Re: 51' 3100 build in PA New to Site

6-22 back for my annual post! Took the fam out and loaded up 950lbs of gravel in the truck. The truck unloaded weighs about 3600lbs. used the gravel to lay under my kids playhouse Im building them. here is my daughter cleaning off pounds of bird shat that gathered on my truck. Its a never ending battle trying to keep my trucks in storage. Either they set in rain or get ****ted on somehow!

Hoping to maybe tear truck down this winter. was going to put some vortec heads on engine, new intake, clean it all back up. Then tear front clip off, clean frame, bag front. Maybe just stop there and attack the back half the following year. I'm also puttin a blazer disc rear set up in and possibly putting a different fuel tank in. I plan to redo the interior as well.

Very ironic story... not pertaining to this truck, but my other truck. So if any of you followed hardtimes, guy had a fender bender, I did up some parts for him to replace it.... hold that thought. So about 5.5 years ago I started getting into these trucks, bf I built this 51' I was gathering parts. I bought a hood door and random parts off a guy around pittsburgh area. I seen some more random parts on CL today, I go out there and deja vu its the same guy I bought parts of 5.5 years ago. SO the hood I got off him that sat the whole time, ended up getting used on the 49' that got wrecked. So it was a full circle type of story I felt.
