    Where I grew up it was a "Shivvy"?

    Still the same great old truck!

    Keep her great, you are lucky to have her?

    Good luck and good smoking.

     Gotta love the old Chevy's. Here's one I'm dying to spend some time on. As far as Ive gotten so far is to ditch them uggly azz rims, tuner her up and replace the carb. 59 Apache with a healthy 327, gear drive set up and a T-5 transmission. Fun as all get out light to light. Runs out breath real quick though on the highway. I want to put a camaro front clip under her and get some disc stopping power. Another day, another project.

    Me too Gary, I know a lot of folks like the step sides, but I've always kinda taken to the fleetsides. I like that spear going down the bedside.
