Let's see those 1950's era pickups

Let's show them off!!

Ive got a 54 chevy p/u. No pics though, i am getting ready to get it out of my parents basement and drag it over to my shop to re-start working on it after a 8 year hiatus.

[e-tek]

LOVE that '52 Dodge - want a miliary vehicle in the worst way!!

Mines a little older, but would've been in its prime in '50!! Rare Canadian Mercury model.

[dmw56]

Awesome trucks Guys!

 

[metal1313]

ive got a 51 f1, i need to restore it but its priceless to me, my grandpa bought it new in 51, and left it to me in his will

 

[Boyd Who]

I don't own it any more, but here's the '48 Chevy 1/2 ton that my wife and I built in 1998. Started with this...

and ended up with this...

 

[Farmallgray]

1951 Ford F1 Rat Rod

There are probably a few guys out there restoring Minneapolis Moline tractors that would love to have that nice straight grille.

 

[jayoldschool]

That's it. I have to buy a truck.

 

[bgarrett]

In the 50s, the flathead V8 was removed from this one.
I talked to a guy who drove it in 1968 when it had a 442 motor.
I've been driving it for 16 years and its on its 3rd engine for me.
Its an ugly beat up truck but it works good.

c39er, That's a pretty neat camper you have on the back of your truck...looks just like a little house!

 

[HOTFR8]

OK not a pickup as such...It did go for the 1st drive today.

Just found this thread. Can I play?

It's not a 50's era, it's a '46 (has a '41 cab, not that there is a lot of difference). Sold my old Porsche 911 after finishing it. It has a 350/350, Jag rearend, four wheel power discs and power steering. Just had it professionally rewired, bought all new windlacing, window channel, door bumpers. All fluids, filters, belts and hoses are due for change out over the upcoming long weekend.

 

[mkdive]

Great thread!

 

[z28snksknr]

The more I see these old trucks, the more I'm leaning towards doing one instead of a 60's muscle car as my first "project" car. They seem to ooze so much more style and originality.

 

[boro_boy70]

Is late 49 close enough? Mine's a 1949 International KB1. Currently apart in the garage waiting for new rear suspension.

 

[gsport]

i was going for one of those 48-53 chevys but ended up with this '50 sport coupe instead..

I was looking for a 48-53 chevy also when I found the International. I should have kept looking LOL These old Binders are a ***** to find parts for.

 

[Mr. Jean]

Towed my racecar with it, many years ago.

 

[ralfs56]

Has to be my favorite truck of all time. Always wanted a 56 big window

Very nice looking truck you have there!

 

[Steevo]

3798j, I WANT your 55 Ford.
I was born the same year it was, and it is in better shape than I am.
That is a beautiful resto-upgrade, and exactly what I hope to someday have.
That was the perfect way to begin this thread.

That truck will forever turn more heads than the 911 ever did!!

Right turn clyde. Isn't that the same truck and color from the Clint Eastwood film with the ape?

 

[Racecarl]

Here is my 51, which is my main summer daily driver. It has a 261 bored .030, a GM 89mm ****** (overdrive), Ford 9" rear with 3.50 gears. I have disc brakes on all four corners. When the shop gets built, this will be one of the first projects, assuming I have ANY money left.

Thanks e. The truck does get some looks, but so did the 911. It wasn't a classic cause it was a Mid Year impact bumper car but it did get its share of attention from older women. I think it was the color.

 

[Dan in Pasadena]

e-tek, Just checked out your link. You're a lucky man. If your wife is a great mother, a supporter of your dreams with the racing and the garage work, then she's hotter inside than she is outside....and she' a BEAUTIFUL woman on the outside.

P.S. I love the close set headlights on the Merc. Kinda makes it look a little cross eyed, in a good way. Kinda like a cartoony character out of CARS the movie.

I do remember the movie, but can't recall the name of it or if it had this color/style truck in it though.

 

[CaliNapco]

Here is my '58 GMC Napco Burb and my '56 GMC 3 door Napco Crew Cab.. and for fun the '46 PW...

CaliNapco,,I'm looking for a crew-cab for my 1959 Chev 3800 (1 Ton) pickup. You wouldn't happen to know of any hanging around, would you?

Steevo, Thanks for the kind complement. By the way, I know what you mean shape wise. I'm a 1950 model an it's my Doc's opinion that I could use some new parts.
