One visit in person was all it took to convince me (and her)! I'm now the proud owner of a '50 Chev 3100. It's currently at Austin Speed Shop having some suspension and brake work done, but I hope to have it in my garage soon! I'm in awe of you guys who can take a basket of parts and turn it into a beautiful machine! I'm not a mechanic, but I love tinkering. And it keeps me out of the house, which tickles my wife!

The link I posted is from my Facebook page. I'm going to get a Photobucket acct, and then it should be easier to post.

It makes sense to get a truck that is ready to roll, I did a complete frame off reconstruction that took 5 years, won't do that again. Good that the wife likes it, bonus.

I haven't seen Jesse James yet, but I did talk to his shop manager, Rocco. That is one big, tattooed dude! And a nice guy too. You know, Achipmunk's comment about "at my age" resounds with me. I've worked my butt off 40+ years now, and it's time I had a play toy. Plus it's less hazardous to my health than, say, a young cheerleader...

That's a nice looking truck you've found yourself,by your own admission you're not a mechanic,but it's good to see you've got your priorities right,like getting the brakes done by the pros.
No point in having such a great looking truck if it doesn't stop!
Good luck.
Jock.

I have a 50 GMC, same color and it's in the same city. Maybe we can meet at the traffic light (once I finish up a few details for the inspection sticker). | | | | | Joined: Jun 2012 Posts: 13 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Jun 2012 Posts: 13 | Very neat! Mine is still at Austin Speed Shop, finishing suspension and brake work. Hope to get it next week.
