With the way collector truck prices are soaring, it's hard to imagine any nice old truck isn't a good investment these days. That's definitely our take on this 1950 Chevy long-bed hauler. It's for sale at Country Classic Cars in Staunton, Ill., and while the asking price of $18,300 is not exactly couch cushion money, this truck looks like it has a lot of potential — either as a fun "drive as-is" summer truck, or as a candidate for some restoration work.

The Chevy was restored a while back, according to the listing on our Old Cars Marketplace. The color scheme is an interesting choice. We'd probably go with a different look, but this thing would look good in almost any color. The chrome is cool. The old Fulton visor is very cool! We'd love to have one of these old six-cylinder mules in our garage.

[that's the whole story, nothing more to read.]
 
That could probably be a real showpiece if someone with the time and the restoration skills gets their hands on it.

i don't think it would take much. it's had a 'restoration' some time ago, they don't say when.
but it's a really nice old truck.
 
i bet that thing is a bear to steer in a parking lot. :eek:
84, a buddy had one like it in Wyoming, where we were stationed, but beat to hell. We would pick up a military vehicle for work and I would drive his truck back to the squadron. Floor foot starter, direct steering, heater was out, no sound insulation and hitting pot holes the cab rang like a bell, 4 speed with a grannie gear. Hilarious fun to drive.
