hahaha. i know that 54tow.
53 monster - I havent done much looking but yes, it does not have vent windows and I originally thought that 53 was the first year being that was why i always wanted a 53 over earlier years...but I could be wrong.
marklaken - I was thinking the same thing. I guess its kinda like buying a house or anything really. Youre going to pay for it up front or in the end...Talked it over with the wife and we are going to hold out for either a running engine or a solid chassis and bodywork. We are thinking its too much to take on both at the same time, especially for a first time run. That specific truck I would almost definitly go rod style with its condition.
Appreciate yalls input. Really need the confidence in decision making.
Btw. Just found an OLD NAVY truck that they used as a display in the store. Its a shell but the chassis looks good. Outside is all painted up, would need engine and trans. Still waiting to hear back about the interior. Otherwise looks like its in GREAT condition from the outside, Would be great to put in a SBC. They said it was a 1950 GMC rebadged as a chevy with chevy tailgate, but again this one has the vent windows so I have to believe it was later than that. They are asking $2000 for the shell, chassis, red rims with moon caps.
