  1. I thought it might be a bit gay driving Daisy's pink truck, so I thought I might get my own [​IMG] [​IMG]

  3. can't keep both so one has got to go.
    Thought about hacking the roof off and making a roadster pickup.
    What do you think.

    You got the sickness, man!

    You oughta paint one opposite of Daisy's - where there's pink, paint purple & vice-verse [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Roadster pickup - not a bad idea there. Be sure & brace the cab well if you do it.

  6. Roadster would be COOL! [​IMG] I am not sure I have seen Chevy/GMC done roadster style - just Ford's.
    Great score.

    I haven't seen one of the 47-54 chevy trucks made into a roadster yet that looked right to me. - but to each his own [​IMG] nice score even on this side of the pond [​IMG]

    I thought I had issues....nice score!!! [​IMG]

    I like the stock "resto-rod" look personally, but I have seen some cool removable top trucks too.

    Your call, remember you have to drive it!!!

  10. You just can't have tooo many rides [​IMG]

    Just to be redundant, I don't know about the roadster look for that pickup, I've never much cared for that look either. If you can pull it off, I would love to see some pics.
     
  12. The trucks look to be in good shape. Here's my 48 with the top cut off. As long as the floors and cab corners are good no bracing is needed. The front does get a little movement with out the front sheetmetal in place.

    Taildraggin, were they barn finds or what? I never knew we had that sort of stuff kicking round in the UK. If you get real stuck for space just send word up to me and I'll take it off your hands for free [​IMG]

    Looks like a great score, I'd leave the roof on though, your forgeting about Englands weather.
     
  16. Morrisman I am afraid they have just came in from the other side of the pond. I dont think we can find 50 year old rust free cars over here. [​IMG]

    And yes Daisy's Truck is shiny and causing me lots of grief knocking out all the dents, I'm sure she will update you soon.

    I'm still trying to get used to the truck roadster thing. The English weather might be tough on a roadster owner. I give any guy credit with the balls to drive a roadster in the rain.
