Hi I just got a 1952 Chevy truck, it’s a project but it’s in decent shape. Want to make it my daily. Can’t wait to start asking questions and start on it.

Welcome to the “Bolt”! Wow, nice truck! Looks to be rust free and a great start. See you around the garage!

Hello Atomic52, your truck looks solid, nice find.
FYI: Starting in '51 the doors had wing windows. It looks like yours were either removed, or the doors have been swapped with pre '51 doors. A lot of builders do that so they can install single glass for a simpler build and a cleaner look.

Welcome to the Stovebolt. Consider yourself at home now! Nice catch and its a 5 window. Just ask any questions in the garage forums and we'll do the rest. Thanks for posting the pictures.
........there seems to be quite a few bolters here from CA. so keep a watch for them. You may have a bolter buddy next door!

The doors are ‘52 as you can see the bolt hole for the front of the handle in the door. As for the wing windows, if you look closely, you can see with the absence of the window channel that the window has been removed.
