One of my customers had this given to him last week and he decided he didn't want it. It was running when the PO decided to start dis***embling it to restore. It came with new cab corners, sill boxes, lower hinge plates and good Ohio ***le. I plan on putting it back together and driving it.
Lucky dog. I have always wanted one of those for a heavy duty daily driver. I would to put a ***mins 4BT in it and a TH400.
The front end looks decent from what id visible in the photos...the rear fenders can take a LOT of abuse...just pound them out. Freebies are always good, but a freebie '55 Chevy pickup can't be beat. Nice score...
Nice truck my grandpa has one. Its a 55 big window. Siting on a 64 chevy pickup frame with a 327 and a TH350. White with a blue pural. Heres some pictures of it.
When I was a kid (age 3-7 or so) my dad had one of those. He took the original bed sides, filled the holes, and added the fenders from a 68-72 stepside on it and the look was incredible.
A few more wires to run, bleed the brakes, build ladder bars and the g***er will be on the road. I swapped a 1/2" impact for a fresh 327 that I'm going to put in the Camaro next, then I'll start messing with the truck.
DAMN IT, I been lookin for one of those to put my 472 Caddy in but around here they're all pretty much junk. Nice score and hell I'll give ya 5 times what you paid for it
