My daughter (17 years old) just used her summer job money to buy an old Chevy truck. We're picking it up tomorrow. My research has me believing it's a 1948 6400 made in NY. The first part of the serial number is 2RW-D. It's somewhat rough, but it's a five-window, has a factory AM radio, and decades ago belonged to a wrecking yard owned by a good friend of my dad's. I'm a lot more familiar with the 67-72 Chevys, since I have a '68 K20, a 69 K10, a 72 C10 and a '72 K10 burb. This is a new adventure for both me and my daughter. She has been wanting something in this body style since she was about 12, and she worked and saved her own money to buy it.
We haven't really looked at it close enough to make solid plans on moving forward. We have discussed using all the original chassis, and we have also discussed buying a newer chassis to put it on, giving it modern brakes/steering/axles/etc...
I'm certain I'll have a million questions along the way. Already started digging through these forums trying to gain a base knowledge of the beast. I already have a burning desire to see what kind of rims I have and if they are the 'widowmakers"!
