Old Chevy truck extraction.

white halftrack · Aug 8, 2019

For those of you that like old trucks.

My dad found this old 1951 3600 in a building that was falling down and after a year or two was finally able to grab it. My son and I helped with the extraction. It was a fun day and as the old newspapers used to say, ?a good time was had by all?. After pick up we ate at the smallest town in Nebraska. Anyone know where that is?
As found

The extraction

One more pic and then an old John Deere that was in the building to keep tractor related. Also picked up an old engine cart

Mighty fine. My 51 3/4 GMC is sitting in front of my house. It will be great. Jim

Well, from the white building in the 4th pic, I'd have to say Tilden, Nebraska.

Ok, what do I win?? *lol*

I hope you got the tractor too? Ron MN

Nice truck! Glad you were able to save it.
When you start working on it join the forums over at Stovebolt.com. You will find out everything you need to know to get that truck back on the road again.

Can not remember the name of the town or that it was even in Nebraska.
But there is a town somewhere up there that has a population of 1 after the woman's husband died years ago; if she is still alive.
Made it the smallest town in the world.

white halftrack · Aug 8, 2019

That is the place. Nice job.

white halftrack · Aug 8, 2019

No. We left it there. Model A.

Was stuck. Rough.

white halftrack · Aug 8, 2019

Not Tilden. Good guess though.

jeffcat · Aug 9, 2019

A very good rescue. Yeeeea another one saved.

I cheated and Googled the Legion. Population 30. Great body on the truck. Did you get a title? Please keep us posted on the progress.

Nice truck.
The sign in the one photo gave us a hint.

That is it. Monowi is one town over from Verdel Liz runs the cafe. The walls are lined with pics with celebrities that have stopped in. Didn?t look at all but a lot of Larry the Cable Guy.

Thanks for the comments. It was fun.

white halftrack · Aug 9, 2019

Didn?t notice the sign on that feed store said Tilden but it is not the name of the town. Must be a last name of family that owns it.

db4600 · Aug 9, 2019

I thought by ?51 they were all 5-windows. Enlighten me. Was that an option?

Traditional Farmer · Aug 9, 2019

What happened to make people leave the town?

John M · Aug 9, 2019

Did they at least fill it up while it was there?? Pump doesnt look that old.

Mike M · Aug 9, 2019

Best go get it too. A lot of good parts on it if nothing else. With both stacks covered bet I could get it freed up and running in no time.

white halftrack · Aug 9, 2019

5 window was a deluxe option. They could be purchased either way. 5 windows are more desirable to collectors but we are not as particular. We have low standards.

db4600 · Aug 9, 2019

Hmmm. I?ve got a ?50 5-window project. In my defense I?ve also got a ?54 donor. I believe ?53 was the last of the 5-window option.

Get that A,if its a late A i need the pto
Nice old iron horse pickup

matthies · Aug 9, 2019

Monowi.

wjytexas · Aug 9, 2019

I like the sun visor. Brings back memories.

Dachshund · Aug 9, 2019

I am in the middle of restoring a 1947 (late) 5-window 3600 that belonged to my wife's uncle. That one is in excellent shape! Been through Monowi several times, but not for years. I live in Missery, but am from SE Nebraska (Tecumseh).

Leroy · Aug 9, 2019

Ours was a 49 but got rid of it in 76 with body falling apart and not being able to get brake parts. Came in family when it was 3 months old. And we had that sun visor, only thing with them was seeing close up stop lights. 7:00x17" tires. Ours had the turn door handles, you should have the push button style.

Pete in MD · Aug 9, 2019

In the photo in front of the Legion hall what is it that's mounted on the truck right below your son's left arm? It looks like a set of flare pots for use if you breakdown on the road.

Goose · Aug 9, 2019

Yep.

Population 1.

Tech 7 · Aug 9, 2019

Nice catch.....probably better than the one CW McCall sang about!

dr sportster · Aug 9, 2019

What is the cylinder shaped thing bolted to the side of the truck bed ?

white halftrack · Aug 9, 2019

Yep. Flares.

white halftrack · Aug 9, 2019

The 1951 was the only year that had the pull down and vent windows.

RedMF40 · Aug 9, 2019

Nice find, looks to be in great shape to start a restoration or just get it running and drive it. Don't remember when those white "wagon wheel" painted rims were popular but maybe that's the last time someone fooled with it.

GordoSD · Aug 9, 2019

I bought gas from the station in Bill, WY Pop 1 Back in 1972.

Old stuff still out there folks, keep looking. Stan

tlock0331 · Aug 9, 2019

(quoted from post at 07:24:58 08/09/19) Get that A,if its a late A i need the pto
Nice old iron horse pickup

why would you want to scrap that tractor because you need a pto shaft, ive probably got one or two around already out hahah

Brown Dirt Cowboy · Aug 9, 2019

with that type of sideboards I'll bet that old Chevy has hauled a lot of grain.

white halftrack · Aug 9, 2019

What are you asking? Tractor was not mine. I am not scrapping it
and did not look at the pto.
