Re: 1949-50 3100
Getting a little further in the dismantling I found something I'v never see before. The customer paid about 15K to have the truck restored last time and it looked like a mild on chassis paint job. I've take apart 50 or 60 of these truck and seen some really odd things for repairs. You could tell the owners occupation by what was used to fix the truck. But I have never seen a resto where instead of sheet metal they used roofing tar paper and ply wood with gobs of actual tar to seal up the rot. The kick panel was painted and covered ply wood inside and the wheel house is tar paper. But with that said Its still a good starting point.
