Silly Question about Old Navy

So, i know they are Chevy's but where in the world does Old Navy get all of their old trucks? I dont know if you have noticed or not but every store has an old blue chevy (48-52 i believe??).

some of these trucks are actually in great condition.. oh well, i guess it isnt that hard, but man, i wish one of these stores went out of business (which they wont) and i could pick up the truck for cheap

They've a Company that goes out & finds them for them & Cleans them up before they are installed in the stores.

I've got one of their tee shirts with the blue truck on it. Nice shirt; too bad it's not a F1.

When my wife goes to Old Navy I go and look at the Old Truck. I do like it when she goes to a new Old Navy store so I can see a different truck. Some of them are GMC trucks with Chevy badging on the hood. They say General Motors on the dash.

I also have my share of Old Navy Trusk shirts.

I like the way they fix them up to look old. Like the retro look.

Hmmm...I don't think I have ever been in an old navy store. There is one a few hours from here in a mall in Missouri. Guess I will have to go into the mall the next time I am up in MO. It won't be top buy stuff, but to see the truck. :P

There's a BBQ restaurant near me that has a late 30's couple ton International flatbead that is used as the salad and drink bar. It seems like its geting popular to have an old truck in your business.

Its probably a good thing that they are not old Fords. Can you imagine trying to explain to mall security why you are removing fender bolts, bumper, vent window, or any other small part......

Since so many of you are wearing their stuff I guess I shouldn't try to blame it on the Yuppies.

If there was a Chevy that I would ever own it would be that style.. I'm not a fan of Chevy, but that one looks nice :P

I didn't know those were real trucks, I thought they were fiberglass remakes, just for show.

Just curious, do the Chevys of that era have the parts availability of the F100s?

That would be a cool job Col. Where do I sign up?

The truck in my local Old Navy has A LOT of bondo in it. I looked in the wheel well one day and the fender was about an inch thick.

Gman,
They sure do. I think all the sheet metal is available in steel and glass, and BeBop's does a cab of that era also.

In my area, when I go to swap meets, I have to walk past 15 Chevy truck vendors to find one guy with Ford truck parts.

There used to be an eating place in Ft Worth with a 50's theme that had a '55 Chevy station wagon with the roof removed and the interior was a stainless salad bar car. Pretty cool, but they went our of business. Headlights and taillights flashed to the music, if I remember correctly.
