1950 3100 in VA

[Cantona357]

I have been looking for my first project for a long time and finally found it! I wanted something that wasn't too far past my skill level but still a challenge. The truck is in decent shape, especially compared to some of the trucks on this board. I simply don't have the skill for that sort of build yet. I have been lurking on the board for a few months now and wanted to put this build up for everyone to see.

The plans are for a basic build that will keep the budget low as I have an 8 month old and another on the way!

SBC 350, 700R4 Transmission, TCI front end, parabolic leaf spring kit in the rear.

I want to drop the truck as a whole about 4-5 inches, whitewall tires and "steelie" rims. The intention is for this to be a daily driver so it will have AC and power steering.

I would appreciate any suggestions, comments, criticism that anyone would like to give....

The first few pictures are how I got the truck...it ran and drove!
