The yellow D-2 is beautiful. Interesting (I like them) mirrors, and a well done (fabricated) bed and tailgate. The hood latches are added as well.

Turned out great. It's a shame the average Joe walking past will never realize your incredible skills that finished it up. Kudos.

Hello,

There are very few trucks that I would love to drive around. One was the first 56 Ford F100 I saw and got a ride from back in Long Beach in 1957. Tahitian Red, lowered, chopped at a weird angle, white upholstery, chrome wheels, etc. that was a very cool custom that looked like a show car (truck). Now 61 years later, here is one other truck that we have seen in So Cal for the last several years.

We have seen it during the busy winter season at a So Cal city’s downtown holiday extravaganza. Sometimes we see it cruising around the OC. But, whatever the time or place, it is one truck that we would like to have and drive. It got the seal of approval from my wife.

She was trained in the 65 El Camino for many years and loves the feel of driving a two seater car/truck. She was the primary driver of another later model, El Camino with A/C another 7 years.

The look of the white, Chevy truck immediately draws your attention as it sits on a lowered stance. The super looking wheels are reminiscent of the American Mags from the 60s, but fit this truck’s looks better. (size, shape and filling the big wheel well openings) There were just enough small touches to make it a custom, but a reliable daily driver. How could it not be a reliable daily driver if it is the rolling advertisement for a small florist’s shop?

The tired old 283 had been replaced with a more modern motor for added power and reliability in our future, daily lives. (There would be an instant start up without worrying about the AAA service tech coming to your house or the side of the road.) Upon start up, the power is there, but so is our daily reliable form of transportation. Even if it is a 30 mile round trip for more drought tolerant plants and a quick stop for some clothes shopping for you know who…

A custom truck with nice paint, wheels, gauges, bed, etc is our definition of a cruiser with some usefulness. We like hauling mulch, bark and a million succulents, and other drought resistant plants and shrubs for our converted small yard from grass to a dry scape. What a better way to go get the plants and other stuff for our yard. That is hauling in style, but carefully so as to not damage the custom bed. The steps we go to preserve our future, cool cruisers or hot rods…

From another thread:

Hello,

This past holiday season, we saw a cool looking white, 1959 Chevy pickup truck that had all of the goodies and the look for cruising up and down the coast. It was a rolling advertisement for this cute shop in San Clemente. With the logos on the side and rear tailgate, it qualifies for a definite tax write off as a business expense. Years ago, I found out that magnetic signs do not qualify for a business expense. They have to be painted on the door and rear panel. There is a minimal size limit for the painted advertisement in those places. The sign has to be big enough and permanent is what the tax law write off means.

Every year, the local city has a winter themed downtown event that brings the whole city together. This Chevy truck stood out on the main street, sitting next to the store display booth. The owner is a long time hot rodder and had made just enough custom touches in the truck to make it show quality for daily business/pleasure driving.
Yes, it had a big Chevy motor instead of a small SBC engine. The emblem on the tailgate said: “Fuel Injection” and it had one. But, just a modern version and not the old 283 Chevy injection. Truth in advertising…a great business sense.

It is from one of the local merchants. It is always fun to see a cool looking, low stance, hot rod/truck on display or on the local roads.
