Hello All
My name is Chuck and my wife is Ruth, we live in the Socal Mtns. and next weekend we will be picking up our newest toy. A solid 57 3100 1/2 ton that needs a new home. We re not strangers to hotrods or fabing, just new to the site. We presently have a 23 bucket, but dont play with it much anymore, and the 3100 will take its place. Here's some pics.
    Oh yea.......and the bucket.  Hope to get some good ideas here for the build, been a Ford guy most of my life. Guess its time to try a Chevy. |

Re: Hello All
Looks like a good unmolested truck to start with.
What are your plans for it? Keep us informed and as you probably have figured out we like pictures.
