Hi to all, I did join awhile back and have been reading through different forums here mainly in the big bolts forum. I purchased a 1956 chevy 6100 that has a dump box ( low sides ) about a month ago in pretty good shape, the truck has a 261 6cyl with a two speed vacuum shift rear end and what I believe only 54k miles. The truck was originally owned by the Wisconsin department of forestry then a local lumber yard in superior wi. before sold to private ownership then to myself. I did have to rebuild the carb to get it to run and had to run it off a 1 gallon gas can due to the old fuel in the tank, it was last licensed in "94" . She has no brakes yet till I get the lines replaced, wheel cylinders rebuild and investigate the hydrovac , but the E brake works very well ! I did drive it around the property it was on and dumped the load of rotten lumber and birch tree in the bed so the dump works great. I have been gaining a wealth of knowledge from these forums which I really appreciate from all the people who have posted in the different forums. Thanks! I will be posting some pics soon in big bolts
