Hi everyone. Wanted to share my new purchase & learn about big bolts. Gave a new home to a 53 Chevy 4400 rack body. She is as old as I am but shows her age better. Has great patina that I don't plan on removing and painting. The stake bed looks to be original, wood deck rotted but metal strip still in tack. Body has only two rot holes, drives cab corner, sheet metal riveted over quite a while ago & section of floor in front of battery box. Run & drives doesn't stop. Master cylinder frozen & not sure about the rest of the brake system. Mice got into the seat & headliner, need replacing & may see about just polishing the interior to clean it up. no plans to repaint. Going for the aged look. Just plan to get her mechanically sound & have fun driving. Also we have a wedding venue & will make a great looking lawn ornament to go a long with my 56 Case 311B tractor.
