I cant say thank you enough to you all with your wealth of knowledge as it steered me in the right directions whenever i had questions. I have a 49 chevy 3100, hence the name, that is a restro/rod. Ive tried to keep it orginial as i could, it was a basket case when i got it, minus the engine, tranny and rear end as it has a 350 with a 700r4 and a 74 Nova rear end. I wanted to say thank you for having me and thank you again for all your wisdom on these old Bolts. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,215 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,215 | Welcome Pat, I'm sure this site has helped many people with their trucks. Glad that you chose to join us.
Is your truck lowered a bit at the front? Nice truck.

Thats one sweet ride and I bet it turns a lot heads going down the road. I know you will have a lot to contribute to the Bolt as we go along.
Thanks for the pictures. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2000 Posts: 738 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2000 Posts: 738 | Beautiful truck!

I still am suprised how well it turned out as bad as the cancer was on it. The pictures doesnt show realy how bad as when i took the cab off of the frame the firewall and all that supports the front of the cab collasped and allowed it to drop down. It was partly my fault as if I would have kept the doors on it while lifting the cab off, it wount have dropped but i was trying to reduce the weight for me and a friend to lift it off. | | |
