sounds like maybe a 46'ish or so

 

oh crap...that's harder than i thought. LOL did a quick google search and holy moly.

I just looked at all between '49 to '60. I don't think it's a '56 but that's the closet style that it looks like. It definitely isn't closer to the '60's and it isn't the '49 or '50. I'll get a pic. I think it's a damn nice looking truck. He never drives it or even takes it to shows. Not i think it is show worthy. But I've seen him start it up and drive it around the block to park it a different way. He's a weird guy, hardly talks. I'll get some snap shots of it.

 

the late 40's windshields seem too sloped in the googled pics.


wilde...bite your tongue soon to be father boy!!!

 

ebay works great for finding out years of trucks fwiw.

 

whoo hooo finally a place where us old guys with old trucks want get picked on. I think that I can acutally talk about my (gasp) carburator

 

haha
what kind of numbers is your carb'd stroker putting out?

 

47-early 54 look extreamly close. Early 54 has a 1 piece winshieald where 47-53 have a 2 piece. Late 54 and 55 had a slightly different grill (not sure if the fenders work either) but the rest if the truck is the same.

56-57 were single head light grill similar 58-59 dual headlight completly different grill.

60-61 had a double bubble hood

62-63 same (curved windshield) different grills

64-66 Same (even same grills)




This is a great place to look at things.. http://www.oldchevytruck.com/chevytrucksforsale/

 

Thankyou!

 

This is great! I'm actually doing a 5.3L engine swap into my chevy and this site has some great info for that. Can't wait to get it in and see how she runs with EFI and an overdrive tranny!
