Original Ca. truck, big back window, with the 235 and 3 on the tree that went to Cincinatti, Okanagan Falls B.C. and I aquired it out of Calgary Alberta. Fairly original except paint color. Drove it home last week and all was going well until the drivers front wheel decided to leave the axle. I thought it was a wheel bearing and had a block to go untill I was stopped for the night. Guess I should have stopped earlier. Tagged the fender on the departure and had to replace 6 studs but managed to get it the rest of the way home. Looking for parts to make it closer to stock. Had a 56 many years ago and always wanted another. Also have a Deuce Roadster that is more of a project so the 55 will fill the gap until its on the road.

Sounds like, even with the wheel problem, you got yourself a nice pickup. Lots of good folks aound here and I'm sure you'll learn others around you area. One is 37chevytruckguy (Trevor) who lives in Surrey so look him up. I think he knows a few more and they get together fairly regular...I think. Anyway, WELCOME to the Bolt. You'll be happy here! 1937 Chevy Pickup In the Gallery 1952 Chevy Panel In the Gallery More photos 1950 Chevy Coupe Pictures! I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.

A friend of mine back east has a 39 with a small block in it. Spent many nights wrenching on it with him. 1955 Chevy 3100

I drove mine home 250 miles and once I made it home and got to digging into it a little bit I am surprised I even made it- without losing a wheel, or breaking a rad hose, or how the brakes managed to not go out! Good luck on your project. Cant wait to see some pics! -Luke "Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work." Story in The Gallery Project pics on Photobucket
