    I think that truck was in at least one 61,2 or 3 magazine but it may have showed up in coverage of the 62 nationals.

    The tail lights look a lot like 60 Valiant

    I thought the tail lights were out of the grille of a 55 Olds-since he said it had an Olds in it once, then I changed my mind after the later pics. Then it was said 61 Valiant. Is that right? What a cool trick. Those decals are killer.

    Bob, As nice as that truck is I hope you can hang on to it. It does look pretty well preserved. Have fun with it.

    Very nice Bob. Glad you got another '34 truck. Gotta love the Honest Powered sticker. Cool truck, but I'm kinda partial to '34 trucks...

    Hey thanks everyone! I am super lucky and honored to own this old truck.

    It does seem like it would have been in a magazine at some point...... Mine are all packed away still from the move...... All the bolts on the cab and fenders are plated someone put alot of care into this truck.

    It came with another grill shell which is black primer and crashed..... where there are chips etc you can see black primer under the blue. I am guessing that it was built in primer and then got in a minor accident and at that point it was fixed and painted Blue.


    Yeah Kevin I am building a car to race you.... haha you are responsible for all of this.

    To me, survivors are the purest form of tradtional Hot Rods, followed by race cars.

    Everything else has been watered down and tainted, twisted into a poor reflection of the past.


    This chicken is bad ass.... Mark made me take it off.
