Lots of rot, missing some parts, and currently disassembled to the frame. Has a 59 235 and a 4 speed. I'd post pics, but I cant figure out how to do so here, so here's a link to my photobucket page for it. http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v339/xkursedx/1949%20Chevy%20Pickup/ | | | | | Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,215 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,215 | welcome.

There's more than a few Va. 'bolters hang out here.
I had a look at your pics,it looks like a lot of work but i'm sure you'll get there.
Some folks start off with a lot less than you've got!
Good luck.
