hey all

im 27 years old, been workin on old trucks since I bought my first stove bolt when I was 15 , had it ever since.

these have to be the best looking trucks to ever be built.
the 47-55 chevy and gmc trucks look so nice.

my current plans are to restore my original 1953 gmc 1 ton with a wrecker, the truck will be all original with tthe exception of a 1950 5 window cab,

currently the list of trucks is at 17, but should have 25 before spring.I own a towing and storage company so I have alot of room for these old trucks and I have a roll back so I bring them home two at a time.

my wife loves old truck as much as me but still doesnt know how many I have, and she never goes over to the yard.

hope to learn alot about these old trucks and have a great time .

Welcome! I don't see any fire trucks on your list... Do you have pictures on the internet anywhere (link)? At least I know that I'm not the only young guy around!!! (other than my partner in crime that is...)

Looks like you have quite the collection! Did you find them all in Canada?

Hello all,

yes I found them all within 100Km (65 miles) from my house.

I would love a 1950 fire truck

Welcome Ryan. That’s a fantastic collection you’ve got there. If they could talk they would all ask for a 261 which is the largest displacement bolt in replacement and ultimate stovebolt engine for these trucks. Among the many things Canadians can be thankful for GM Canada put these engines in Pontiac cars from 1955-1962 and I bet you can scoop up a dozen of them by checking your 100 km radius again. Happy hunting and here’s how to spot them:
