Pretty sure '55-'59 Chevy trucks all had a straight axle. I still see leafs on one picture, so this one appears to have one still.Technically, without a straight axle and well headers it doesn't meet most people's criteria to be called a gasser.
Touche Valle, you are correct. But looks like it carries stock ride height and lacks the well headers to meet my old school definition of a gasser. Then again... I'm just old.Pretty sure '55-'59 Chevy trucks all had a straight axle. I still see leafs on one picture, so this one appears to have one still.
That was one cool ride. Still around somewhere?It needs to look like a gasser , fenderwell headers higher in the front,maybe tilt nose. Right now it looks like a rat rod or a shop truck. I used to tow with an old Dodge truck that lookes similar when I raced a 57 nomad in C/MP back in the 60's.
I have raced in the gasser days and up until Modified eliminator was eliminated. Then raced nostalgic gassers. This is what a Gasser looks like,my last true Gasser.
I agree, and most of us know a gasser look when we see it. But we're not too critical here at Gasser Hotrods, and that keeps things friendly and civil. We all have different tastes, and budgets, so we do what we can with what we have to work with.It needs to look like a gasser , fenderwell headers higher in the front,maybe tilt nose.
