It had been sitting out there for 35 years. When I 1st went to see it there was a desert rat living inside. As I took some photos of the truck I tried to get a photo of him but he was having none of that. I'm still in the planning stages but hope to start soon and be driving it next summer! Here is a direct link to my images on Flickr. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 2,946 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 2,946 | Looks like a nice truck.

*UNDER CONSTRUCTION* 1953 Chevrolet 3100 1/2 ton-previously abandoned resto. My Project BoltI hate when people leave their brains at home. Seriously when did critical thinking and customer service go out the window? How about common sense and striving to go the extra mile? Idiots, surrounded by idiots it tell you.

Looks like a nice project! | | | | | Joined: Aug 2010 Posts: 105 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2010 Posts: 105 | Thanks Chris! I'm guessing the bed was fabbed in the mid 60's. They did a nice job and I plan on keeping it that way. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2010 Posts: 105 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2010 Posts: 105 | I just wanted to add this video of my truck.

I did a frame off, but left the body as is. I want to drive it for a couple years before I paint it. The motor is a 350 crate with the original trans. & rear end. It runs & rides nice but I have more plans for this year. Thanks! SEE YA!

We can see you've been putting your "15 minutes a day" in on your project. Have you decided on the outside color scheme yet?
Thanks for sharing.
