I just turned 20 years old today and I attend college full time and have a full time job working at a body shop. I have a 1950 Chevrolet 1/2 ton pickup that I am currently working on and have made alot of progress on it since I purchased it last year. It originally came with a 216cid and a 3 speed transmisson, I am replacing both for a '54 235 and a sm420 4 speed transmissoin. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2009 Posts: 2 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Dec 2009 Posts: 2 | Welcome to the forums Thomas.  | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | WOW... working at a body shop. Take that truck all apart and get the metal fixed up now!!! Welcome to the bolt. Sounds like you have your hands full with the Bolt and school but hang in there. The education and the truck will last you the rest of your life!! Do it once, do it right. Now, how about some  when you get a chance. Say, how did you come by your handle.

My boss has let me bring my pickup into the shop and I can work on it when ever I have free time. Its been hard to find time between working on customer vehicles and college to get my pickup done. I will get some current pictures loaded on the computer and write about all I have done so far.
