Hello from Scotland? I guys the Chevy fans are truly everywhere! I only had to drive one hour to get my truck, I can't imagine the logistics of rebuilding a 60 year old vehicle from across the Atlantic! Thanks for the kind words. It's not as bad as it sounds Red,mainly thanks to the folks here and good friends in Va. The shipping and import taxes are killer! Thankfully my truck was from So-Cal(relatively rust free) and was also pretty complete. The bigger parts are a problem though, I can get them here...at a price! I just need a tailgate and splash apron and that should be it,OH! plus wheels and tyres. The Dollar rate's not doing me any favours at the moment.... 
I've definately got this truck thing in my blood ... my DNA sequence has torque settings"Of all the small nations of this earth,perhaps only the ancient Greeks surpass the Scots in their contribution to mankind" Winston Churchill. 1950 Chevy Advance Design 3100 in ScotlandIn the Stovebolt GalleryMore pix on Flickr .

Well how cool will it be to be cruising around the highlands in a chevy! Worth every penny for sure.

Every time I learn something new, I forget something I used to know, like that time I took a wine making class and forgot how to drive!

Red Absolutely... I just need an Airstream caravan now,to complete the package. Have you seen the prices they fetch? Mrs Jock would kill me!

Ditchmond Eh? I would love to meet some of the B.C. Bolters. If you have a gathering sometime this summer let me know. Maybe a chevy only show and shine/cruise/BBQ? I can bring a freshly stripped and primed cab corner or fender maybe. Nice looking trucks by the way.

Had a look at your pics....got yerself a project !!!
I assume you are going to " rod " her as I don't think '34's came with disc brakes. What are you thinking for running gear and suspension ?

I am going to do a mild rod as far as the running gear is concerned, a small block chevy coupled to a four speed. The disc rotors are not salvageable so I'll wait and see what to do there. Of the sheet metal that is there, not to much to replace so that is encouraging. Even some of the cab wood is still solid! Missing the back window panel, rear fenders, front chin and lower rad shell, rocker panels, bed to running board sheet metal, the lower back wall of the cab needs replacing and the entire box is pretty much shot. Other than that she just needs a tank of gas and a VIN# and I'm good to go! I will try and keep you up to date.

Howdy from down South.  Looks like you've got some work to do, but these old beasts are a lot of fun to tinker with. Some great folks in your area too, you should have no trouble finding help should you need it
1956 GMC 370 dump " 'Tater " [ stovebolt.com] 1970 VW Volksrod "the Black Bomber" 2007 Chevy Avalanche 2020 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk, 2005 Harley Davidson FLHTCUI I dig all cars, old and new, whether they were hammered out of American iron, German steel, or Japanese tin cans. Being unable to appreciate them all is missing out on a world of great things.
But thats just MY opinion! :P
