Hi, new to the forums. Here is my "new" truck:
http://s1318.photobucket.com/user/perldrivr/library/1948%20Chevy%203800?sort=2&page=1I bought this on my dad's estate sale, and don't have any history on it unfortunately. I wasn't even planning on buying a truck that day, but I watched this one selling, and thought it was going cheap and it was cute, so I bought it on the spot without any idea what I was doing. I think I got a good buy though.
It looks to be all original and pretty complete, not too much rust. I will be hanging around here looking for advice while I try to get her going again. My current plan is to fix her up mechanically, and leave the body mostly as is for now and drive it - sort of that "survivor" look. I may give her a full restore someday.
Step one was to get her rolling on all four - that is accomplished. Next I need to go through the brakes. I want them working before I attempt to get her moving on her own again.
