Brothers Truck Parts is a substantial cornerstone in the world of classic Chevy and GMC reproduction parts, and if you own a truck wearing either one of those badges, you most likely have some of their parts on it. Well, what better way for Brothers to promote their own business and bring their customers together to strut their stuff than the Brothers Show and Shine? It isn't exclusive to just their customers; they welcomed all Chevy and GMC trucks from '47-87 to Featherly Park in Anaheim, California, for this year's event, which happens to be in its eighth consecutive year.
The Show and Shine fell during the hottest July on California's record, and even though Featherly Park has a fair amount of trees, there was still a mad dash for the shady spots, which filled up quickly. A wide variety of General Motors' workhorses were on hand, covering quite a bit of the spectrum from stock originals, to restos, to in-progress cruisers, to full customs and 4x4s. If you were in the mood to shop (and who isn't when it comes to parts?), there was a handful of vendors in attendance to fill your bags, and, of course, Brothers had plenty of order forms and catalogs to peruse.
Winter is soon upon us, so sit back, relax, read on, and think warm thoughts of sunshine and Chevrolets. Check out Brothers Truck Parts at www.brotherstrucks.com for more info on parts and updates for the 2007 show.
The '58-59 trucks seem to...
The '58-59 trucks seem to be gaining in numbers on the Tri-Fives, and Frank Sanchez was there to do his part with a clean '59 GMC Deluxe Cab Fleetside that's finished in a subtle yet classy Antique White.
I couldn't quite make out...
I couldn't quite make out Larry's last name, but it doesn't change the fact that his '53 Chevy Canopy Express is cool! This early sport utility truck was the only one of its kind at the show.
This '52 didn't have a name...
This '52 didn't have a name on it, but one might assume it is a restored Forest Service truck, especially with its vintage fire extinguishers mounted to the bedsides and its roll-up canopy.
If memory serves, Phil West's...
If memory serves, Phil West's '64 Chevy had a 502- or 572-inch rat motor stuffed between its fenderwells. Either way, there's more than enough juice to spare when Phil puts the little red and white shortbed sideways.
An Offenhauser rocker cover,...
An Offenhauser rocker cover, chrome side cover, dual-point distributor, chrome alternator, and beautiful Stellings & Hellings air cleaners sit atop this 2x1 setup.
If for some reason you needed...
If for some reason you needed a break from looking at real trucks, you could stroll through the vendor area and check out shirts with trucks on 'em, or buy parts for your truck project back in the garage so you can bring it to the next Brothers show.
