Alberto Ortega's 1951 Chevrolet 3100

20 September  03

From Alberto 

I bought my 51 when I was 15 back in 1976, fixed it up and drove it through high school and until we had a big freeze in 1987.  The cold weather cracked the block and head so my truck sat for 14 years.

My girl friend Katie and I decided to get the truck going again when gas prices shot up to 2 bucks a gallon.  With her willingness to help, long hours and driving across California for parts, we got her back on the road again.
