1953 Chevrolet

[KRT]

Cool little truck. Going to look better with white walls, air ride, and LSx powered.

When you get into body work let me know. MIL has a 1940 F1 that I need a body off restoration done on. The drive train has already been redone and converted to 12v. Time to start thinking about the body.

Lamont’s ride right there.

5 window?

Where's the back seat?

Where's the back seat?

Putting back seats in a truck was the first step to making them "grocery getters". It's all been downhill from there. And it made trucks WAY more expensive. Trucks should be single cab and they should ride like a truck.

5 window?

looks like a Three to me....

Never understood the 5 window thing...the corner windows are at different heights than the back and it just looks like you gave someone a sawzall and said make me two more openings. I just think they look better without the corner windows, but they certainly have a following.

Kevin-Like seeing these builds you are doing.

[Tater]

Agreed.

Kewl, my youngest wants a 80s square body. KRT, we need to talk and see if its worth trying to find a project.

What's the ball joint situation?

[Slaya]

Glenn, He's more concerned about canuter valves, I reckon. That and a vehicle that matches his dream mullet.

Your son must be cool as hell.

[Slaya]

He's a legend in his own mind.

All original... Chevrolet bo!

It’s not a 5 window.

[KRT]

He's a legend in his own mind.

Yes I am.... wait your son?

[Slaya]

LMAO, yessir, the little one has hatched a plan to fix up his first vehicle. Not sure its doable, but I like the idea of him putting in some work.

[KRT]

1985 square body LS'd would be sweet

[Slaya]

That exceeds my abilities. I wouldn't know where to begin rigging that up, but I agree. I would think we could do some body and suspension, and could probably talk a neighbor into helping us paint it. Save up and have you do the engine and trans, and make sure its safe and sound. He'd have the same budget as the oldest, so I'm not sure if it can be done.
