Welcome! My 53 1 ton is a few years younger than I am, but I sometimes feel like I am lots older than I am. They say you're only as old as you feel. This morning that would have made me about 105. The important thing to remember that this is a fun project, that you are doing it because you enjoy it. I keep telling myself that as I'm lying in the dirt with rust and crud falling in my face and blood leaking from my knuckles.

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 (
