I just horse traded my allis chalmers B for this 51 Chevy 1 ton.

 

Ya but you have a ford tractor next to it so your good to go. Besides all old stuff is neat even some of us.

 

Well, if this helps. I had to use the ford tractor to drag it home and.jump start the chevy!

 

It is a cool looking truck, just put some Ford emblems on it...

 

When I first joined this forum, I thought the "Darkside" meant a Ford truck with a Chevy engine, for example. But then I was told it meant any kind of modification beyond stock, whether it's with Ford, Chevy, Dodge, etc. parts. So I just gave up trying to understand the word. IMO, this truck is not a Darksider. It's just a nice old Chevy truck. Enjoy it.

 

Great old truck!!
Looks to be in good condition

Basically one dent above right headline. Rust free. Hasn't run in 10 years but I got it started last nite.

 

I don't know what put that dent in the right fender but based on my past experience with these trucks you better bring a BFH if you plan to beat it out. Those old Chevys have some thick metal in their skin.

 

That's a good looking old truck! A couple of guys here where I live have 1/2 ton Chevys about that vintage. They went to the dark side and installed Ford engines in them. Drives all the Chevy guys nuts at car shows.

Nice truck and in nice shape..

 

I agree with Doc. Darkside means a modification to a stock truck. That Chevy looks pretty stock to me. Is it a dump truck?

 

it has a hoist on it. I am going to take them sides off and rebuild the deck and re place the sideboards a little differantly. The truck is straight, needs some attention after sitting so many years.. The dent wont be too hard an issue.

 

Do you have a close up shot of that hood ornament..?

 

No I don't. I am pretty sure it is not original

 

I didn't think it was original just curious what it looked like. Any time I come across an old car or truck there is often times evidence of one but long gone..
