Slow-Touring - Kelle's 1954 Chevy Shop Truck

[oestek]

And now for something completely different...

Kelle's been building a '54 Chevy shop truck... just a low-buck farm truck to haul parts around and food for her animals. The mission was to tune up the 235 inline 6, upgrade the safety items - brakes, wiring, bumpers, etc., and to do a couple cool mods like painted steelies and a Mexican blanket interior. It came out pretty slick, and now we can't get her out of it! Call it "Slow-Touring!"

Very cool. Think how it'd look bagged and sitting on the dirt though.....

It would look sweet, but it's still an old solid-axle work truck... still has to haul lots of stuff around, and we've got several other projects to finish... but you're right, it's a killer canvas to start with!

I just bought a 64 C10 5 weeks ago and love those old trucks.

but it's still an old solid-axle work truckVery Cool. My '62 Hasn't seen paint in a few decades and the tailgate has never been repainted. I love keeping it as parts hauler/going to the dump vehicle. Wife hates patina so I keep it covered and out of sight.

Yeah... duck food, cat food, dog food, wood chips, straw bailes, rabbit food, hay... and the occasional car part!
