Rog, going to check out a '59 pickup at an auction in Chesterfield tomm. There's a panel truck there too, tho I am not positive on the yr/make from the pic.

Some interesting stuff at that auction...

Hmmm... should I bring 3 or 4 dollars & a trailer?

'59 looks like something is bent in the cab area; the roof is slanting downward- front end impact??

'69 'bird is interesting, but too new for me. One of these days a B-59 will turn up at a local auction. Maybe.

We'll see how busy a 2-wk before X-mas auction is. I love auctions.

Possibly Roger is already in the hospital after suffering from a pleasant stroke while typing in this thread.

I love that 61 Burban

Those '57s are real beauties.

Anyone else notice the Nomad?

WAY too many nice vehicles there. Are you speaking of the '58 Nomad? It's cool. That '57 GMC Palomino is such a sweet truck.

And the green '60 Willys wagon ain't bad, either!

No Ocn, the Nomad was in a few of the pics at the link Balthy posted.

oh

The '59 pickup in the auction I linked went for $180, but it was pretty rough.

The '59 Apache panel truck was also rough, but it stirred the imagination pretty well: $400.

Back from my "short trip" through the tunnel of light, where good ol' St. Peter informed me that while those trucks are "heavenly", they weren't up there with him behind those pearly gates

But yes, that is a heart attack inflicting auction right there. First '57 Heaven sells off their '57 GMC Suburban Carrier pickup, now this collector too? He's famous among the '50s GMC pickup fans for not only his superb Suburban Carrier collection, but also preserving the one-off 1957 GMC Palomino show truck. Damn I wish I had a trust fund available right now!!

Cool..those remind me of some that I've seen on a ridge outside Prescott, AZ...about a dozen or so '50s-60s Chevy and GMC trucks in a row, incl. a '57 GMC panel..
