This is my 1948 GMC 3\4 ton pickup. I am only 14 years old and got this truck last summer. The interior is now in primer and the doors are on with primer.
Wrap your eyes around a piece of nostalgia as you drive in the Houston area. Allan and Reba Kingsbury go cruisin' at least once a week in their 1939 Chevrolet ½-ton truck. This rod has won much recognition, including a first place in the Autorama. Allan, Director of Automotive Technology at Humble High School for the last 17 years, has his ASE Master certifications in automotive (8 areas), as well as Master paint and body, and Master heavy trucks. Due to his knowledge, he was inducted into the Automotive Hall of Fame in 1989. He began the truck project about ten years ago to spark the interests of young people who might want into his program. Throughout the years, many students played some part in re-creating the truck. Hot rods today are built fast, but not always safe. Allan's goal was to teach students that safety comes first. If you build a fast vehicle, you should also have anti-lock brakes, for example. This truck boasts 355 cubic-inch displacement, 400 horsepower, 5-s...
It's got the rebuilt '56 235ci. engine, three speed tranny and late model rear. It's got an all 12 volt system, electric wipers, new heater, origional radio and (hidden) Sony AM/FM/CD with column mounted wired remote. The rear bumper is a stainless steel unit on modified mounts to allow the use of the rear roll pan. Juliano's supplied the brighter tail lamp "guts" and Wire Works supplied the LED third brake light. This is a daily driver, in all weather. I'm still finishing the interior, but the seat is reupholstered and has belts for three people.
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
