55 chases and engine, 71 Chevy cap and some internal front end. Some local loggers built it for a skidded and traded my grandfather some welding projects for it. The box was built with 3/8 flat stock and had boxes built right into the old flair sides. Road on square military 17s and when you locked down into 4 low she would crawl. Grampa told me if I could get it running I could drive it. Learned a lot fixing that thing.

My first truck. A 1972 Chevrolet shift on the column. It was blue but the top of cab was white. I had the same year and color truck. Mine was a short bed 4x4. three on the tree, no power steering or power brakes. It would ride like a log wagon, but I sure wish I had it now

I would like my 57 Chevy Nomad. It had a 350hp. 327. A three speed stick (I would change that to a 5 speed).
The body was in great shape.
