This truck was bought brand new by my great-granduncle, which just so happened to live behind my grandparents farm. The truck was used for about 20years as a stock hauling truck. During that 20 years my great-granduncle and his sons up-powered the engine by replacing the original with something bigger (as they said it), and put in a 2-speed vacuum rear axle. At the end of its reign the engine "blew up" As they were fixing it, a new truck came along and this Chevy was relegated to the barn. There it sat with the head off the engine(in the shop), until a chance discussion about old trucks came up with the last remaining son of my great-grand uncle and he mentioned this truck.
So eventually we settled at an agreeable price, we found the head in the shop, and out of the barn it came into my possession. The original bed is still at the farm (on the other truck) and I am going to go back to re-install on this truck.
My plan is get it up and running and driving. Someday much later is a restoration job.
