Hello everyone, thought I'd give one of these intro things a try. It's been a long time coming but I've finally bought myself a resto project. It's a 1956 3600 with a 235 and 4 speed. Original engine fires right up and sounds great. It's pretty beat up as it spent its life as a farm truck and hadn't moved since around 1970 but its sitting on a solid foundation and the rust is mostly surface rust. I can't wait to start twisting wrenches and swinging hammers.

Here she is the day I brought her home.

I've already learned a ton from this site and can't wait to learn more.

Hi Matt, welcome! Better a beat up truck than a rusty truck. Have fun with it. If you need help, just ask. There is a section here for Texas members, they may live closer than you think.

Welcome, like your A/C system. You need the extra air that far south.

Matt, I assure you that your truck is in no worse shape than many of what the bolters here have overcome and made into a piece of pride and joy. Just 15 minutes EVERYDAY will do wonders. Good luck and we're here for you.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
