For a near "original" type shiny rebuild, sure wish the seller had paid better attention to major details. Half ton 51/52 cab with 48-50 F-2/6 front fenders. Somebody's gonna buy it and get a rude awakening. Stu

That explains how GM went bankrupt, they're trying to sell someone else's 15 year old designs. In their defense, it does appear to have a chevrolet bed on it. (among the many other things wrong with it)

Wayne, you're too picky... You think the rear wheels should be centered in the fender openings? Sheesh!

That's what makes it a Chevy.

OK Ed, How did you find this truck???? Are you stepping out on us.

Stu, would you mind educating me? How do you tell this is a 51/52 cab instead of a 48/50?

Joe, the rear wheels are pushed forward so the truck can go faster. Duh, didn't you know that?

I wonder what it went for?

I am not a Chevy expert, but I don't even think that there was such a thing as an S15 in 1965. Regardless of all its faults, that is still the best looking Chevy truck that I have seen.

I think the S15 was a GMC... but I could be wrong.

S15 is the Auction Lot number for that truck.

It is interesting to know you can classy up a chevy by putting Ford tailgate and fenders on it.
