Re: Skunkswifes 55 chevy
In the other thread you said that you spent $600 for it and then had the owner bag it and get it running. Was that still part of the $600? How long ago was 14? Just trying to get an idea of how long it sat in the field

Re: Skunkswifes 55 chevy
Neet looking truck. Any more pictures?
That truck looks like a good candidate for a CLR scrub and wash. I bet there is still some paint under there.
