Looked at this site from time to time thought I'd jump in. Alot of good stuff on here. Hope you guys don't mind if I throw my two cents in now and then. I'm working on a 53 Chevy pickup 5 window I've had since 1992 after I sold my 1969 Camaro back in 1985 for a whole 4800 bucks to help buy property for my house. Back then that's all I could get. Would have been worth about 48,000 today! After I built the house I promised myself I'd buy something. So I drug this truck out of a field. And like everyone else life,kids,job all comes first and my truck comes last. Did alot of airbrush painting to buy alot of parts, sold some guns my father in-law left me. And sorry to say some other money from family members that have passed to work on my project. I tell people my truck is my tattoos. Retired from ups after 30 years and now working at Napa for the past 6 years. Work on my truck when I can. I'll get it done someday. Learned alot the hard way so would be glad to help anyone if I can. And of course I will need help as well. Hope I'm welcome been through my project is a 53 pickup. thanks!

Welcome from the Pacific Northwest; great intro.! Life does get in the way sometimes, but all we can do is punt with it. Be sure to check out the various sub-forums, especially the Advanced Design pickups, for lots of info. on the 47-54 models.
