I purchased this 1949 Chevy in Lebanon, TN two years ago and have been restoring it ever since. The engine was in good shape when I received it, except for a cracked manifold and minor things like a tuneup. Everything on the truck works including the boom. I plan on adding air eventually to it.

When I first bought it it looked like this
