Chevi was my father's favourite. Today, he has five chevis in his garage as well. One bad thing is that it was crashed many times. I remember, recently, it was crashed, but repaired by Kenduf Motors- Crash repair.
The thing that I like the most about these old pick-ups is their utility. Low bed sides and tailgate make freight hauling easy. Straight six engine sips gas and easy to repair or at least diagnose. I truly believe that we as Americans have completely gotten away from this basic premise of what a truck should do, be and look like. I'd be willing to put money on this- a Chevy Colorado parked next to this is probably bigger.
The car companies are more concerned with a vehicle they can put a large overhead fee on - the bigger, the better. If only the small trucks would come back to this country.
Best of OPC.

Yep, first commenter is defo a spambot.
Man, it seems that late 40's-early 50's Ford/Chevy pickups are king of patina.
