Hi vin Vanners here is a photo of my new tow vehicle
it is a 1955 chevy 3100 ute the last of the 3100 series they came out in the first two months of 1955

To which Humpyboy responded on 17 March 2010:

that is one seriously nice looking ute (pick up) if you decide you no longer want it I'm sure I can make room here for it ;D

Morry commented on 18 March:

You'll know where this utes been though - just look for the ants with crew cuts - she's one low rider

And Kaybee questioned:

Jeez Will....it seems a bit high still...... ;D ;D ;D

[RollyDog]

Great looking ute Willyn - very tasteful. A mate turned up at work today in a 57 Belair he just purchased. I'm a Ford man but I'm appreciating the Chev quality that's out there.

Hi all,

As some of you will be aware this thread was moved offline at the end of last week. It was transferred back onto the forum after several posts were removed by the moderating team, and we wish to explain why this occurred for the record. The posts were removed for one of two reasons, or both:

1. They were critical of forum members with hot rods discussing or posting photos of their vehicles on the forum.

With respect to these posts, the introduction to the 'Vintage Caravan Tow Cars' section for the forum clearly states: "Use this board to discuss anything related to the classic, vintage, rod & modern cars that we use to tow our vintage caravans. In a lot of cases, these cars are our first love, with the vintage caravan being an accessory to our car." It follows that forum contributors should be able to feel free to discuss their vehicles without being criticised by others.

2. They included critical or offensive comments about other forum contributors.

In this regard we have all agreed to the following statement as a condition of our participation in the forum: "You agree, through your use of this forum, that you will not post any material which is false, defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise in violation of ANY law."

There are two issues about which many contributors have very strong feelings, and which from time to time cause conflict on the forum:

• Restoration vs modification of vintage caravans.
  
• Hot rod vs stock tow vehicles.
  

Different contributors have different views, and it is probably safe to say that the two sides on either issue will never see eye to eye. That doesn't mean there aren't plenty of other things we share in common, or plenty of other things that we have to discuss.

As moderators we strongly suggest that if you see a post on one of these topics that annoys you - move on to the next post.

Don Ricardo

Hi Clyde thanks a lot for the vote of confidence
I like your chevy ute too!!
when you already have nice truck its nice to know the replacement is a step in the right direction
the basic reason we bought the chevy is the 400 cubic inch motor and heavy duty gearbox we want to take a trip where there is no gas garages north of Australia
and betty was run on dedicated gas she has two bullet tanks under the stepsides leaving the tray completely clear
good names guys willow lowlife kool as ice
Lyn Likes Blue Ice
thanks for all the good comments on the new blue ute
again guys we are extremely happy about the new vehicle and we are going to miss Ol Black Betty after six years of great memories and lots of vintage caravanning but Betty is going to a good home


regards to all who made comments on my chevy

Well the first step is happening the Blue ute is now on its way to california from Nebraska
and around may 20 on Lyns 50th birthday it will land
here is some photos of the pick-upbeing picked up in its alter ego higher state

Poor old Carl doesnt look happy after owning it since he was 15 his first high school car he is 35 now
I promised him it is going to a good home

here is a bad habit the blue ute will have to get out of
eating at McDonalds
now it belongs to a naturopath it looks like subway is the new eating spot





w

looks like its got a name

will
ps
I reckon Marvin would be a good match for to low 55
anyone know who owns it ?

[Geoff & Jude]

re marvin

it might be for sale.

geoff

[whippy]

Willyn,
I must have been missing in action as I missed the original post. This looks fantastic. I am not much of a motor head (as many know) but I really like this truck.
Well done.

well we eventually got "THE GHOST"home
it took around ten months for the new Chevy to get here from the States
The rubbish new laws have left a lot of Rodders in a bit of a pickle
The Boffins in Canberra decided in their infinite wisdom that cars Modified after 1988 will not be allowed into Australia as from 14 April 2010
So how did I get mine in
(thats a secret) once you have the permit it is in and it cant be revoked
so its here and thats it
Here's some photos of her in the drive with Lyns 50th birthday present


I had it sprayed Chameleon blue/Purple if you have got the best wife in the world give her the best car



Here is some good news
Rogers beautiful Lady Lyns new Volkswagen won the best Kombi at the Volkswagen show on the weekend
roger had the Teardrop sold it to Richard in Bridgetown and with 37 ford two door soft top tows a sunliner now
here is her Kombi


Modified Kombis dont go down to well with the VW judges
its just that I feel good when my cars are lowered due to the fact my legs forgot to grow when i was a kid and it makes me feel good when I am higher than the roof of the car yuck yuck yuck!!
here Lyn's other car


I would still like to get Marvin for THE GHOST to tow I think it would be a perfect match

well see ya later alligator
got lots of work to do to pay for the petrol and regos

but what the heck you only live once !! RIGHT?

Will and Lyn Bayley car and vintage caravan nutters

..............................................................................................................................................................................RIGHT?

[Jellybean]

That is so cool !!
I love 50s trucks. (I would take a couple of inches out of the roof but thats just me)
