WIlliam Jesse's '53 Chev "Stovebolt"  1/2 ton

 

Attached a photo of my 53 Chev 5 window. It was rebuilt in 1992 in the Province of Ontario and this photo was taken last summer. The truck is now with me in Victoria BC and shares my attention with a 1949 Chevy half ton. It has a 1954 235" motor with a 3 speed column shift. Otherwise the drive train and suspension are totally stock. The entire truck was rebuilt so the frame is as nice as the body. It rides very well on radial tires. Top speed for me is about 65-70 mph but I do not drive it that fast. There are no freeways up here so I can cruise easily at 40-45 mph.
