From Rick :

Go big or not at all!
A story about a 1949 MAGNUM Crew Cab in the making

Higher, wider, longer, bigger...

It was about 10 years ago, now ... I was driving down a street in London, Ontario. I looked off to the left and there it was calling out me via signage ..." '49 Chevy $300."

Wow, that's my kind of price point! I pulled off smartly and went to look and ask. It was a 4400 with a stake bed. Really rough, windows broken, but not the 5th windows. It had been used as a yard truck in a lockable storage business. The old truck had not been on the road in decades, but most of the stuff was there. Negotiated $50 off and spent the $50 to have it flat deck towed to my place.

The rest is as we say 'history".

What will follow will frustrate those who restore old Chevy's, and intrigue those who do custom work.

 

This story is continued in our Features section. Enjoy. ~ Editor
