Hello everyone.

I'm new to this forum, fortunate to be here, and looking for guidance.

I've got a 51 chev 3600, so she's the long box 1T. Goals are to make it as new and reliable as a daily driver.

I intend on buying a new fab'd rolling chassis, and a connect and cruise package from GM with manual trans.

I have many questions, and I'm searching the forum for everything I can find relating to this truck and anyone doing any similar work.

a few thoughts I had, and please chime in if you have an opinion.

1) I've found the 3600 aspect is not common with the guys fabbing new chassis. the 3100 1/2 T is most common. should I just convert the truck to a 1/2T? I realize some of the body panels are then different too.

2) Does anyone do a prefab'd chassis for the 3600?


Thanks for any help you can throw my way.
