I’m a retired aerospace engineer living in Redding, CA. I retired after working 39 years for a variety of defense industries. My passion is, of course cars. My last three projects included a replica of a 1965 427 Shelby Cobra with a 429/503 BBF, then a 1965 Ford GT40 Mark 1 reminiscent of the original 1051P, and finally a near perfect replication of CSX2323, a 1964 Shelby Cobra FIA. Now I have a new project; a 1954 Chevy 3 window short bed pickup. This is a new arena for me so I’ll likely be asking a lot of questions. Cheers Bill Last edited by Grumpy_Gramps; 01/27/23 08:06 PM.

My first project was a 1951 GMC 1 ton and it is still a lot of fun to drive! I hope that you enjoy the journey. Last edited by old216; 01/27/23 07:59 PM. My 1951 1 Ton is now on the road! My 38 Master 4 Door is also now on the road .

I encourage you to join VCCA so you can get to know other Chevy collectors in your area. As a point of reference, that truck has what is typically referred to as a 5 window cab. Rusty VCCA #44680
