1941 Chevy 1/2 ton, 3 spd, 216 engine runs like a watch, very original, found it in Iowa on a farm under a tarp, behind a barn, originally came from Wisconsin, company logo hiding under the paint on passenger door. Nice ole truck...
Serge's 1950 Dodge After five years of blood, sweat, and tears I've completely restored, this ¾ ton, 1950 Dodge, B-2-C truck from the frame on up to it's original beauty. With the aid of many Dodge truck restoring enthusiasts on the internet, internet junkyards, and support from my family this project ended a fruitful journey. The truck is a local hometown vehicle since day one and I'm the third owner. My advise to future truck restorers: Initial Purchase Price = $1,500.00 Restoration Costs = $12,000.00 Driving her on Tennessee back roads listening to Fats Domino, Buddy Holly, Bill Hailey = Priceless
When I went on your website and viewed your gallery of "Farm Finds" I just had to send you my beauty! After I looked at all the other old rusty trucks sitting in fields, I didn't feel so bad. This will be my first restoration project ever! With the help of my husband and father, we plan on getting this baby on the road hopefully in the next 5-10 years! I recently emailed Ford Canada and requested some historical information on this truck, and they will be sending something to me soon (just to see what this truck looked like in the "good old days". This poor old truck has been sitting in my parents field at the farm for as long as I can remember (I'm 29 years old). I finally took the initiative and asked my father if I could have it and fix it up. Now the trouble to try to get the ownership in my name! No one remembers who the previous owner was (probably dead) so I go on a hunt to get it in my name! Wish me luck. Debbie
Well hear she is, my favorite GMC, a 1938 Chevrolet half ton pickup, Model 1314. Built in Oshawa Ontario, it found it's way to the small town of Lorette in Manitoba after an undetermined amount of owners. In 1981 my Dad booked a flight to his home town of Winnipeg with my little sister Michelle in tow and explored the possibilities of purchasing a "classic" truck. Considerations such as Ford, Dodge, prewar, postwar, and Chevrolet were made. Well, a couple of weeks later my father approached me and asked me if I would be interested in a "little adventure" trip with him. Next thing you know, I'm in Winnipeg under the chassi of a 38 Chev, working on the exhaust system and simultaneously trying to identify all the grease points. After one week of 14 and 16 hour days dedicated to maintenance. We were ready to begging our adventure. Just picture it, father and son taking a leisurely trip across the country from Winnipeg to Montreal. Loaded up with tool boxes, ...
