest alone, it's perfect!
I see you're in Oregon, this year's Christmas card needs that truck in the snow with the tree.

 

Big balls, driving a vehicle that hasn't been driven for ten years. You're lucky the brake lines, hoses, wheel and/or master cylinder hadn't deteriorated to the point of failure.

It's a beautiful find............buy a few lottery tickets - it's your lucky day!!

 

Damn nec find!!!!!!!!!!

 

Nice find!!!

 

wow! nice score ..

 

Hey SpnkyMcGee,
Good for you!
That's a true sign of a great hot rod when your sphincter tightens up like a snare drum!
Enjoy your new find!
