Si Lupton's 1954 1.5-Ton Chevy COE

"Nadine"

From Si

         Nadine is doing fine. She has spent the cold winter in her own barn here in Hartland, Vermont. She'll go on a few truck tours this spring. She has a newly refinished, correct year flatbed body ready to be installed this spring. I have been busy finishing my 64 foot by 28 foot truck shed that had four 12 foot tall garage doors!

Still not big enough to fit all the babies!

Thanks,

          Si sold his 1926 Chevy Open Express. But he still has plenty in his fleet: 1941 GMC COE Military Van and a 1925 Mac AC 5-Ton Heavy Cartage truck and a just-for-fun 1969 Suburu 360 Van and a 1939 Worcester Lunch Car Diner in the Alternative Gallery~~ Editor

From Si :

         Here's some photos for the Gallery. My partner Dawne and I live in Hartland, Vermont near Woodstock. Besides old iron and trucks, we love horses (Arabians for her; Drafts for him). We raise English Bulldogs and old labs. For the last 12 years we have operated the Hartland Antiques Center, a 30-dealer, antiques and collectibles retail business on US Rroute 4.

         This is a photo of my 1954 1.5-ton Chevy COE ("Nadine").

         I also am restoring an 18' diameter circa 1912 FITZ iron Mill water wheel that I hope to have installed in my new, old truck workshop and workshop mill this summer.

         Always lots of old tractors, old cars and neat old stuff around all the time! Stop by when you're driving up to the "Green Mountian" State!

Thanks,
