I never really had any good pictures of my dads 59 Sweptside truck (FABO member FISHYPETE) so when he stopped over today I had him drive to a nearby park so I could get a few, here they are...hope you enjoy them :glasses7:

BTW, this was the first time he took it out this year, hasn't been washed since last fall so its a little dusty :eek:ops:

super nice truck
 
Now that's a truck with style! Makes new trucks look boring.

What's the drivetrain???
 
Looks great dusty or not! Damn nice truck, definitely don't see them everyday.

They only made 100 in 1959, and very few are left of those, this one is all stock/original except for the radial tires. It has 318 poly with a 3-speed manual. I wish the pictures were bigger, not sure why they show up smaller. Dad is really proud of this, lots of work went into this frame-off resto :glasses7:

Ooops, the wood in the bed was originally black, but finished looks way nicer
 
NICE truck Keith! WOW!

And whoever said "thats when trucks had style" was NOT kiddin! My Power Wagon, couldn't even stand up to that!!!!!

NICE!

Any good pics under the hood?
 
I remember you posting a pic once before Keith and its absolutely stunning. Style galore and gorgeous! You should get a calendar done up of yours and pops vehicles!!

Always fun to see Pete's truck and your two 66's together. You guys have some nice machines there and that's not all of the collection either.
