The two tone Burgundy Chevy is a 1953 1/2 Ton 5 Window he owned for  8 yrs.  We installed a 270 CID 6 Cylinder, Turbo 350 Transmission, 12 bolt posi and converted it over to 12 volts. He sold it right after this picture was taken to a 18 year old College Student.  She drives the truck every where and get some great gas mileage with the 3:08 gears in the rear end.

The Green Truck is a 1948 GMC 5 Window my father and I build the previous summer.  I had a Camaro sub frame ready to go into it but he wanted to stay with the straight axle?  It cost me more to buy him the Mono Leaf springs then it would have cost me to install the sub frame.

The GMC was built to be a driver as are all his trucks but this time he selected something unusual for motivating the truck around town.  He chose a V-6, Automatic Over-Drive, 12 bolt posi, mono leaf front suspension, and a 12 Volt electrical system.  It was a nice change to install a V-6 instead of V-8's and have all that room to work with.  He gave the GMC to my 13 year old nephew soon after the picture was taken.
