Art & Inspiration Sitting and Rotting.............picture thread

Nice 49-50 Chevy 5-Window pickup. I wish it was close to me. . Blue GMC pickup is okay too.

 

at least he's go em' covered...........

 

The Chevy and GMC pickups are early models as indicated by twist door handles and no vent glasses. What was the first year these truck had vent windows? '50? I'm thinking push button door handles came about '52 or '53?

 

Those chrome belt line trim bring the big bucks !

I have this little jewel stashed out in central Nebraska as a parts car. Already been picked over for doors and rear axle, seats and some more.

'51 was first year of vent windows, and last year of twist handles.

 

The blue GMC I posted above is a '50, my buddy saved it from it's 30+ year resting place a couple of months ago, we'll see how long it sits in that spot

 

thanks to all for sharing their findings

 

Looks solid! You need to do something with that
I always think of putting the shorter chevy front sheet metal on those (or modifying the pontiacs fenders to make them shorter, something like the Canadian version), after lopping off the front of the frame at the firewall, square tube frame and straight axle for shorter chevy wheelbase
Wouldnt really need a hood or bumper

 

Sorry to hear that place was cleaned out. The roadster on top is a genuine Somewhere-West-of-Laramie 1926 Jordan Playboy; hope someone got it.

 

These showed up at a local scrap joint down the street from me last week. They are sitting outside the gates which is a good thing , he usually put the stuff he wants to sell or keep outside the gates. Anyone who wants contact info, please PM me.

A1 in Roswell has always been a site to see. back in the mid 80's they told me the whole place had been sold and was moving to somewhere in Europe! guess not, have not been by there for too long now

 

They're just everywhere.

That’s one that should be saved. Is it for sale?
