Thought Id introduce myself..... Been dreamin of a 59 chevy 3200, Fleetside,with the big window of course, lol.... So I figure Id start lookin around. Not a ton of cash to spend, wanting a daily driver, a bit of rust, patina, and character ! Not wanting shiny paint, or perfection.
Well welcome to the Hamb! Kind of the wrong site to be looken for a rusty driver to drive. That would be considerd a rat rod. But hey stick around you mite learn somthing. If you can take the abuse.
You broke the rules already, HA! You should hang around more don't use that word in a post! Besides that Welcome to the HAMB 59-Cully!
Thanx old soul and Smarg, not sure which word Im not supposed to use but Im sure Illl catch on. Had a few buddies tell me to check this site out, so here I am.
Look again cully. He was talking to smarg. Welcome aboard and anything pe '65 is cool with us. No rats though ...
I dont really want a r**r**.... I just know that with my limited cash - 4 kids,1 in college - that Im never going to be driving a shining beauty around... so Im not opposed to having a bit of rust on my daily driver.
No need for showing off rust. Whats wrong with some cheap *** rattle can primer until panel and paint is in the budget. That is true Hot Rodding. Rat rodders just "deliberately" leave the rust for show. God only knows why.
Welcome 59-Cully. Don't mind all of these people. If you have to drive it around a little rusty it is not a big deal. Fortunately these trucks are everywhere and you really aren't going to find one around this area without some kind of rust... this is the salt belt that is for sure. If you have any questions or anything please let me know!
Havin some very different thoughts..... Using a 1995 dodge truck ch***is with a 5.9 12v diesel, and fitting the 59 longbed fleetside on that. Have my power,fuel mileage, AND style...... thoughts ???
