  1. "Amazing" is well said, but bordering on almost "magical".
  2. This older post seems to indicate 1950 being a single plate year. If not, there are some additional sources for research. http://forums.aaca.org/f169/ny-license-plate-questions-218178.html and here is the NY DMV info: http://dmv.ny.gov/org/forms/mv440v.pdf
  3. That's awesome! All this technology and 'changing times' makes me feel like my kids have been cheated. Find me a time machine! Hi yo Silver, and away!
  4. I have found Jim Carter to be a good source, as well. http://www.oldchevytrucks.com/ I agree with the above statement regarding VCCA. Another 'treasure chest' is the Stovebolt Forums http://www.stovebolt.com/ubbthreads/. Best of Luck!
  5. I sent you a PM. I have quite a bit of information regarding your truck. Best. A
  6. What about Year in Bread Trucks? '57 was a pretty good year! The one in the middle will become the one on the left, in the not to distant future.
  7. Too many of my own (unfinished) treasures Dave. I am not sure my wife calls them 'treasures'...
  8. Maybe a little camping in the islands? Yes these are still used.. .
  9. I drive quite a few miles, every week, along the not-so-traveled roads of WA State. Sometimes I run across some mans treasures, other times, some mans junk. Thought I might throw a couple photos of what I ran across today... just in case it piques anyone's interest...
  10. The 'stamps' would represent every time it was taken off the bus and put on a different vehicle...If it is a part that is very rare with the possibility of not finding another, I would spend the money for FedEx and try to minimize your risk!
  11. Greyhound is the most affordable, but it does have some issues of which I became familiar with, the hard way. I had a pair of fenders sent here (Seattle area) from Ozark, MO. Things I discovered were: 1. the insurance limit on Greyhound is $300. 2. the tracking is very poor, if at all and you are pretty much at their mercy. and 3. with larger packages, they ship on a per space basis. In other words, if they stop in HoleintheWall, UT and need the space for suit cases, they will pull your fenders. Then they are 'supposed' to place them back on the next bus through. However, in my case, it took exactly 30 days for my fenders to make the trip and the Greyhound agent said he has no idea where they were or why it took so long. The box looked like it became a coffee table somewhere in the Midwest. When I sold two rear doors for a '36 panel truck to a fellow in OH, he went ahead and paid $200 (compared to $75) to ship it FedEx and put better insurance and tracking on it. Best of luck to you.
