Old Cars

57 Chevy P/U completely shaved body, frenched turn signals, '70 Camaro running gear, 350/350 combo. Tapered '94 chev bed ( 5 inches narrower in front), no vent windows, torque thrust II wheels, 17" in rear and 16 in front. Comfortable driver that gets 15 MPG on highway. 100% owner built, first attempt at street rodding, built for under $10,000!

Here is a picture of my 56 Chevy 3100 Panel truck. It was built by Paul & Claire McDonald of British Columbia over a 2-3 year period from 1988-91. All emblems and door handles have been shaved and door seleniods installed. The Panel has a 350 /350 with a narrowed Ford 9" w/tubed original inner fenders. The 4 wheel disc brakes are suprisingly effective. A 71 Chevelle front clip was installed as well. After DRIVING it to Mesa, Arizona in late 1998, the interior was finished-off with a two tone grey tweed, a pair of bucket seats, a new sound system, trick steering wheel, & an aluminum radiator, to keep it running cool in this blistering desert. A new engine & 700r4 are scheduled for spring of 2002, along with a new graphic scheme.

Hi my name is Steve and I leave in NorthEast Tennessee. I own this 1953 Chevy Pickup Truck. It is powered by a 350 V8 engine, automatic transmission and has Air Conditioning. It is a very Sweet ride and is one of many Street rods in this area, but it can hold its own in a parking lot full on them. Thank you for taking time to look at my truck and I will enjoy sharing it with others..

Dad bought this for me 19 years ago for $600. Just completed it's newest restoration. Did a lot of the work myself with the help of my husband and a great paint man. It has a 1960 235ci 6cyl and except for the paint and tires, It's stock!

I have always had this thing for flat beds. I have finished the Chevy 3600 and it is all original, very solid with all new or completely rebuilt parts. The International is my personal favorite and I am in the process of restoring it completely. The motor is out of it at this writing as its being rebuilt. The IHC has been in my wife's family since it was new. We know of its entire history from when it was delivered to the International dealer in Dover TN. to be used as the dealerships delivery vehicle to when we brought to Oklahoma from Tenn. My wife's Grandfather used this truck to deliver the IHC H, Super C or C tractors he sold as a salesman for IHC. He would strap a C on the flat bed with the small front wheels right up by the driver's side corner of the bed and the back wheels just barely on the bed and pull a trailer with another tractor on it to deliver them. When he retired from IHC in 72 the Company signed it over to him as a retirement gift because he always favor...

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.

Here is picture of My Old Truck. A 1948 Chevy. "Loadmaster" 1½ Ton Flatbed Dump. 39,109 Miles on it. Running Gear Original. 4 speed. Trans, 2 speed rear. Has been changed to 12 volts. I drove Truck Home. Needs Some work will keep Posted.

Here is my 1947 Chevy Truck!

This is my BadAzz 47 Chevy Thriftmaster pickup yep we're in the middle of a frame up restoration, and enjoying every minute of it. I live in Niceville, Florida and purchased the truck in Flowery Branch, Georgia for 800 Dollars. Best $800 I've ever spent. Hey my truck made it into the August edition of "Street Trucks".

I purchased this truck as seen in the photo. It is 100% original with great Factory Paint ( a little sun baked ), absolutely no rust anywhere and is dent -free. The truck only has "32,670 Original Miles" The truck had been started in the hay shed occaionally but not driven for approximately 50 years ! When we started her up she ran so smooth and quiet we sat a glass of Wine on the Valve Cover without hardly a ripple ! We have sent the "Young Lady" off to a professional shop for NOS Brakes System and some "Spit and Polish" I will proudly send an update photo when she is ready for her "debut"

I have a 46 Chev half ton and I got the following info off of the plate... Serial# 6131411937 Engine C147675 Trim 392 Body 2586 Paint 630 It is a beauty truck and I have just started to restore it. It has a 1957 235 engine in it.

After purchasing a gas station and repair garage outside Seattle, we thought it would be a great idea to have an old truck to advertise. We searched high and low and came across this lady in Spokane, about 350 miles away. Talked to the man who had owned it since 1955, and he said that it was in good shape, and that after all these years he figured it was time to part with her. I ventured out to see if it was worth it, and bought it at a fair price. Jumped behind the wheel, gassed her up, and drove all the way home, over 2 mountain passes in 100 dgree weather, and delivered her to her new home without a single problem, not even any oil used! The plan for her is to repaint the truck to match Union 76 paint colors, put our logo on the doors, and have a little fun driving the old girl. While the engine is in fine shape, the old 4-speed has to go. We will make it a little easier for the beginner by adding a synchro'd 3 speed attached to the existing 235 6cyl. No other modifications will...

My truck is a 45 chevy 1.5 ton, that I have restored from the ground up. It has a 235, 4 speed, 2 speed rearend and a hoist.

I thought that you and your visitors might get a kick out of our 1942 Ton and a half Chevy. It is a recreation of one of 200 trucks especially made for the British unit called the Long Range Desert Group. The trucks were made in Oshawa Canada at the GMC plant. This military unit required a special vehicle for travel behind the German and Italian lines in North Africa during WW II. For more information about this truck and the LRDG visit our web site at www.lrdg.org

I have a '42 I just picked up, here is a picture. It’s pretty much stock other than the Ford bed and the turn signals. Thanks, Steve Bryant

Here are a couple of pictures of my 1941 Chevrolet ½ ton truck. The picture without me in it was the day I picked it up. The other was taken about 3 months ago right after I picked it up from the body shop. I had it painted inside and out and mostly new chrome. Also a friend redid the bed for me. The truck has a 350/350 power steering, power brakes, AC, FM/CD, AT, tilt, 4.11 positive traction rear end, new paint, bed, rims.

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...

I am a 16 year old guy in Glendale, California. My grandfather told me that the truck was a US Forest Service truck in its day. He purchased the truck from the ABC School District for 25 dollars in the 60's. He used the Chevy for taking trash to the dump. Then my father got an idea and wanted to hot rod it in the 70's. It have been sitting in the garage disassembled since then. My cousin (Travis - an auto mechanic), my father (Dale), and myself (Erik), have just began the process of resorting it. We plan to put a turbo 400 tranny, at least a 327, and possibly upgrade to suspension to a Mustang II. Also packed with an old 30's Pontiac read end. This is our project to have this done in 2 years for my senior year at school. Here is a picture of the truck with my cousin to the right of it. It needs a major overhaul but it will be accomplished.

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...
