Works in Progress

This is a very informative section for those that enjoy hands-on re-building and find interest in the work that goes into a full ground-up restoration. Pictures will usually show the vehicle prior to disassembly and then various views of the rebuilding procedure. Sometimes, if the truck is being currently rebuilt, we will add pictures to show the progress. We hope this will give those encouragement that are in our will be involved in the restoration process. Maybe it will just provide fun memories of when you were in a major rebuilding. All we need is a few paragraphs about your experience, along with color photos of your truck.

  2. 1936 Chevrolet Open Express

    Just imagine a truck designed strictly for work duties that has survived almost 70 years! In 1936, our country was still feeling the effects of the "Great Depression". When you spent your money for a 1 1/2 ton truck, it had to pay it's way. Therefore, few big trucks like this 1936 have survived. They were worked from the first day of delivery!
  3. 1934 Chevrolet Panel Truck

    What a rare panel truck! This little 1934 Chevrolet is almost a "one of a kind". With it being under construction, we just had to share these pictures.
  4. 1957 Chevrolet from David Cross

    Have you ever crawled under a pickup for sale looking for damage? You then turned it down because some rust was coming through the floor. Well, check this! David Cross of Stillwater, Minnesota found this 1957 Chevrolet 1/2 ton and ignored the signs of major rust. What is now a show quality truck would normally have been crushed by a recycler.
  5. 1937 Chevrolet from Tim Koch

    This mid-Missouri 1937 Chevrolet 1/2 ton is owned by Tim Koch of Jefferson City. He chose this restoration shop to do the total project because of their reputation for quality as one of the best! The name Herrons Customs Paint is mentioned at so many local shows, it was worth Tim Koch talking to the owner and viewing his shop. The vehicles under rebuilding convinced Tim this was the company to do the restoration of his 1937 Chevy truck.
  6. 1951 Chevrolet from The Mense Family

    Here is a great example of a ground up restoration of a 1951 Chevrolet 3/4 ton. The project is being done by Line Creek Restorations in Northmoor, Missouri near Kansas City, 1-816-946-6000. When the project is finished, it will be a new truck!
  7. 1937 GMC from Eddie McElrath

    This is my latest project a 1937 GMC 1/2 ton pickup. Not exactly original but a personal preference. The previous owner had owned the truck for over 30 years and finally parted with it. It had been restored many years ago but was in need of a lot of repair to shoddy bodywork and I have added many upgrades.
  8. 1946 Chevrolet from Tommie Jones

    I am glad that you have shown an interest in my pickup. It was purchased from a local theater in 1964 they used it to carry a billboard in the back. After purchase it was used to carry feed and seed on the farm. After purchase of a newer pickup my Dad's employee used it to carry fuel and supplies to a bull dozer until the engine was beginning to fail.
