Hot Rod Purple Pickup



31 Chevy pickup that I built 4 years ago and have driven it 36,000 miles since then. I drove it to California in '99 and went on the Hot Rod Magazine Power Tour West which started in San Bernardino and ended up in Nashville. All together, I drove about 5500 miles. I'm just getting started building a 31 Chevy Sedan. I needed more room, the pickup gets a little cramped on long trips--besides, I love working on a project.

This was my 52nd birthday present to myself. No rust - ever. Its from Texas/New Mexico/Arizona. Engine & Trans is a fresh 429/C6. Needs interior, side glass, driveshaft, wiring, & who knows what else. All the stainless is there and in pretty good shape with some extra pieces. Rechromed bumpers, new glass & seals front and rear. I don't know what came over me....I guess I'm just a sucker for a nice firm body. I needed another project like I need a hole in the head.


I need these pieces of stainless trim. The ones that came with the car have dents in them. I've gotten all the rest of the pieces from a local junkyard that has a bunch of 50's cars in it for $5 & $10 per piece. At that price its cheaper and easier to replace it than straighten it. But I couldn't find these pieces. If anyone knows where I can get these, would you please email me. I sure would appreciate it.
