Calling it quits for now.
#20

Ron Ramirez Wrote:Hi Dave

No, I have not acquired another Task-Force Chevy...but who knows, maybe one of these days I will! I would like to have another...next time though, I would prefer a 1956 or 57 model with original "three on the tree" setup.

For those of you that do not know what we are talking about, the Task-Force series of Chevrolet trucks were manufactured from mid-season 1955 through the 1959 model year. Here are a couple pictures of the truck I used to own, both circa 1998:

I have a brother born in 1958 and another born in 1959. Since I was a kid I always wanted a 1959 Chevy Apache. I first ended up with a 1958 Ford truck. It was awesome. But not nearly as awesome as my 1954 Chevy truck or my 1947 Chevy truck. I restored them both and they had every original accessory imaginable, including the original radio, visor with traffic light viewer, unison seat and so on. Also, I said quitting for "now", but I still keep eying that old Philco model 70. Thanks for the photos of the Chevy Ron. Nice truck!
