This is my 1951 Chevy pick-up truck. It was purchased in 1953 by my Grandfather who used it as a ranch truck, occasionally driving it into town for supplies. He had the original 216 engine rebuilt later in his life when the truck’s odometer was at about 92,000 miles. He put approximately 4,000 miles on the engine before parking the truck due to his declining health and inability to drive. I have many memories of riding in this truck as a young boy; in fact it was the first car I ever drove, though it was in a field at the time. After my Grandfather passed away, the truck sat for 22 years when my Dad got it running for me in June, 2007. Unfortunately the 216 overheated last summer and we replaced it with a 235. Driving this truck, which is a small piece of our family’s history, reminds me of the days I used to work on the ranch with my Grandfather. I still have some of his belongings in the glove box. Hope you enjoy the video.
