Just picked up this 49 3100. It was built in the late 70's-early 80's and it was a daily driver up till about 98, the guy put a 350/350th, 12 bolt rear and put disc brakes on the stock axle. It is showing it's age with the panneling and shag carpeting on the roof, doors and floor, old cheapo 3 gauge under dash, sun tach on the dash. brings back a lot of memories from the van and mini truck days! it is in pretty good shape and only needs a few things and she will be back on the road. paid 700.00 for it think I got took?

You might want to look at the link in the bottom left corner of this page. Posting pics directly into a thread is strongly frowned on in the 'bolt. When Cletis finds it he'll change it to links & prolly send you a please don't so it again note.

Oh yes, I think a lot of us here would believe what you found. Anyone who has torn into one of these old beasts knows you can find anything from dead animals eek to porn magazines blush to dynamite. eeeek

I would say you got a heck of a good deal on it. Even if there are home made parts and bailing wire holding it together you got something nice to start with. I like a good challenge, just look at my truck. It feels so good to be able to look at it when it is finished and and say " I started with this pile of junk and here is the classic I made out of it." Enjoy restoring it.

Nothing you find in an old 'bolt would surprise me, I know of used condoms, porn mags., dead critters, etc., etc.
