Maybe a drop axle, wide whites, matte paint, stock interior look http://s197.photobucket.com/albums/aa177/indyflycaster/48%20Chevy%20truck/ Dan 1948 Chevrolet Thriftmaster In the Stovebolt Gallery More pix on Photobucket My Blog about the Rebuild Whetzel Trace Travelers

Have a look on the dash to see if it has a rash because I think that may be a Ford radio hanging there! 1951 GMC 1 Ton Flatbed -- It is finally on the road and what a great time I have driving it! 1951 1 Ton Completed My Chevy Master 4 Door is on the Road!

Cool truck though. "My tires and tubes are doing fine, but the air is showing through" 1946 Chevrolet 1/2-ton In the Stovebolt Gallery More pix on Photobucket

And I am thinking of replacing the engine - just wanted to see if we could get the original one running. I am still on the fence regarding a GM clip, Mustang II, S10 frame or just a dropped axle.
