'Bolter
Hi! I am helping a friend restore his longtime 54 3100. The catch is l’m a lifelong Ford man. I have an unrestored 69 Mach 1 in amazing condition and a 64-1/2 Mustang Coupe that I just finished a rotisserie restoration. This truck was pretty rough and is a total nut and bolt restoration and my first walk into Chevy Country. The work is what is important, brand is second to the work.

Is the tree being stored in the cab or growing through the trans tunnel?

I have a dorF. I wanted it to be reliable so I put a Chevy drivetrain in it eeeek

Looks like your friend's project is well underway.
