    It has to have some history with those slicks on back. Very cool.

  14. Do I smell a build thread on the horizon?

    If it turns out half as nice as the truck you will have another winner in the stable! HRP

    bought it from a 84 year old man he drove it with the flathead in it to double springs Alabama from atlanta Ga. in 1957 about 1960 they changed out the rear end to a pontiac put the slicks on it 3sp tran with fox craft shifter 283 chevy and tore up the streets with it around 62 they need to built the motor was put into the barn pulled the heads off jack up the block to get the rods and piston out the bottom that is exactly out i bought the car setting there still in the air on two wood blocks
