I originally got the truck from Oregon and moved it here in Michigan, I drove it for about 2 weeks, then decided to have it restored, I had a local restorer of vintage cars take on the task of doing my truck like his cars, he's old and slow but very good at body work and painting. I assembled everything on the truck and put as many NOS parts I could find to keep this a Numbers Matching truck,( Date code glass, Original paint colors etc.) this was a very original truck when I purchased it, I tried to cover every detail from the front to the back, I hope the pictures show that, I plan on getting a trailer for it and taking it to some real good shows to get it judged for Points. THANKS FOR THE NICE TRUCK SIGHT.....

You nailed it! You get 101 points on my judging scale. Every detail is perfect - including the Delco battery (which ain't cheap) Thanks for sharing.

I felt the same way about my NAPCO. But I must truly say, I enjoy her in such a different way, and so does everyone else that see her, when I take her out on the road. It is a different level of appreciation. Plus it gets easier to make the decision each time I take her out. It helps that I am neuroic enough to enjoy detailing her undercarriage after each ride. Thanks for sharing her. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2011 Posts: 112 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2011 Posts: 112 | Steve--great looking truck & job well done!! I am in the process of doing similar work to my 57--but not to the degree of original detail you have done.
What color is the exterior of yours??
Mine will be 'Brewster Green' as org--
