I got my truck (49 1/2 ton, 5 window deluxe cab) 3 years ago. It sat in the storage lot for two years unitl I retired last October (U.S. Army AGR Program, E-7, 92Y40, 22 years). I am currently rebuilding the front suspension and overhaulin' the original brakes. I want to keep it as original as practicable.
The reason I wanted a 49 Chevy (other than I absolutely love the looks of it, and I am a 49er myself) is a picture I have of my twin sister and I with a 49 Chevy. We we about 18 months old and had on little sun dresses with droopy diapers, standing barefoot in the snow! Mother says it was an early October snow and the first time my sister and I had seen snow, so she just stuck us out there.
