Steve VandenBerg's 1947 Chevy LWB Stepside

From Steve :

           Here is my 1947 Chevrolet long wheel base Stepside pickup truck for the gallery.

           An acquaintance had this truck and he needed to sell (because of a divorce) and asked me to come and get it. He had placed the body on a late model Chevy 4 x 4 chassis. He bought a lot of new parts for it and never got it finished. He did a pretty good job on the install.

           My friend's ex had no interest in it other than its monetary value.

           I really liked the stance of the truck, so I relieved him of his truck. The truck has new brakes and tires, new gauges for the interior, lots of trim, glass, bumpers and running boards. Right now, it's just sitting in the back yard.

           SO ... IT’S FOR SALE!
