  • This week we met back up with jerry who said he had a 1952 Chevy Sedan sitting in a barn since 1976. as soon as I heard him say that I had to come to his barn and see it for myself! This car was filthy and I didn't expect the customer to call me during the end and to make that deal.. I swear its an addiction. Only car people will understand.

    The floor and frame is easy to fix. Get yourself a forney 110 volt flux welder, 1/4 steel for the frame, 18 gage steel for the floor, and angle grinder with a metal cutting disc, and it wouldn’t be any more labor then what you put in to cleaning it to repair all the bad metal.. then you’d make waaaaaaay more profit when you sell it.. smooth of the rough outside parts, look up the paint code for that year and just fill in what’s bad and feather it off.. then you could even stack waaaay more profit on top of that waaaaay more profit.. and I’m sure the engine spins, so tune up, fluids, battery and ur good to go.. it sounds like a lot but it ain’t. Bet your channel would blow the hell up if u did all that… repaint the rims, new white walls.. then you’d keep her. Guaranteed.. kid stuff super easy. 2k tops in materials.

    the C10 is often referred to as a half-ton, short bed pickup, it actually came in two different lengths. There was the 6.5 foot bed that had a 115 inch wheelbase and there was also the full size 8 foot bed with a 127 inch wheel base.
    115inch is a perfect match for your car with no frame.

    That's NOT a 1952. It's a '51 Style line Deluxe. I know because I had a '52 for 12yrs that I drove around the Bay Area, CA. I swapped the engine out for a '59 235ci with a whopping 135hp. Mine also had a two spd Powerglide automatic transmission and dual exhaust (Fenton headers) and was a 4dr Sedan and it was also dark green. my favorite color. I bought it in 1994 in Oakland,CA where it lived it's whole life being owned by a Dr. who made house calls with it. Great find and have fun with it. If it were me I'd keep it as original as possible.

    Absolutely a “Dreamboat!” If it was me, I would LOVE to completely restore it back to original, as best I could,(finding parts, getting some parts restored, etc.) and definitely keeping the same beautiful green paint color, and, maybe adding some white pinstripes . One main part, to start with, would be another car frame, not truck. If the rims are good, cleaning & repainting them(also the same green color,) and adding white wall tires. That would be,(@ least to me,) a fantastic “Sunday Driver & Car Show Stunning Ride!” Best wishes with it, & have fun!

    Having owned one, I must advise you that this is a 1951 Chevrolet. Had it been a 1952 model, it would have rolled off the assembly line with full-length lense front turn signals. The trim on the front fenders of a 52 no longer has the deluxe moniker emblazened on the trim. It was a straight line piece of molding. Finally, the rock guard moldings on the flared rear fenders had a linear strip of molding that reached rearward along the top of the wheel well openings.

The seats have old warshowski catalog, sears or Montgomery wards seat covers on them, so juat remove the covers the seats might be perfect underneath! You should put a battery in it and get it running! Parts are plentiful! If youre close to milwaukee or chicago i could come help you get it running and driving ive been restoring cars for my whole life(im 40). Frames can be had easily, lots of 4 door sedan parts cars around or you could fix the frame if you can weld.

    Such a beautiful car, to bad the last owner didn't take care of it, some people just take these cars for granted and just never wash them when there is salt on them thats one of the main reasons cars rust no matter what age it is hope it gets restored soon

    I gotta ask...what is it about nearly every old car about to be revived that the air cleaner is missing?. I'm from that era and don't recall anyone removing the air cleaner when they were finished driving the car.

    Normally I don't like it when cars get back halved for epic tubs with tube chassis etc.
    It's a prime candidate to be a gasser style drag car!

    Cars back then in the rust belt only lasted 4 maybe 5 years before body parts started falling off. There probably isn't much more rust there than there was when it was parked.

    What you have there is a car with all original parts, all you need is some frame and sheet metal - that's just metalworking. The hardest part in restoring is to find the detail parts that doesn't exist anymore.

    My father had a 51 stylline coupe. Same Green color with all the accessories. Bad shape? Yes, but not as bad as I've seen. Definately could be saved. Would hate to see this scrapped. Lots of good parts there.

    It's worth the effort to make the Chevy roadworthy again. A refurbished car rather than "restored". Just a good driver please.

      Is it worth the expense tho? That car is not valuable at all and not collectable or desirable. In nice driveable - non rusty condition it might bring 3 grand.

      @@norm-nas I would check price guides again I feel. If a 51 Chevrolet sings to you and gives the nostalgia feeling of being there. Then price is secondary. My great aunt had a 49 coupe, close friends of the family had a dark green four door like the rough find shown so history matters.

    Tip : Old paint would chip off because of the lead , lead paint stopped in 1976 . Maybe the car was not in an accident
