I am from Gunnison as well and have seen your truck. It looked good in the car show a few years ago. I also have a 51 2 ton that we used to have our wrecker on. It is not as nice as yours. This is a fun site with lots of information. Glad you found it.

Registered on the site a few years back but finally dragged my 55.1 5 window out here from Colorado last week. Excited to get my hands dirty.

I own an auto shop, have always loved old Chevy trucks and just drug one home - 1953 3100 Deluxe Cab 4-speed. No motor but I ran across a complete 235 that I couldn't pass up before I even had the truck. And so it begins...
I built it one piece at a time, and it didn't cost me a d...yeah right!

| | | | Joined: Jun 2012 Posts: 1,747 'Bolter | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2012 Posts: 1,747 | Ogden Utah. Lots of trucks are still running around. Some in my neighborhood, most will honk and wave as they go by. Nice. Found a sort of roller, with a 235, 4 speed and a torque tube rear that I need. Tough to move, the frame was cut just after the E brake pivots. "Just get it out of the yard" price. So it is now in front of the garage waiting for me to pull off what I want. Just might be the best parts deal I have ever made.

I am still trying to decide which direction I want to go, do I do a frame up or just make it a nice daily driver. Either way I am looking forward to the trip one day.
