I'm working on a 1953 1 ton (3800).
I started this project in 2002, picked it up again in 2005, and am now going at it again. The problem is that I essentially dismantled it in 2002, and now I am faced with a pile of parts and a bucket of bolts, and no memory of what went with what!

I am currently digging back in to a 1953 3800 (one ton) with a nine foot bed. I've owned it since 1979, and drove it until 1982 (or so). My wife got me involved in restoring it back in 2002, got the body removed and the frame redone, then things came up. Now I am retired and starting again. If anyone is interested I have photos on Imagur ( https://timwhiteblues.imgur.com/ ). I live way back in the woods in the Ozarks on 40 acres at the end of a 2 1/2 mile private road.
