So Stevie G did me favor and checked out one on the AL/GA border... He was very nice about telling me how big a POS it was... Thanks man, very much appreciated.... Now to find out about the one that Choprods knows about... It's getting harder to find one now than I thought... But I'm on the lookout...
Funny, I was thinking of getting one last year. I really like the quad-headlight ones (59?). Problem I had with them is the 'fleetside' bed and cab lines really don't seem to fit together. Needs some paint trickery like a 2-tone (like the gold&white one) to make it work. Here's a couple links for parts and info. As you've probably found from Google there's a handful of rabid organizations devoted to them, so parts shouldn't be too hard to come by with some networking. http://www.oldihc.org/ http://www.rimbey.com/TruckMuseum.htm And here's an old Travelall ambulance at our local strip.
So it looks like the deal is done and I'll be importing this one from Texas... Dig the cool gold interior... the straight body... and the paint just a flakin' off... Blake hooked me up by checking it out and taking pictures of it.... I'm psyched, now to get it home from Texas....
If you want a lead on a Golden Jubilee bed with the cool taillights/tailgate to go with that let me know. I was going to pick it up for my 1957 A120 but it's actually meant for the 1957 1/2 squared off cab(like yours). Marcy
I like the mint green stepside! I found two (or three) of these on a lot on I-55 near Park Hills, MO. Not sure of the name of the place, but they have a lot of stuff just sitting there.
