1949 Chevy 3600 Pick-up
This truck spent her whole life in upstate NY on a farm and when she came in she was a complete basket case and needed everything either fixed, repaired, rebuilt or replaced. We are restoring this truck back to stock.We started this restoration taking pictures but about mid way through the restoration we switched over to videos. If you scroll down past the videos you will see the picture gallery and the condition of this truck when we started the restoration.
