I found my truck Three years ago in a field. It had been sitting there since 1975! So when I got it home, You know you have to de mouse it. Boy what a mess that was.Not fun!! After that the fun began! You sit down and plan out what needs to be replaced!

I will have to keep an eye out for that bumper. Or just make one myself.

Interesting.. what color are you going to paint it? JK, it looks nice with the original stencil markings.

Hi Rusty Rod,
The paint work on the doors aren't original at all. I did the stencil work after I finish the truck. It was done that way to honor my uncles that owned the Elliott Chevrolet dealership from 1947 to 1953 in Rochelle Il.
