She didn't want to go down the hill backwards - so She held on! Amost Lost Her!

Nice find, I did not know you were a gear head too? Is the air in the tires original too? She is in nice shape, should be a fun project!

| Allan, the metal looks to be in very good condition, ie no rust. That looks like a neat project and yes my wife would be looking the same if I brought that home. Good luck and let's see some more pictures as the project comes along. Eric

Allen the dogs will be proud to ride in her to the Grouse coverts in a couple of seasons when she is restored to prime condition.
A nice old truck, a faithfull companion, a Parker and a crisp fall day.....priceless .

Judging by the top edge of the name plate, it looks like you might have some bullet holes to deal with. Was it used as a getaway car?
Seriously, that's a great find! That should keep you out of trouble for a few years. Dean

| Well gang ---I have been told that it is a 1932---it has always been in the same family ,the father died and left it to his son 36 year ago , the son never drove it and parked it in the ol' family barn . I purchased it from the son . I intend to restore the ol' gal from the frame up ! There is only surface rust , the body & fenders are all sound & it's all there. It is going to be a project far away from my wood working skills . Allan

Nice find Allan but old car restoration can be as addictive as Parker shotguns and takes a lot of money, time and energy. I spent 20 years fooling with a well used 1931 Ford Model A rumble seat coupe; finally got burned out but sold it at a nice profit. I'll sell you some body tools, air compressor and paint spray outfit -- cheap. I may even have some old Bondo left but it may be dried up. As I recall, modern detergent oil was not reccommended in those old engines. I have a few quarts of 30W Quaker State I'll send you if you can't find any. You can probably find NOS or repro parts for the Chevy. Good luck with it and I bet Jean will love it when you get it restored. And don't you go "hot-rodding" it and painting flames on the hood. Mud flaps would be OK, even with some jewels on them.

| If the ID plate has a BA it is a 1931 and if it has BB it is 1932. The 12 preceeding that is for the Buffalo plant. Last edited on Fri Jun 27th, 2008 07:07 pm by Dean Romig

| A little 4 cyl engine, surely it will get better mileage than your Suburban but it seems like a drastic move.

| Bruce, now that you brought up Suburbans, I could get mine back, real cheap, and give Allan the 454 and TH700E for his little pickup. It ought to make it move pretty well. Last edited on Fri Jun 27th, 2008 07:51 pm by Bill Murphy

You'll be like The President of the Old Duck Hunters errrr Grouse Hunters, you've bought the perfect automobile. Hopefully it doesn't quit on you after a day of fishing and get stolen.

Allen, great find! Enjoy the project. I know you'll do her proud! Jean will come around once she gets some grease under her fingernails.

| Here's something for the back window of the truck. It's not a Parker but it sure is a sweet little thing. A Steven-Maynard Jr. in .22 cal. Smallest rifle I've ever seen... Attached Image (viewed 1179 times):

I had a chance to buy a similar truck several years ago, always kind of wanted someting like that for close to home hunting expeditions myself. The problem for me was that those cabs are made for folks who were a lot smaller than myself. The distance between the wheel and the back of the seat is about half what I'd need and the legroom for the pedals wasn't hardly long enough either.
