1948 Chevy Loadmaster 2-ton
« on: November 03, 2014, 02:55:26 PM »
Found this gem in Nebraska.  I think I'm in love.  Or just stupid.

1948 Chevrolet Loadmaster, 16000 lbs, 235 ci, 3 spd trans, 2 spd rear

Steel is unbelievably 100% (who'da thunk in NE?).  Everything else, not-so-much.  Been sitting for ~30 years.  Needs some things.  Well, everything.

Plan is to return in the spring and retrieve.

LOVE IT.

Want one like that, or an F3, or best, a Diamond T.

Fell in love with this earlier today

That's part of the plan.  Hauler and tow pig.

Haven't decided on the method of execution yet.  Not sure how much "character" I want to leave in place and revive.  Sheet metal remains as-is.  The rest is up for discussion.

Find a rolled over late-model. Body swap. Lots of dynomat. Resto-mod all the way.
