# 2584 From Danny : Remember my old 1953 1-ton dump truck, and this little red head in the picture? Well, the boys have grown. The red head on the bumper is the proud owner of a 1954 3100 on an S10 with a 327 and a NV3500 5 speed. Court's truck IS A DRIVER -- here's a mini-burn out to enjoy! And Court will be a driver this month! Just taking his Driver's Ed classes now! Here's his first ride! This is COURTLAND'S truck. He's paid for the majority of it. Sometimes the O'Mamma Administration has had to give a loan (note I didn't say Bail Out!) but he's done the work and coughed up the dough. He bought the frame, cab, hood, rear fenders, the engine, and trans. I floated him the front fenders and doors (they were from my truck but it'll be a while!). The grille and bed are from my Mom's truck that she got when I was 8 years old! Grandma was gone for the winter to Florida so we've hogged in on her garage. YES we clean it before we leave every weekend (just in case she's reading this, you never know...). We swapped over the tires to a set of wide whites on some reverse chromies. This gives us four tires with the same diameter so we can get everything level and square without wondering if it is the truck's fault. Body mounts are on for the bed and for the back of the cab. Still some discussion on the front of the cab but we have spacers holding it in place. I know, should have started there...
Got a steering column mocked in from DirtyT and some other goodies done. Still need S10 swing pedals and a 5 speed but all in due time. Court worked his eight hours one Sunday! We have a whole list of folks to thank from the HAMB site. Thanks for having a great site here. We just picked up a windshield from Detroit Autorama that we found on the Swap Meet pages and couldn't be happier. Relayed all the way from Texas to Detroit in about a month. PS. The little one on the fender from the picture above, is now 13 and will be starting a '48 Chevy Sedan Delivery next! That truck has a 235 with a T5. Danny -30- |
