Her grandfather bought it used in 66 and later passed to his son, my father-in-law. It has been sitting for 20+ years but rust is surprisingly minimal. I've yet to find what will prob be a lot of other problems. Here it is being loaded up to move down to my home in Long Beach. http://www.flickr.com/photos/87841013@N00/3818253173/ Comments appreciated. Some have had issues with the link, so here is the image again. [image] http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3510/3818253173_1e094af678.jpg [/image] Last edited by briano42; 08/14/2009 3:47 PM.

As for the restoration packet a recent thread here on the bolt shows that most don't think its worth the money and all you get are some photo copies. 54Tow has given you the place for good info and what you don't get on the online manuals you can get here at the stovebolt!!! Good luck and keep us posted with some pics!! 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. I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you
