Hi, after countless years of looking and taking pictures I just brought home a 1953 3100 five window. My wife has had to come get me from the garage every time there is a meal or it's time to go to bed.
It is so good to be one of you and thanks in advance for the expertise and advice.
Don

Thanks Leo, Due to my age I was not born with the high tech software. I will keep trying on more photos.

Don, your not alone when talking the hight tech stuff but somehow we all end up getting it done albeit a little slow sometime! Congrats on the 53. I have also ate many cold meals until I found out the little lady means it when she says "soups on"......then back to the shop. No late TV for me. LOL

Lots of knowledge around the bolt so be sure and take advantage of it and I'm sure you know a trick or two yourself. Just jump right in and get your feet wet.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile

Nice one Don. No wonder you're staying in the garage. Have fun with it and don't neglect your other commitments.

Hey! Welcome to the forums. Beautiful truck. Hope you enjoy driving it and working on it. The two seem to go together.

Tim


I am currently digging back in to a 1953 3800 (one ton) with a nine foot bed. I've owned it since 1979, and drove it until 1982 (or so). My wife got me involved in restoring it back in 2002, got the body removed and the frame redone, then things came up. Now I am retired and starting again. If anyone is interested I have photos on Imagur ( https://timwhiteblues.imgur.com/ ). I live way back in the woods in the Ozarks on 40 acres at the end of a 2 1/2 mile private road.
