Pretty Cool! I just bought a 57 stepside.. Notice how they needed the weight from a couple guys in the bed to get thru some of the tougher sections...
with an I6 motor, bias tires and no electronic traction aids... new trucks have more comfort and pulling power but for toughness to do actuall work, you just cant beat an older truck. still see 40s - 50s chevy trucks on farms. see alot of old 70s ford trucks too...
Many of those trucks are still around on the roads today. I want to see if new vehicles of today are still rollin' 50 years from now! America, Good ol' America, I love you.
Damn! That was the good ole days when trucks were still built of steel and iron. Try doing that with a new truck....any brand.....and I doubt it would return in such good condition. The truck might make it but there would be more broken parts
My '53 Chevy 3100 1/2 is still running strong with it's original 216 stove bolt 6, 3 on the tree and 4.11 rearend. It has never failed me in all the years I've owned. My Great Uncle bought in new here in Santa Ana, Ca.
The good old days when Americans bought American trucks, Americans built American trucks in American factories. No sell out Titans or Tundras. AAAA++++
Cool I agree that this Napco video is awesome... but I'd take a stock I-6/Napco over any dana product any day. Oh & my 1958 Napco has the original stock V-8 motor.
GMC used Pontiac motors, so the correct stock V8 motor for my 58 GMC Napco suburban is the Pontiac 336. It was used for the 59 GMC models too. Since we're on the subject the 55 & 56 GMC used a 316 Pontiac V8 motor and for the 1957 GMC it was a Pontiac 347 that was used for their V8 motors.

mustang633NY is right. On our farm, we'd be lost without our 1950 Chevrolet 2.5 ton tandem axle grain truck, or the '69 GMC 1500...
