   Sounds like a winner.   
      
   I've been thinking about you ever since I moved to Texas. That is, every   
   time I drive by this old Chevy truck. It's a 48-52 (center windshield   
   post) and is of the large variety, aka 1 ton. I remember you requesting   
   the whereabouts of one of these for a project you had, a long time ago.   
      
   The guy who owns it did some welding for me on a 56 Chevy project a few   
   years ago, which is when I noticed this truck.

   My browser isn't running at the moment, but I promise I'll take a look at   
   your project pictures.
