1953 Chevrolet truck.







 
The truck belongs to Frank Ohlin and I've seen it parked next to a GMC truck of the same era which he owns, and which has been posted a couple of times on AL. The Chevrolet is mostly original. We like trucks that are being driven, as this one is. Trailer Queens are kinda boring. Frank told me that in '53 these trucks got the pop-up vent in front of the windshield, the push-button door handles, and--oh yeah, painted (instead of chromed) grills--chrome shortage due to Korean war.
