I have a 1947 5 window Chev 1/2 ton in the Gallery ... "The Canary".
I also have a 1953 3 window Chev 1/2 ton... "The Toad" which I think is in the gallery. Which has a Pacer front end, 9" Ford rearend, Toyota gauges etc. We had a period on the stovebolt page where I was given detailed instructions by several members on how to rebuild a 350 Chev engine, it went on for weeks and weeks finally got it finished and it still moves the Toad from place to place.
I recently purchased a restored 1952 3 window 3/4 ton Chev. '
I helped the previous owner from time to time during it's restoration as his health was failing. This is defiantly the finest restored truck I have ever seen. He recently developed Parkinson's Disease and is not doing well. When he offered the truck for sale I felt obliged to get it so that it would not end up being resold to someone who didn't appreciated the vehicle.
