I mean, if it&#8217;s &#8220;My Ride is Me&#8221; then why you selling it? Also, I don&#8217;t typically get into bikes. Like to look at them, love the way they sound&#8230; just not my bag. But&#8230; this old Chevy truck spoke to me!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As part of the universal &#8220;ACME Services&#8221; this truck does it all. From Used Tires to Bail Bonds to Speed Equipment. I&#8217;m sorta guessing that this is a 1953 Chevy truck by the &#8220;Est 1953&#8221; on the door. The Chevrolet &#8220;Advance Design&#8221; series as they were called from 1947 until 1955 had some pretty small changes year to year. Did I get it right? Wing \u00a0or vent windows in the door didnt&#8217; appear until 1951 and push-button door handles (like this truck has) didn&#8217;t appear until 1952. 1953 showed a change to the hood lettering for 3100, 3600 and so on based on load capacity, but look closely, this one says, &#8220;Chevrolet Thriftmaster&#8221;. That went away in late 1949. So&#8230; Well, let&#8217;s call it a 1953.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"highslide\" onclick=\"return vz.expand(this)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/2013-LA-Roadster-1953-chevy-thriftmaster-3.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[24254]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-24256\" style=\"margin: 4px; border: 2px solid black;\" title=\"1953 Chevy Thriftmaster truck with custom bike fit in the bed\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/2013-LA-Roadster-1953-chevy-thriftmaster-3.jpg\" alt=\"Chevy Thriftmaster, thriftmaster truck,\" width=\"575\" height=\"382\" border=\"2\" hspace=\"4\" vspace=\"4\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Dig how the bike fits into the tailgate.
