Dean,
That's a great story about Justin. "Just tin"? I find the pickups from the 20's and 30's most appealing of all the Chevy trucks. Mine is a '36 and it's been driven from Southern California to Colorado Springs and while there also to the summit of Pikes Peak (14,110 ft. above seal level) when that was still a dirt road.
No trailer queens for me, thank you very much, although my '36 won Class T-2 (1929-36 trucks) while it was in Colorado Springs for the 1976 VCCA National Meet.
I'd like to meet some other Nor Cal guys who do their own restoration work.
