<p>Hi there! I found your very interesting pick-up site just now and I thought that my 1949 5 window 3100 Thrift master fit right in there.  I bought it in 1989 from a guy who had imported a few Chevy trucks from USA.  None of them were in any fine shape, and mine weren't no exception.&nbsp;<br>
<br>
I spent the following winter in the garage and got it ready in time for a local cruising in a town nearby.  I don't have any pictures scanned of it before the restoration, I can fix that if you are interested.&nbsp;<br>
<br>
I've used the step side around the year since then as second family car.  A 305 SB was put in before I bought it and I have shifted to a 350 after a bearing seize in 1999.  The 350 is from a 1980 Chevy Suburban and has a little more power (270bhp) than the 305 I had first.  So now I have a broken rear axel.  I'm planning to replace it with a newer 10 bolt axel from a mid size Chevy, preferably with a calmer ratio.  The broken one has 4.10:1 and I want something like 2.76-3.00:1 instead.<br>
<br>
My name is Magnus Nybom and I live in the north-west of Sweden.</p>


  <p><i>Curator &quot;Magnus - I bet you get lots of looks in Sweden with that
  truck!&nbsp; Thank you for the submission and by all means send in some
  'before' pictures&quot;</i></p>
