Looks like this one’s been sitting a while! @whitey45 this is in your neighborhood I think? Doesn’t seem to be a 57 based on that frame stamp.

It was for sale a whike back for 5k. It was in a fire, so not sure how bad the sheetmetal is. The owner is not very responsive, but I will try to het some info.

That makes sense now, I was trying to figure out what the hell happened to this one. This does seem to be one of those “just get it off my property” trucks. “Complete but needs work” seems to be a pretty dishonest advertisement if it was in a fire.

unless he's got a box of parts somewhere, his claiming it's complete is dishonest too.

But that patina!! Jk

 

[Indygbd]

Kind of an odd one. Vin number suggest later model year. Frame is a 1959 or earlier. Emblems are 1959-1960.

 

[Indygbd]

Very crusty.

 

[Indygbd]

More.

Curious as to the story behind this old cruiser.

 

[whitey45]

I will know tomorrow, rumor has its been in the family a long time!

 

[Indygbd]

It has good parts on it. Front bib, fender aprons, windshield frame, 5 correct wheels, spare tire carrier, engine, transmission, transfer case, centered rear diff axle, front seat frames, ect.... That's why I bought it.

 

[whitey45]
