Kevin found this Pickup in some old mans pecan orchard. It is
an all original '49 Chevy Pickup. Straight six, 3 speed on the
column. Very good condition for the price, $1100. |
|
|
|
|
This is me cleaning it up right after we brought it home. |
|
|
This is the motor. It was frozen stiff when we got it.
But after a couple cans of oil and a little persuasion, it broke
loose. Runs great now. |
|
|
|
|
Kevin took the truck with him to Fort Worth when he moved
there in January. He is now getting serious about restoring it. |
|
|
Here is a pic of the stripped cab.

Here is a front end shot. With grill and bumper removed.

Here is Kevin (Homealone) getting picture crazy. The '49 in the
background. |
|
|
|
|
Here the truck is completely stripped. |
|
|
Kevin finally has a garage to work in. So he wanted to show it
off. |
|
|
|
|
This is the interior without the carpeting and seat.
|
|
|
Off to a good start. Kevin's taken off the fenders, hood, and
grill. |
|
|
|
|
Here it is with the doors off. |

Kevin got his hands on a soda
blaster. |
|
|
Quick and easy removal of the
old paint. |
|
|
|
|
As Kevin says, "Sodium
bicarbonate is good." |
|
|
He's going to have lots of fun
with this.

Kevin's friend. |
