Hello from Oz. Looking for a 3100

[Mikado]

Hello guys & girls

Im from the Gold Coast of Australia. Retired police officer, married with two daughters. Really happy to find this site.

Firstly, Im a happy man because I have the wifes approval to restore an old Chevy pickup. Something I want to involve my kids in. I'm a big fan of the 3100 sidestep between 1947 & 1954. I've been looking around Australia for a project vehicle but all I've been able to find are Custom 3100's. They have already been done. I suppose I might get lucky if I can find someone who has one with the intention of restoring but have changed their minds,

So Ive been looking in the U.S. and have found 2 companies that look after the locating and buying process for you but if possible Id rather save $2000 and find it myself.

I would like to find a running, stock standard pickup with a healthy chassis and most chrome intact. Just a good base to start with. Reasonable Body rust in normal places doesnt matter. Just an old trundler.

I noticed the For Sale section is empty. Are there any good web sites where I might start looking for an old pickup? A barn find. My wife is a freight forwarder and is up to date with import/export laws so we have that covered.


Cheers
