Hi All...great forum and very knowledgable members!!!
Background Info: I have a '51 3100 Chevy that is currently all original. It does not run and has not moved in 14 years (stored in my parents barn). When it did run (14 yrs. ago) EVERYTHING worked--all lights, gauges, horn, dome light, etc...
Now, however, due to a window leaking prior to the barn storage arrangement, the floorboard needs replacing all the way across and from the front of the seat frame to the toe board. The toe board is solid. Also, I suspect the passenger side cowl area needs soome work as it appears the previous owner did some work in this area with body filler and primer. The rest of the body seems to be in outstanding condition.
Finally, my question: what would be the sequence of moving forward with the project given this info?
I want to be able to drive the truck a lot. Therefore, I am considering any and all BOLT-ON type mods...power disc brakes, power steering, A/C, upgraded 6 cyl. engine, rear gears, open driveline, etc...my only requirement is that any mod could be removed in the future by its new owner (I won't live forever..ha!) if they wished to return the truck back to its original condition.
So, tell me how you would build your "dream truck" given these parameters. Then I can "pick and choose" which modifications I am interested in...mainly though, I want to know the ORDER in which you would perform any mods...
Thanks for any suggestions!!
