Thread: 1948 Chevy Stylemaster...(Large Dents) Fixable?

sounds like the '48 would be cool and unique, but I think the truck would be easier/cheaper finding parts for and probably cooler to cruise around in as an 18 y/o. the original question though i guess was is the '48 repairable and from the description it sounds like the answer is yes. able to be done by you though is probably a more difficult question. it sounds like your grandfather would be willing to hang on to the '48 for you once you pull it out. maybe store the '48 for later on and save the truck now. i would say you can't go wrong tinkering with either one though whatever you decide...

Yes, my thoughts exactly. Pull the 48 out and store it, and then get the truck and start on it... Plus, all the trucks my great grandfather had out at my unlces house are complete. Wouldn't take just a whole lot to maybe get one driving. Whether I get the truck or not, it will have to sit at my grandpas house. (our garage is full right now because he got a 70 VW beetle baja project car, and my mom would die if i put it in our driveway) my grandpa lives out in the country, and he would be more than happy to let me keep it there. The only problem with that is he lives 2 hours away from me. I guess I could drive down there and work on it, and bring parts back to work on them. I dont know, it wouldnt be bad just to have an excuse to go see them every couple weeks. Zak.

Zak sounds like a win win. Spending some quality time with your Grandpa is well worth the two hour drive, and something you always cherise later in life. Sounds like you've got determination and skill so go forit. Like the others said get the car and work when you can on it, bring a truck home for a closer project. Those should keep yah busy!

Where you been, Zak?

Did you ever get your 216/235 dilemma sorted out?

Haha, sorry for being so ignorant. I want a 350 in it. For all the work it would take, I might as well make it something thats worth it. Lol. Zak.

Yeah, I would like that time. Well, I talked to my mom, and I have bad news. Turns out, my moms uncle sold all of my great grandfathers trucks recently... This is ridiculous. I was promised one... Im furious. They are so greedy...
