Joe Mendola's 1949 Chevy 3/4-ton Platform

From MotherTrucker:

     This blue 1949 Chevy 3/4-ton Platform truck started its life out on a farm until I purchased it 8 years ago. It was never registered for road use until I licensed it. It has gone through a complete restoration. I replaced the original 216 motor with a 1957 235 which helps the driveability.

     This truck has many original NOS options, stainless window trim, rare GM "cattle guard" grill guard, original directionals with arrows in the lenses, fresh air heater, "Fulton" sunvisor, running board step plates.

     This truck spends most of its time nowdays helping keep other old trucks on the road by being my parts hauler and swap meet truck. Hope that gives you enough info about my trucks.

     I will send pictures of my current projects, 1954 Chevy telephone truck,1949 Suburban and my 1947 2 ton C.O.E. when I get a chance.

Thanks,
Mothertrucker
