Post My 1956 "Smurfette"

Hi my name is Guillermo Miranda and I am from the México, since I had 18 dreamed someday having a Chevy Truck, finally last august my wife and I were able to acquire one in acceptable conditions, because here in México are very hard to find. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/i...lies/chevy.gif

Re: My 1956 "Smurfette"

Welcome Guillermo! What a nice looking truck you have! I love that color of truck too!
kind of hard to tell from the pics, but what is wrong with the front glass? cracked? nevermind, I saw the cracks~
You'll love this site, and please post lots of pics! We love pics, you might want to try photobucket.com for uploading photos, there are probably other servers for pics as well. Had to google where your town is, I don't get out much! lol ; )

We find here in México City a dealer that has the door glass and the windshield glass, so I go with my father in law.

Re: My 1956 "Smurfette"

Me gusta la troka Guillermo. Bienvenido a este foro. Deveras que te va a gustar. If you need any help locating parts let me know and i can arrange shipping to Mexico. Some of the camiones around here will haul stuff down there.

Yo naci en la Capital pero desgraciadamente no regresado en 27 anos.

Re: My 1956 "Smurfette"

OMG! that looks great! I get my new front windshield installed tomorrow! I'm excited for you and me! ; ) gee, you had your side glass put in quickly!
so, what do you do about the doors? replace them? Darned old trucks, as fun as they are, eat up money and time quickly!

btw, what's under the hood? engine?

welcome.
Looks like a decent truck although you do have a little work to do on the doors.
