That truck is beautiful. The sedan looks great too. I've been noticing a lot more '40s-'50s era cars being restored around me lately. It's a great switch from seeing nothing but '67-'69 Camaros.

Sweet rides.How fast is the truck?The car is nice,but the truck gets my vote.My dad has a '70 Torino with a 429 SCJ in it,shaker hood,bench seat,4 speed,no radio,only a heater.He still has the factory GoodYear Polyglas GT's on the original wheels hanging on the wall in his garage.He swapped them for Cragars and Firestones when the car was a day old,and he hasn't had the originals on the ground since.He's had some wicked offers for those wheels and tires.LOL.

I LOVE the Chebbie Fleetlines. Guy that regularly is at the local cruises nights all throughout the summer has a black '51, has a sun visor over the windsheild and its got the skirts like that one....lowered just a little....looks cool as hell. I prefer when he takes that as opposed to his '56 chev or his '36 ford :D.

What great rides!  I'd give up my Cougar wagon in a heartbeat for one of those.

Out here in SoCal those old Chevy's are called Bombs.  Very sought after.  Way back in the olden days my parents had a 49 fleetline.  They traded up to a 54 Bel Aire station wagon tin woody.

Which brings back old memories.  My mom and us kids were out with mom doing errands and we all piled in the car after coming out of a store on main street.  She was PO'd when it wouldn't start.  There was something wrong as the key wouldn't turn.....Wrong Car!  I don't know why I remember that as I was probably 6 at the time.  Our car was only three cars away.  I'll never forget the look on her face when she realized.  :D

Nice truck, regardless if its chebby powered, which Im no fan of, but that trucks waaaaay to nice to care about the motor.
Doesnt need a stick, needs a built turbo 400 with a 2800-3000 stall converter. Would scoot!

Thanks again fellas for all of these great compliments... but since it is still my (Pop's PU) and him feeling like he's 20yrs old again. I'm just waiting my time out for maybe landing this bad boy in my own driveway somewhere down the line. :headbang:
