    Hello, I have a 1953 3100 I have been toying with for around 5 years or so. I would like to finish some day so I thought I would start here. Put some pictures in the photo board under chris22.

    Thanks, Ron and ken summer is coming and it's time to get it drivable again. I need to get some more parts and maybe a second job to be driving this year but it's possible.

    Thanks, Chris!

    I never noticed that feature before! Yes, I'm not to observant!;)
    COOOL looking ride, my man! I like "zoom-zoom"!:cool:
    Looks like you don't need much help, but I'm glad you're on board for those of us thinking of "updating".
    Soon, you too will be rolling down the highway!
    Thanks for the photos, and WELCOME!

    Zig,
    I am glad you asked where the pics were because I had looked 2 or 3 times and didn't want to look dumb after Ken had found them within a few minutes of the first post. I have already met my quota for looking dumb this month. Anyway I am glad I did find them because I am right now looking to build a speaker box and I don't have a behind the seat gas tank either. That one gives me some good ideas.
    Chris, I really like what you have done to your truck. I can tell by looking that you have an attention to detail that will pay off big time in the finished product.

    Good point, Zig. I can always count on you to point these things out.
    It's kinda like when my doctor prescribed a beer a day to keep my kidney's functioning well. I am working on June 3rd, 2013 right now. Same with the dumb deal.

    Robert, I'm running a 1973 C10 12 bolt with custom back space 5x5 rims. Not the best way to go it's a little to close to hitting the finder but the springs work great. Zig I need more than help I have wiring to do plus all the little things we forget like the pile of parts I don't remember taking off.
