From Matt :

           If I could only stop looking! In March, I bought another 1955 Chevy Second series 1/2-ton short box. It was a one owner from Gladstone, Oregon with all the original dealer sheets, options, and base price.

           This truck has a 6 cylinder and 3 speed on the column. I've never seen a hood bird except in pictures. All the chrome is original. The truck is all original but has been painted white over the original turquoise.

           It drives like a dream and has the original Oregon 1956 plates -- what a bonus. It also sports some 1956 Chevy car hubcaps. The cab is tight and everything works. It would be so easy and it would be a crime to not restore this truck back to original.

           Now if I can figure out how to tell my wife.

           Here's a little lineup. Notice the red peak of the new shop in the background. It's all about the trucks!

      Matt said he did finally tell his wife and at least she likes the color. ~ Editor [an error occurred while processing this directive]
