here is my 1937 chevy truck, 3/4 ton mil spec
the truck was used as USMC Supply truck pre-war in San Diego at Camp Elliott
and when they were done with it, my grandpa got his hands on it and drove the truck into the late 60's/early 70's
and then he had some motor problems and never got around to finishing the motor swap, and so it sat for many years
I remember playing on this truck when I was a little kid and always liked it
so sometime in the mid 90's it went from my grandparents back yard to my parents back yard
back in 2002, I removed the cab of the truck and had it sand blasted in some place in San Diego now to far from the air port, kind of down the road from mcrd and my dad applied the epoxy urethane primer
the work on this project is going to be on the slow side, I'm just coming out of right side hip labrum surgery repair, 4 weeks post op, ones I get my hips working right my work will go tons faster then what I have posted
the truck was a 6 lug but I turned it into a 5x4-3/4 bolt pattern
with some mid 50's hubs and some machined adapters to convert the bearings to smaller truck spindle
the truck on the trailer in San Diego
right across the street from Mr G's in Yuma AZ
