We dig 50’s Chevy pickups in general, but the mid to late “big” trucks are just too sexy not to drool over. Make it a big window truck and it’s definitely worth some money and super killer once built. But most of the time they are done up as clean street trucks, restorations, or are built street rod style. Occasionally you find one that is back halved, but it’s not all that usual to see one that is built to be a gasser. And we totally approve! This particular beast is for sale here in SoCal and the asking price is $22,500. Seems like a pretty fair price considering just how straight this thing appears to be, and all the parts and fabrication that has gone into making it what it is.
And what it is is awesome! With a .030 over 396, a Muncie, tons of go fast and cool parts, including the requisite giant ladder bars out back. We want this thing!

Yet another shit Chevy and yet another “Please kill me!” car.
What is it with these bow tie freaks – they continually ruin their cars and I think they secretly hate them and therefore torture them and end up with creations like this…
you don’t understand a gasser truck plain and simple
Cool truck, the engine looks like it came out of the ’55 Chevy in Two Lane Blacktop.
I’d take the riser blocks out of the front axles and paint it. Then it may be worth the $22K there asking.
No it doesn’t.
