   -> I've been thinking about you ever since I moved to Texas. That is, ev   
   -> 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 requesti   
   -> the whereabouts of one of these for a project you had, a long time   
   -> ago.   
      
   I had some early Chevy trucks.  One I got from a brother in law, but I   
   sold it.  The other was a '47 1.5 ton.  Just the cab.  I put it on a   
   mid-80's shortened school bus chassis to make a plow truck for my   
   driveway.  Ended up selling it.  My neighbor does plowing and it's worth   
   just paying him.   
      
   -> 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.   
      
   Older Chevy trucks are fun projects.   I wish I'd taken pictures back   
   then.   Some of the cars I had would be classics today.  A 1960   
   Thunderbird convertible that was a factory standard shift, for example.   
   Three speed on the column.  Never saw another anywhere.  Bought from one   
   of my college instructors around 1969.  Sold it not too much later and   
   kicked myself as it was driven away.

   And I'm always happy to see other people's projects.
