55-59 chevy oddities

Have any of you guys ever stumbled upon a 55 2nd series through 59 chevy or gmc 5 window cab?

 

seen a pic of one in a junk yard,think it was on stovebolts .com

 

No, but that would definitely be different.

 

They were all big trucks. Drag'n '59- lets see some pics of YOUR truck! Looks cool in the icon.

Linky linky....

Always thought one of those cabs might be cool on my 3100.....

 

the bottom one is a gmc just for the record...the dash is a giveaway

 

I think all the 5 window cabs were Gay Man's Chevys....

 

Well Goodness

 

Now where's the pics of the four door cabs??????

 

That's a LCF cab, Low Cab Forward in Chev parts book jargon. Not many left ...

 

I love how fast you can get answers on this site. Now I want to see more pictures. does any one have a pictures or a possible 4dr conversion or a 3 door ? I would also love to see a full truck with the 5 window cab if anyone has any pictures.

 

Here's a '55 five window that a club member of mine just bought.

 

Okay.... here's more...

Nother 5 window...





Fleet 100 '59 GMC. Ever seen one?

It is a rare truck. It has a Chevy cab and a GMC title. There are other items that are Chevy as well. I don't know how long they made them, but I have a picture somewhere of a '55 second series GMC Fleet 100, looks like a 55 Chevy shortbed with an expanded metal grill.



Check out the bottom left for the factory photo.

Thanks for posting all of the pics, I have one of the 100 models with the single head light, and a gmc 300 wrecker. That is why i was so interested in the 5 window cabs!

 

My GMC 300

Not many good pics to show...I am having to back track and fix and redo some stuff I don't like so, I haven't taken many pics since it has been painted.

 

Your truck is going to be awesome when finished

 

I read somewhere that fleet option trucks with the single headlights and the mesh grillework were built to save a few bucks on larger volume purchases.

 

Thanks!

 

I have a 58 Fleet option.

 

Ok, let's try this again. Here are two photos of my 58 fleet option.

And need to build something I can sell. Will put all new IFS and all the other stuff. you Know that theycant live with out power disk ,power windows and air and so on.

Does anyone have any other info or photos these GMC 5 window cabs??? Did they only come on certain CLF trucks?

Thanks,
Sean

 

i would mind having a 5 window cab myself. my understanding it was only the big 2ton and up GMC only, fleet option, in which the standard style cab is the same as a 1/2 ton cab

 

I found one of those '55-'59 5 window GMC huge-ass trucks locally about a year or so ago, I considered stopping and making an offer on it, then I realized I don't have the time or space to put together something wacky like that. Maybe if he'd let me sawzall off just the roof and parts I needed I could save it for later, but really, I don't need that right now.

Wish I'd brought a camera, though...

 

Not sure I like the look of the 5 windows on that cab??

But then I prefer small windows to the big window anyway.

 

Me too... here in North Carolina the big back window makes it a fishbowl in the summer... super hot if you don't have A/C, the small window stays cooler.

 

Anybody else have any images of these 5 window trucks?
