FINALLY GOT MY OWN 55 CHEVY SHORTBED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Post by THUNDERSTRIKE1 »

I did alot of horse trading to get to here lol.Its not the 55 belair i wanted ,but its virtually rust free.Its totally disassembled,has 83 chevy half ton suspension all original sheetmetal and glass,even comes with exta set of doors,all new weather stripping and new tires.All suspension rebuilt.Now tomorrow i gotta start hauling it all to my house,about two trips if borrow my buddys car hauler trailer lol.Its partly sandblasted and virtually dent free cept for door dings.Ive been wanting one for years,this one has been sitting among a group of model A ford cars for years.Its taken 5 years to finally pry it from his hands and his brother still has the original drivetrain for it but im a rodder an d dont need it lol.I got a sweet 358 with 300 vette heads ported and polished gonna pull out of my 79 c10.
Any great websites for custom 55 chevy trucks??? To check out paint scheems and interiors and nice view of the different style wheels they running.DON

This has always been a good resource for old GM pick-ups.
