History Custom Chevy Pickup at the Dry Lakes in 1949

I have glanced at this pickup a number of times before pushing the Downey Bros. lakes roadster but never payed much attention to it until the other day. The two major mods I notice are the filled upper grille and skirted rear fenders, I also see a spotlight on the left A pillar.

 

Scans are from the Dec. '49 Hot Rod

 

The skirts are nice on there. Never would have guessed they worked on a truck.

Good eye, Jimmy!

 

That photo makes this a much cooler prospect,thanks Jimmy.The grill is a improvement for me.

 

These old Chevy pickups are just COOL, even as flatbed 2tons!
I'm puttin one on my S10 ch***is if i can get one cheap enough

 

I'm working on my 46 now, I like what they did to the grill.

 

41-46's can push great and race
