This is a 1950 Chevy 3100 series truck built by Tom Barnes who kindly agreed to have it painted in our company colours - and even allowed us to add some "period" signwriting.
The truck has been restored to retain an original appearance, but updated to provide a truly usable vehicle. Here are some details
