Hi guys, just thought I'd drop a note and introduce myself. I've been using online forums (automotive-related) for 20 years, so this is nothing new to me, I'm just new to this forum. The reason I registered is because I'm contemplating purchasing a '51 Chevrolet 6100 and this looks like a good place to network for knowledge and other helpful info. I don't have the truck yet and I'm still on the fence about buying it. It's actually a 65XX model with a 179" wb. It has a 235 with a 4-speed and a 2-speed eaton axle. Very little rust and it appears to be mostly unmolested. It has an old flat stake pocket bed on it that I am probably going to remove immediately. What I'd really like to do is cut it down to a much shorter wheelbase - like a single axle tractor. It would probably be very handy in that form with that 2-speed rearend.

1950 4100 - unrestored and driven weekly for almost no reason at all.
