Features 48-54 Chevy/GMC trucks! lets see em ALL!!!

Wow cool pic. Do you still have the COE. Do you have any more photos from the truck?

 

Here is one sitting in the shop. Sold it to a friend of mine who did nothing with it, so I bought it back about 6 years ago. I too many projects going on, so I sold it back to my friend. The truck is completly apart right now. Body has been sand-blasted and some of the rusted panels replaced. Looking for another body shop to finish the body so he can put it back together. I'dove to see it finished(finally!).

 

This is my most recent COE. I got this one Sunday and probably won't get started on it for several months.

 

It's Beautiful !!! Congrats. Getting hard to find good ones( at least out here on the East Coast)

Phil's 48 (we tried to talk him out of the wheels)



Chad's 48 shop truck

 

Are COE fenders hard to come by? There is one in Ann Arbor that the guy claims runs and would sell for $1500 2 or 3 years ago. Since it hasn't moved, my suspicions on it running are doubtful but the fenders are sheet metal that someone made up. Not that I need another truck...

 

COE fenders are not as common as pickup or big truck fenders but I don't think they are rare. I now have two full sets...

 

hope you like

 

What's not to like? Beautiful ! !

This is what it used to look like

Been watching this thread before I even had my A.D. Pickup. Heres mine. Bought it from Craigslist in Jan 2007 and was taking it to shows in late July of 07. Bought it not running or driving. Was all original. Now slated for body work eventually, right now it's being shown as a ratrod.

Need to get it down in the weeds. has a 4"drop in back, front needs to come down a bit still. Going to remove some leafs tomorrow in front and back to lower and soften ride (all new springs). Straight axle in the front. Planning on changing to IFS soon. This projects on hold while building a numbers matching 73 454 El Camino with factory air from TX. Complete build for this and all my trucks are documented on another website. If interested in my journal, contact me and I will send you a link.

Thanks for bring this up! your pickin' at my scabs.
I really miss my Ol' 47 Advance-Design.

 

Here's some shots of my 48 Chevy. 350/350 with air/heat and cd. I figure Rod and Custom has their Dream Truck, I can have my Nightmare Truck. Great seeing all the versions of the same truck. Not sure about www tires. For sure bags on rear.

JCHAV62, I'm partial to '54s and '55S1s. I'd protect mine with razor wire as well! Love the chrome grill. Is it new?

 

Glad you thought my ol' 54 was kool! Yes! The Grill is New!
