Got her home!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Got it in my possession today! Grinning ear to ear. It’s going to need lots of work to the body with rust through bottom of rear fenders, inner and outer rockers, cab supports, cab corners, etc. But, it really hasn’t been touched. All wiring in tact, signals, break lights, reverse lights, all works. Heater fan, everything. I’m just so impressed. The stamp # is from my transmission.

That looks like a good starter up here in Saskatoon. Lots of potential.

Excellent - may hit you up for questions, parts, etc. Would you just order new fenderside fenders or try patch these rear fenders yourself? I’m thinking for the time and energy we may be best to just replace.

Hi, another Saskatoon guy here. Is that a Canadian truck and where did you find it.

Others have probably chimed in or perhaps you know already, but to the best of my knowledge the fenders with the spare tire cutouts are not reproduced by anyone. I know because I have been looking for one. Definitely one to hold on to and repair if possible.

Some people don't like that look mind you, and that's fine, but it has grown upon me.

For the love of ALL THINGS GM.......... DON’T put any replacement fenders on this truck. Patch panels at the most!

Congratulations

Nice! Congratulations!

slikside · 02-16-2021, 12:46 PM

Congrats! That is quite the find, especially up your way.

It's great she won't just be sit'n anymore, but get'n dolled up like she should be!

**StingRay** · 02-16-2021, 11:56 PM

I just saw this in person. It's a great start to a really sweet truck. Ryan is a bit overwelmed with the thought of taking on the rust repairs. I've started out on so many cars and trucks that ended up being breathing life into what should have been a basket case. This one is anything but.

Ptjsk · 02-17-2021, 12:20 AM

Now the fun begins!!

Hey Ray - overwhelmed is an understatement ha! Thanks a TON for taking time out of your evening and driving to have a look. Your time and advice are invaluable.
