*** What the Truck?!
From Larry Bearfield of Ferns Country Store in Carlisle, Mass. (Ferns is the official country store of the JOTW Network.):
To my Friends & Fernites from Afah!
You may have read that about a month ago, “Lucille” my 1956 Chevy pickup truck was crashed into. I was stopped at a stop sign and a young lady taking a turn got a Frisbee caught in her steering wheel and ran into me. Ya just can’t make this stuff up.
I’ve settled with the insurance company and in looking at the damage it’s apparent that it would cost too much to fix my old truck. So, sadly, I need to replace Lucille.
So I’m reaching out wherever I can… I’m looking for a 55 1/2 or 56 Chevy pickup 3100 (the 55 1/2 was a model change and is the same as a 56)….. I’d like something relatively stock – meaning not a hotrod or show truck. I use my truck daily year-round. If something needs just a little bit of work that’s OK. I prefer 6cyl, 4 speed on floor. Something from AZ, FL, TX would be best… the lands of where rot and rust doesn’t grow easily… I want solid a body and good mechanicals or mechanicals that need a little tlc. Shipping is not a problem.
If you could do some scouting around your area or if you know someone in the south/southwest I’d greatly appreciate it. Often times, vehicles like these come up locally but are off of the national radar screen. Feel free to pass along my email address and/or cell number 617.584.5001.
Thanks for your help!
Larry
P.S. Here’s Lucille so you can get an idea of what I’m looking for: http://fernscountrystore.com/fun/ferns-fotos/lucille-the-ferns-wondertruck/
