I seem to recall awhile back that there was some reference to such an index, but I can't find it. Anyone have any info? 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. Tim

What is that, and how does it differ from a 3100? Is it inclusive of all 3000's, ie 3100/3600/3800 etc? I'm trying to separate out all that doesn't pertain to the 3100 I'm working on. Thanks!
