'55 chevy truck

Post by PBR »

so here is my new toy! it's a '55 chevy 1/2 ton, short bed, big window. it's in decent shape, the body work was done by some bondo bandito but it looks good from 20 feet! it's lowered about 3", has an old skool 327 with th350. everything else is stock. i have been driving it to work and loving it!
