The Gallery

The '57 NAPCO is a frame up restoration, essentially original.  The paint and a few other details aren't.  I bought the truck out of Oklahoma (with Mick's help) in its present condition and am going through it little by little - starting with the drive train.  I'll eventually take the body off and repaint it to an original condition.  The truck has a custom cab, but nothing else really special.  I bought it because we used these to plow snow at the family beer distribution business when I was a kid and I fell in love with their looks.  We put big GM V-8's and automatic trannys in them to plow snow, but I'm now a purest so I'll make this as original as possible.  I've shown it once, but didn't win (because the judges didn't know what it was - they thought it was a late model conversion).  I'll try to get you a better picture.

The AD is a '50.  It was a plumbers truck here in central Wisconsin.  It was in tough shape when I traded a fishing boat for it (my wife thought I was nuts - she didn't realize what telling me to get rid of the old fishing boat meant).  I did the frame up myself, and now use the truck to drive to work.  Before becoming a driver, it won a trophy at every show it went to.
