So, it started out as a 1955 Chevy 3600 long bed ladder truck that had sat in my father’s field for 19 years. Now, it’s a 1955 Chevy 3100 with a 2008 GMC envoy frame, 4 wheel disc brakes, rack a pinion steering, 4 link rear suspension factory and a 1996 Chevy vortex V8 carbureted with a 5 speed manual transmission. The bed is from a trailer I found online, patina and paint matched perfectly. Grandsons named it Mater as soon as they saw it. It’s still a work in progress.
