    Hey all,

    So heres my new project...A 1953 Chevy 3600 3/4 ton Stakebed..Cosmetically its alright some rust spots here and their...same with the bed. But overall its in pretty good shape. Just got it running today after replacing master brake cylinder, water pump, fuel pump, and carberator...along with giving it the basic engine tune up..It doesnt look too good in the pics but thats just because i didnt get to cleaning it yet:eek: Im hoping to eventually use it as my farm truck and show truck of course:D ill post more pics as the restoration goes on and im sure ill have some questions to ask you all with this being my first chevy restore!

    Thanks!

    Aways nice to see someone saving old farm trucks ! .

    I saw a decent cab over yesterday , fresh from the back of an orchard , it has the Nu-Vue option (5 window cab) and looks like it's for sale ......

    Please keep us posted on your progress with pictures too .
