Hey everyone. I'm Jimmy, had another profile under another name but I hadn't used it in almost two years, the old password sent to an old email, tried to recover the password for the email...yada yada. New account! I have a 1947 Chevy 2 ton flatbed with dump, its last job was collecting chips and sawdust in a mill and then dumping it off. My Papa (dads dad) taguht me how to drive in the Chevy asked me when I was 11 if I wanted this truck and of course I said yes. At that time he had the chevy, a mustang truck, a couple 36 and 37 fords, and an international. All but my chevy and his completed 37 and 2 parts trucks are gone now. I have some big plans for this truck in the future. Should get the wrenches turning again around the next calender year. I'm in the navy now and that should be the time I finish up all my schooling and potentially move again. As for the condition of my truck, the body was in really good shape, minus the passenger door. It somehow filled up with dust and chips and turned into mulch which turned into some cancer. It runs and drives perfectly and can haul anything you put on it. I had problems with the brakes but I recently found a booster from napa for it, which is a bummer now that I'm in Connecticut and the truck is back home in ca. I should be in the bolt quite a bit now, been really missing my truck and thought this should help! Here is a link to some pictures of my truck, along with a couple of my Papas. If you have any questions feel free to ask, I'm usually free after 12.
