*New With 49 5 Window truck* - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My wife and I recently sold our 37 Ford Truck and we now have a 49 Chevy 5 window. We decided to move from an Old School Hot Rod to more of a Classic Cruiser. Just picked this up about a week ago so still checking things out.

Welcome to the site my friend. As a fellow 49 owner myself, I must say yours is awful pretty.

Can you share some details?

Welcome to the forum. That's a very nice pickup you've got. I've been going to the Frog Follies for a lot of years, that is until I got my 68 Chevy SWB, too new for the pre 48 rule.

Thanks. My wife and I just recently sold our 1937 pickup that we use to take to the Frog Follies. If you don't see it there it probable does not exist.

looks nice

Zippi · 11-26-2019, 08:34 PM

Thanks guys. Yeah....when I made the change from Ford to Chevy I wanted to make sure whatever truck I got between 47-53 was a 5 window. Not only do they look bad ass you get a much better view looking out the back.
