We moved from Illinois to Tennessee in August 1995. I owned a 1954 Chevy pickup truck that we were in the process of restoring at the time. I had really wanted a 53 or older because of the grill but couldn't find one and then found the 54. Which Brian said we could get a grill from an older truck and replace what they call the bull nose on the 54. We had found and bought one. We were not able to bring the truck with us to Tennessee and it was left behind. We have looked for years for one to replace it but to no avail, until this week. Brian brought home the title to it last night when he returned from helping his friend. It seems this man had this truck for the past 20 years and never finished it. His wife wanted it gone. The man was going to trade Brian the truck for Brian's 60 something Olds that he has been puttering with. Brian ended up getting it for nothing because the man's wife told him that he wasn't bringing another one home to sit there like the truck had sat there. I just can't believe it, finally I have an actual 1953 Chevy Pickup truck. It is going to take work of course but it is in very good shape for the year and I have seen some rusted right into the ground. I can't get over how good a shape it is, I'm just so excited!! :)
