i would like to have all three of the vechicles setting out in the field rotting away
The GMC V-8 trucks in those years used a Pontiac engine and transmission. They had valve covers that read GMC but were Pontiac engines. The bigger trucks and school buses used Buick "nail head" engines with 4 speed truck transmissions.
What a set of Chevy trucks. Panel is my favorite. It is either a second series 54 or first series 55. They had open drive-lines. The older had closed drive-lines. This was also the first Chevy truck that you could buy with a V-8. You could even get them with V-8 Automatic transmission. Chevy used the Oldsmobile Hydromitic 4 speed transmission. They made and adapter for the Chevy bolt pattern to the Hydromatic bolt pattern. That is what B&M Hydro used for building the original B&M Racing Hydromatic Transmission. It was the hot item back in the fifties and sixties.
Another way to tell them apart is even if the wind shield and grill are gone the hood emblem on a 54 and early 55 is like a late 55 and 56. In 57 it gets flipped over.second 55,56,and 57 are really good looking allso IMO.54 got a insert motor and no more babbit rods.These trucks do not look like junked ones.
I like them all but the panel would be my pick.Really I like the 47-53 grills better better than 54 and early 55.I think early 55 still hung on to six volt while the the chevy cars got 12 volt.Second series 55 trucks got 12 volt.Ford did not come with 12 volt till 1956.
Notice that the panel has a one piece windshield. That makes it a 54 or first series 55. It's hard to me to look at these pics. I want them all. I love trucks.
what year is that panel? I really like that grill style.
I wonder if they run?
SOMEONE! PLEASE SAVE THEM!!!!
Panelguy needs to see these beauties!
that one one the right is really nice
Please put these oldies back on the road, and maybe for extra throw a Hemi in the panel!
