Steve Orbeck's 1952 Chevy and 1954 GMC 350

From Steve :

             Here are some pictures of my trucks.

The ’52 Chevy pick-up I’ve had for almost 30 years. I bought it in Ellensburg, Washington in 1976 from a farmer who I believe was the original owner. It is bone stock with original 216 and 4-speed tranny. It has been a “working” truck up until two years ago when I gave it some major attention. It is now semi-retired.

The’54 GMC 350 I bought two years ago off of eBay from a guy in the San Jose, California area. He had done some good things to an already solid truck. However, it didn’t run right until I did some carb work and other tinkering. I installed the stock gauges, finished the interior, wiring, and had a friend paint it. It is pretty much stock, except for a previous 12-volt conversion. It has a 270 with a 4 speed and a 2 speed rear-end. Has a PTO and tilt bed.

             I’m always looking for spare parts for the '54 truck. If you know of any, please drop me a line.  

Thanks,

Stevo
