1952 Chevrolet Flatbed Truck
Here is a photo of a 1952 Chevrolet flatbed truck that I bought back in 1975 for about $350.
This truck had one of Chevys 105 HP 235 cubic inch “Big Six” engines with a 4-Speed synchro-mesh transmission, and I remember it being a really noisy ride at highway speeds.
It was equipped with a hydraulic rear lift gate activated by pulling out a PTO knob in the cab and then using a few levers by the rear of the truck to operate the up, down, and folding movement of the gate.
I only owned it about six months before I sold it to a friend who had a body shop business in Pewaukee, Wisconsin where I would occasionally help out part-time.
This photo from the winter of 1976 was the truck parked behind the spray booth of the shop after I had sold it and was taken with one of those little instamatic cameras with Kodak 110 color transparency film. ~~ A Jeff Hampton Photograph ©
