Hello, first off I am new to this site and forum but not new to forums all together. I am hoping to get this truck from my step-dad should he allow it. As far as I can tell it is a '48-53 (thinking '52, b/c of all the ones I can find, a '52 was the only 1 with the same side-view mirrors) Chevrolet Grain Truck. I believe it was his dad's as it has been sitting in the same place on a farm in OK for nearly all my life. It is in VERY good condition as far as body, windows, etc.... go, but not sure about under the hood. I can only assume that is why it has been sitting there for 20+ yrs! I want to try to see if I can get it from him and restore it. I think it would be awesome fixed up. I also thought about making it a car hauler! I wasn't going to go crazy with it, just restore it, maybe drop the front to make it look mean. I really like that idea and I'm sure it's big enough! The wheels on it look pretty cool and appear to be in good shape, so I might just get those polished and chromed. Just ideas right now, but it sounds like fun! I will most likely end up dropping a different engine in it (I was thinking something really big and powerful, a 572 was suggested!) if it is gone (which it most likely is!), and the headliner looks to be falling, but beyond that I don't know/can't tell. Anyways, here's the pics, let me know what you think.
