Just wondering how many are from the eastern Oregon area? I only had my 1950 3100 from a couple months now and would love to see an actual restored truck so I know what is stock and what mods may have been made on my truck.

N.E. Oregon, just north of La Grande.
Grew up out of Kimberly OR

My '60 was sold new in Nov '59 from S /M Motors in John Day, my dad bought it from them when the original owner traded it in 1973.

Prineville !! 53 3100 I`ve had mine for 15 years and am just starting to get serious about fixing it up. It has been a great workhorse for hauling stuff and local trips.
