From Matt :

          I have a couple of updated pictures of my 1955 3100 4 x 4.

          I haven't had the chance to do much to any of my trucks lately, but I have started my 36' x 48' shop to keep the trucks in. I added the chrome front bumper to this truck and the stock wheels, hubcaps, and new tires. I have a stock chrome rear bumper to put on one of these days. I still have drivetrain issues for this one like driveline balancing.

          I picked up a Napco transfer case and front end but haven't decided whether or not to convert this truck back to a Napco or modernize the drivetrain for a smoother driver. When I get my roof on the shop, I'll do a line up of all my task force trucks for you guys.

From Matt :

          Greetings folks! Thought I'd send a shot of my '55 Chevy Shortbed 4 x 4. The truck is a factory V8 with the big window. Not an original Napco but I thought the stance looked tough.

          I need to work on some drive train issues but I can drive it and enjoy it while I work on it.

          The truck was a utility truck, originally yellow and had the 4 x 4 components on it already. I'm still deciding if I want to convert it over to 2-wheel drive or keep it 4-wheel drive.

          This one is going to be more of a daily driver. It is getting new chrome bumpers and 33x9.50 tires on stock wheels. It should look pretty cool.

          Thanks and keep up the good work! Will the web site be sponsoring a trucks anonymous soon? (We may need to consider it!! ~ Ed )

Thanks,
