My favorites are 60-66's, but 55-59's are a close second. I had to share these with ya'll. Saw them at car shows in Denver on 08-28 & 8-29.

My Grandfather's old '58 3/4 ton. Been in the family since he bought it new but sitting here for over 10 years. It was just handed down to me. We'll make the 1400 mile round trip to retrieve it this Fall.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
 
I still have it, Thats going to be my daily driver when I put a new engine in the truck and when I get the truck back up and running I will put the engine that came out of the truck into the camaro. I'm playng engine swap.

There is a better picture of the camaro in this thread.

What's the wheel/tire size(s) of this truck. The spinner kit for them would look sweet on it. Nice truck!!

Boss 338 wheels, manufacturer say they wont fit this truck, i like proving them wrong, 18 x 9 1/2 on the front and rear w/a 1 1/4" spacer.........front tires are 285 35 18, rears are 295 35 18........no rub no where, lock to lock and drive it like you stole it. One dealer i met in springfield, ohio this summer said he wouldnt have believed it if he hadnt seen it, he actually took snap shots for his future references.........gota love these old trucks!!!!!
