Hi all! I've been lurking around this forum since around 2007 when I bought my '52 sedan. That's been mothballed since my daughter arrived in '09 so I haven't had a reason to join--until recently. My wife decided she's like a truck to go "picking" in (I call it "junking" but, whatever), but it had to be "old and cool". We found a '51 3600 on ebay/craigslist back in Sept, 2016 so I had a reason to lurk again. It's relatively stock 216/4sp combo with a 12v conversion and electronic ignition, and 4.10 gear in the stock rear. Stock suspension running bias ply tires (she insisted on whitewalls because they "look fancy"). I've gone through nearly every component since we purchased it and tried to keep it as close to stock as possible, with just a few nods to reliability. My wife even learned to drive a stick shift in this truck so that she could keep it original.
We've been having a lot of fun with it and look forward to many more miles!
