I thought I'd share my latest Toy.
A 1955 Chevy 3200 pickup.
A few Saturdays ago, I hitched up the trailer and headed down to Cockrell Hill. Backed up the driveway, unspooled the winch, and opened the shed doors. It looked like a scene from "Hoarders," junk piled around, on and in this little guy. Hooked up the cable and drug it out.
It had been stored in there since 1987 and finally saw the light of day.
It has a 235 L6 and was a Powerglide which I have already replaced with an original column shift 3spd manual setup. Initial plans are to get it road worthy and clean it up a bit. Nothing drastic yet.
So on with a few pics. Enjoy.
The shed I pulled it from.
First light in 25+ years.
On the trailer.
First bath, must not have had tree sap on it. lol
New brakes, M/S, flushed the fuel system and C/L tires
And how it currently sits. Cruises pretty good but it's the slowest thing I own.
And a quick MS Paint. Kind of shooting for this stance and a granite blue/gray color. But that's all in the future after I get some other projects out of the way.
