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. Not quite a trailer queen I've already learned a ton from this site and can't wait to learn more. -Matt- | | | | | Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,215 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,215 | 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.
