i bought a '54 panel 1/2 ton in high school....back in 1976. it was the greatest. Even used it as a hotel for awhile. Paid $250 cash, a 22 long rifle and a Sekai 10 speed bike. i drove it till i got married, then it just sat. Just sold it in about 2007 for parts. Loved that ole 235 engine. Good rigs! Fun to drive. Even if they were only 6 volts instead of 12.
Stef, In 1928 plymouth boasted its 6cyl flathead engine would get 25mpg in a four door sedan. this vehicle probibly got in the neigborhood of 16-19 i'd imagine new.
i like the fender accents, kinda art deco. i've been a chevy guy my whole life, my dad too.

Good video, but I would think there's be more to the story than just 2:32 worth.
you can be sure of it...I hate when people use put up part of something... You're not limited anymore on TH-cam..
i dont know why chevy didnt use fuel injection and double OHC on this truck, it would have given it better power and mpg.
Because they didn’t know about that in the early 50s perhaps.
Back when Official American test really meant somthing.
Is that the model you like Mr?
" huh who said that! Damn I got to quit smoking soo much weed."
@stef1652 why would that matter gas was 50c a litre
Because wages were 85 cents an hour back then.
