PROJECT: 1955 TRUCK

Hi All,
So glad to write a few lines.
It has been a busy, busy Spring. I am now back to a full time position for the season and thankful for a regular pay check. Hooray!
Just wrapping up some of the little projects we all have and putting this, my 1955 Chevy truck, as priority one.

 Just had some trim removed and waiting to be taken apart for sanding.

Interior with modern radio and loads of miscellaneous wires!

 Radio replacement to match correct type for the era.

So... in a few weeks it should be back together. Hope you check back to see the after pictures.

Until next time,
Deb

ALWAYS A CHEVY GIRL, IT'S HOW I ROLL!

Hi All,
What does ‘Keep on Truckin’ mean to you?
It’s just a way of life - pick it up, and move forward, right? 
That phrase has another meaning that is wrapped around the feeling you get when driving a vintage truck.

Here’s mine – A 1955 Task force 



She's all original  with a few updates. and is ready for a new look.

This little truck is a 1955 2nd series. That means the model style was changed mid year.  Mine is a step side with a short bed. I've been driving her around and loving it.  Everyone has a story to share about their experiences with a 1955 Chevy. (Hope you share yours in the comment link) 

Plans for this Spring include; sanding, priming, painting, a new front window, bed repair, and the "little" things.
Mostly; just getting out there and driving!  After all, it's just too cool not to! 

Just for fun, here is Roy Rogers in a 1959 Chevy Truck ad! 


Leave a comment and tell me what color you think I should paint my truck! (It was originally dark blue with beige interior)

Until next time,
