New guy from Washington with a '53

[Rambow]

Back in November- I made a sight unseen deal with a guy at work to buy his '53 Chevy 3100 truck thats been sitting for the last 13 years. $500. The catch? it was ~400 miles away.

My wife has always wanted one of these- so it was a no brainer. Last weekend after planning and plotting all all winter- A friend, my son & I ran down to Bend, Or. 6hr down... 8hr back loaded up.











'53 3100
NOM 235 (unknown year)
4spd (granny 1st)

its been sitting for the last 13 years- and the brakes lines were rusted out when it was parked- so we'll start there- clean out the gas tank & lines, see if i can get it running again- then bend up some new brake lines & replace all the rubber hoses- see if i can make it go down the road... then we'll queue up going through suspension, etc etc to make it safe.
