Hello stovebolt friends.
It was about 10 yrs ago now, I was driving down a street in London. I looked off to the left and there it was calling out me via signage == '49 Chevy $300 ==. http://i837.photobucket.com/albums/zz296/BAFTUB/49Chev4400for300.jpg
Wow, that's my kind of price point! I pulled off smartly and went to look and ask. It was a 4400 with stake bed. Really rough, windows broken, but not the 5th windows. It had been used as a yard truck in a lockable storage business. Had not been on the road in decades, but most of the stuff was there. Negotiated $50 off and spent the $50 to have it flat deck towed to my place.

The rest is as we say 'history". I will ad more to this post as soon as I as sure how to properly link the photos.

What will follow will frustrate those who restore old Chevy's, and intrigue those who do custom work.
Higher, wider, longer, bigger.
Stay tuned.
