I've loved these 5 window trucks for sometime and finally have one of my own to say the least!
My father currently redoing one himself (not a 5 window) was lucky enough to find two (the second a 5 window)however we are a few thousand miles apart I couldn't rush and pick it up. While certainly I've laid eyes on it dreamed of doing so it's a project within it's self it and seems more than I can chew. While this truck still sits at my fathers I continued to search for a project a little less intense. Not that I'm lazy but question my abilities.
Well my searching lead to a phone call about three weeks ago putting me onto a 53 chevy 5 window barn/garage kept for the last 18 years. The truck was driven up to 3 years prior to the owners passing 21 years ago. Needless to say it was a phone call I couldn't believe! I went on a rainy Sunday which was a true bummer as knew I couldn't roll the truck out and really look at it the way I wanted. Still unseen and the unknown of a truck 61 years old I was hopeful. Let me say the story held true the moment I pulled in.
While it took me less than two days to get my money together and the weather to permit I was hooked! So now I'm on in and will be doing my part to post updates and ask a ton of question all after searching first! My goal is to get her running and drive as is for the current as I'm thinking this is original stuff on this truck and would like to work out a resto plan. Take a look and let me know y'all's thoughts.
Thanks so much for having me!!
