I currently do not have a truck, but I am looking, hopefully to find my grandfathers old truck since I learned to drive on it. A bit about myself, grew up on a farm in ND, we had a 55 1/2 ton and a 53 1 1/2 ton grain truck as well a 66 1/2 ton. I personally have owned a 57 3100 series, a 58 32 Apache, and a 46 stylemaster 2 door sedan so I am no stranger to the stovebolts. Maybe this is my midlife crisis or I am having an extreme bout of nostalgia for a simpler time when you drove the vehicle and not the other way around. My dad says that grandfather's truck was probably sent to the scrap heap years ago, but I hope to prove him wrong. At any rate it was a 55 Chevy 3100 with the deluxe cab (big window) with a 235 and the 3 speed. It even still had the factory radio delete plate in it. Unfortunately we sold it at the farm auction in 1979. I used to see it alongside highway 20 on the south side of Webster, ND (just north of Devils Lake)before we moved. My dad stopped to take a picture of it in 1981 when he returned for a funeral. That is the last time we saw "old blue", maybe someone here can help me to track him down again.

Best of luck in your search. How far south of Webster?

Take a look at this carcass. pull the little man down to street level and look at the truck north of the house.

Last time I saw it was on the south edge of town (if it can be called a town) on the west side of the highway. I have a couple of pics that I will figure out how to post (after I get my trophy wife to show me how to run the scanner) unfortunately they were taken in 1981 so I may have my work cut out for me!!

Welcome mountain man, hopefully you can prove your dad wrong about the truck's demise at the scrap yard. Good luck.

I hope that this works, I am not all that well versed in computers, I am better at mechanical work. http://s1233.photobucket.com/albums/ff400/keithmountain11/
