I love shopping for Xmas Trees! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Frizzle Fry · 12-08-2008, 04:20 AM

Because I always seem to run across stuff like this. I pulled up in the 64 and spotted this immediately. I asked the tree farm owner about it and he said it was his cousin's and had been sitting there "God knows how long..." What a sweet little shop truck this would make! Of course I had to ask when I was paying for the tree "how much extra for the truck?" He took my number and said he'd give it to his cousin. I don't expect a call... But I got pics. Didn't pop the hood. I thought opening the door was nosey enough. Enjoy...

thirdstreettito · 12-08-2008, 09:13 AM

That would make a sweet little shop truck.... I hope they call back!

"Honey, look what Santa brought us...!"

SWEET !!!! An extra radiator cap and ash-tray too !!!!!

Looks like they changed it over to a 4-speed at one time....that thing would make a sweet shop truck.....

What an understanding wife you must have Frizzle !!

Bought a christmas tree and threw in a truck...what a deal. Let us know if you get it.

I am amazed at how straight it looks, around these parts most people used them for all they could.

Actually I had a not-so-understanding wife who became an ex right before I built the Tahoe. Explains things, huh?

Now I have an extremely understanding girlfriend

Wow I hope you can get that one......nice Custom Cab truck. It's not very often you find one that has an unmolested dash. Looks like all the knobs are there....even the radio knobs!

Frizzle Fry · 12-09-2008, 12:24 PM

Yeah, I was amazed about the dash too. And all the other trim as well. It has the typical floor/kick rust, but I love the look of the patina on the exterior with the trim intact. I don't think I'll hear from them, but I know where I'll get my tree next year

Perhaps I can chip away at them once a year until it ends up at my shop

Frizzle Fry · 12-09-2008, 01:09 PM

I'm pretty sure they were actually wire hub caps
