Re: 1952 1 Ton Rebuild

Yeah, it is quite a bit straighter.
Here is the best picture I have of it at the moment.
It looks as though it's all surface rust too, so it should clean up nicely. (Key word: should)
But I can't thank that guy enough. he was showing me his truck, and explaining that he bought 2 3100's out of Tennessee for $1000, and he's selling what's left of the parts.
Honestly, I kind of feel guilty; I didn't want to take advantage of his generosity..
But seeing all those parts started to get the gearz cranking in my head, and these really cool ideas started forming.

For instance: One of the tailgates I found just sitting in the mud has cancer all over the "outside".
So what I'm going to do, is cut the tailgate in half, and use the inside piece as the back of the bed, so it says Chevrolet on either end of the bed.
