<p>This is my 1950 Chevy 3/4 ton pickup I purchased in December 2002.&nbsp; It
looks pretty good in this picture, but every time I shut a door on it a half
pound of rust and dirt would fall out on the garage floor!&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;<img border="0" src="images/nasworthy_tom_1950_02.jpg" align="left" hspace="8" vspace="8" width="392" height="294">I
am planning to do a frame off resto/rod project with the truck, replacing the
235 6 cyl with a 350 v8.&nbsp; The 3 speed tranny will be replaced with a
TH400.&nbsp; A PO (previous owner) replaced the original rear with a newer 14
bolt with 3:21 gears, so I'll keep it.&nbsp; Most of the sheet metal is
restorable except the grill which is paper thin and eaten up by rust. The cab
floors are rusted through in a number of spots so patch panels will be going
in.&nbsp; I have spent the last 2 months tearing it down, and as you can see the
frame is bare except drive train and suspension, and the cab is stripped and
ready to be worked on. <img border="0" src="images/nasworthy_tom_1950_03.jpg" align="right" hspace="8" vspace="8" width="336" height="252"></p>
<p>I plan to spend the next year on the frame/drive train / suspension / brakes,
then another year on the cab / bed / sheet metal.&nbsp; I am documenting every
step of my disassembly with my digital camera to assist in the reassembly a
couple of years down the road (my memory ain't as good as it use-to-was).&nbsp;</p>
<p>Hopefully in about 2-3 years I'll have some beautiful new pics to post of the
finished truck!&nbsp; Questions or comments are welcome!&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
