The Stovebolt Site Forums Welcome! Welcome Centre Do It Yourself (DITY) Gallery 1951 Chevy 3100 - finished

Just finished rebuilding my 1951 Chevy 3100. Started out just wanting to repaint it but spent next 1 1/2 years doing a frame off rebuild. It had been sitting in a barn in Cumby, Texas for 10 years. Remained in my garage for another 20yrs before I got motivated. You sure learn alot about a vehicle when you tear it into hundreds of pieces. Many thanks to Bolters who helped answer my questions and helped me get it back together again.
Painted Windsor Blue, 1956 Chevy 235ci 6 cyl., 12 volt conversion, CPP front disc brakes, Patrick's 3.55:1 rear differential, Vintage Air air conditioning, 15" radial tires on Wheels Vintiques smoothies, LED tail lights and turn signals, Custom Autosound stereo, and Mar-K oak bed wood.
Runs great and gets lots of admiring looks when driven around Bartonville, Texas. Photobucket

hmmm, I can't see the pics for some reason.
Anyway, congrats on finishing up your project. Things to come together if we keep plugging away on them.

No - I get the main Photobucket page (I am not a member, I guess).

Photobucket
After many attempts, photos of '51 Chevy seem to be attached.
Is there a way to correct what order the photo open? Would like front view to start rather than motor.
How do you get photos into the Gallery section?

blue51, I have had the same problems with changing order of photos in Photobucket. From what I have read we are using a new version and the "arrange photos" feature has not been added yet.

Love the picture of your blue '53 on the curvy road.
Must be full time job keeping all the trucks running.

I love the pic in front of the gas pumps. Nice pickup.

Photobucket....yeah, we use to be able to click on organize and then drag them to where we wanted them. I got the same message as RdsLessTaken about the feature not being up and running but would be "soon". This is the reason I went back to the original until we couldn't anymore. I let them know of this very problem when they first introduced the "new" version. Now my pics are all kaddy whompus.

anyway, nice pickup and I'm always partial to any color that is blue

EDIT: Blue51, you can write your story in the DIY forum which is a sub forum of the welcome center. The info will be picked up from there and if you provide a link to your picture it will be posted with your story.

Blue51,

Congrats on completing the project! Looks great! Now ENJOY it!!!

Blue51,
Thanks for the note and, yes, our trucks sure look like they were built side-by-side. The color on my truck is called "Ford Blue", but isn't "Wimbledon Blue" also a Ford color? I'm also running with LED tail-lights and like the look of your sequential add-ons. Did your truck have the enclosed drive-shaft? Mine has the 4.00 differential and would sure like to install something with a bit more oomph at the top end, but I don't have the knowledge level to try to swap out to an open drive shaft if that is required to upgrade the differential. Anyway, I'm sure you're enjoying your truck as much as I'm enjoying mine. Thanks for the link to the photobucket pics! Cheers!

Blue,

There is a way to order the photos on Photobucket. There's a button just above the pictures that says "Organize:" and you probably see "Off." Drag the off "button" over to "on" and then you can move the pictures around all you want. When done, push that button back to "off."

Congrats on getting the truck done ... but you know ... you are never done!
