Fightin’ Femmes: Unmasking Female Superheroes with Author Mike Madrid
When I was growing up in the ’60s and ’70s, reading comics wasn't as popular as it had been in the ’40s or ’50s. But my older sister had comics, including a big collection of “Betty and Veronica.” Our parents encouraged us to read everything, so at 6 years old…

Here is our 1941 Chevrolet 3/4 ton pickup, frame up restoration of a stock rust free Montana truck. 216 3 spd. 6v electrical system. Foot switch starter or hand crank if you feel the need. bias ply tires, 50 mph top speed. This truck looks and drives like it did in 1941, not a smooth ride like today's vehicles but hey it's a time machine what would you expect.
thanks for looking.

hmm if you need any parts for it i got one identical to it - the box in my back yard unrestored tho of course
That is a beauty, how many hours of restoration?
I had a 1943 1 1/2 ton truck, that belonged to my Grandfather. I donated it in 2010 to a local Military Museum, it began it's life as a military truck, then used as a delivery truck until 1950. It was then converted for agricultural use & bought by my GF.
They plan on starting the restoration this year, I hope it looks as good as yours. The colour is pretty close, probably won't be as shiny.
I can see your reflection in picture two, now that is what I call shiny.
I love it. I learned to drive in a 39.
trubblemakr, Thanks but no parts needed here!
walksoftly, I kept no record of hours but it was many started with the bare frame on stands and assembled as parts were restored or replaced. I figured after 60 years it was time for it to go through the assembly line again. Funny you caught my reflection in the picture, I missed that. Good thing I had some clothes on. I have found myself laughing at others reflections in car door panels and clock pendulum bobs now the shoe is on the other foot!
fhrjr2, Thanks, I see you are from west Florida, we have good friends moving to Sarasota this summer.

That is one sweet truck! The color combination is awesome with that color of green. Thanks for sharing!
George, I just knew that truck would be awesome! Just waiting for you to post a picture. What a sweet toy to drive around town. Thanks for showing all of CollectorsWeekly!

nwclocks, St. Petersburg to be exact. Classic car meet every Friday night at Biff Burger. Biff's is a 1950's type burger joint that survived. 57 Chevy on the roof that you can see before you get there.
Had to laugh about having clothes on in the picture. Florida is where you need to take your pic's.
Thanks fhrjr2, I will let him know about Biff burger. Although he's not a collector he has always enjoyed going to races and car show's especially when there's good food being served.
Thanks Michael, It is a nice p/u to run to the hardware store in. I had a truck like this one back in high school but proceeded to build it into a hotrod 4" chopped top fat tires frenched in 59 caddy taillights ext. ext. so this is my second shot at one of these trucks but this time it's all stock. I here my old truck still shows up at shows in the area, I would like to see them side by side someday.

Thanks chevy59, The color is close to stock but not an exact I like things original but I'm not a fanatic. Paint is Ditzler concept base coat clear coat system.

Just one question George, where did you put the Flux Capacitor? :) That is one sweet time machine!
It's not in the truck Bruce, it.s between the ears. Isn't that where we all have a flux capacitor? Many just never no how to charge it!
George
Well Doc, you have certainly improved upon Brown's original design. You don't have to reach 88 mph to make the jump! :)
had to 88 mph is out of the question with this old truck unless you run it off a cliff!
Thanks blair!
thanks Love.anything.old
Thanks ttomtucker, I guess were pretty much neighbors, Poulsbo!
George
That sure is a honey of a truck! Do you take it to any shows? It would be a sure winner and I like the fact it is stock. When you rebuilt the engine did you have to re-babbit the connecting rods? I can't tell if it has the artilery wheels which were optional but quite rare.
Thats one great "stovebolt" !
Thanks wideback1, never taken it to a show, I just use it for running errands in the summer. I used n.o.s. GM war surplus connecting rods, crank and pistons when rebuilding the engine along with other smaller parts. so no re-babbiting needed. yes it does have the optional artillery wheels, even the spare. the grill guard is a 3/4 ton option also as it has a heavy strap that goes from the bottom of the guard to the frame cross member, it was made to use!
Beautiful! Reminds me of my dad's first pick up, it was a '46 Chev
Thanks for sharing the great photos!
That's the most beautiful truck i've ever seen!
Thanks buick55 & jimborasco for the kind words

Think back to when I was going to aviation school. I was working also at a flight service for a guy who had no problem with money but driving one of these. We would kid him about it until he came back with, "If I had a new Mercedes, it would take me to work & then take me home. That's exactly what my old truck does". That shut us up!
By the way, I drive an '88 Mazda that I keep in really good condition & as a pre-computerized job, I can work on it without having to get somebody with an analyzer. Only thing that left me stranded was the electronic ignition.
Have people waiting in line to buy it but they will have to wait till I die!
Beautiful. Thats all that can be said. Job well done.
Thank you adirondackantique
