Evening all,

I've got a 1952 3100 and thoroughly enjoyed going through the information on this site to find what others have done to make their own trucks better. Thanks for making this all available.

Welcome to the best and sometimes weird bunch of the finest folks in the world. If I didn't post the weird factor would drop. This site and it's poster's have taught me so much. Have fun and have patience, you have a GM gem. Doc.

Hink, welcome to the Stovebolt. Best old Chevy truck site on the web....and GMC's. See you around the garage forums where any questions you may have can be answered. Good luck.

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

Welcome to the site. I also have a ‘52 3100 that I’m working on. The guys and gals here are great. A wealth of knowledge at you fingertips and willing to share. All you have to do is ask!

Certainly didn't expect such a welcome!

Yes, DFW is Dallas Fort Worth. I'll change it if it continues to cause confusion. I've only had this truck a few months and experienced a minor mechanical failure that's kept me from enjoying it on the road the last few months. This is a shot I took back in June. If all keeps along as I believe it may, I think I'll have it back on the road this weekend.
