New From Minnesota
I am starting on the restoration on my 1956 3100 stepside that I brought back from Arizona in 1976. It was formerly a Arizona Highway Dept truck with a 6cyl engine 3 on the tree converted to a 283 and TH350 then blown apart totally rust free. Now its 2021 and I started redoing the chassis with TCI suspension and a 350 bored 0.030 to 355 and added to Gearstar 700r4 with Pontiac rear end with disc brakes. This winter will be spent getting body, fenders etc. ready for paint.

Re: New From Minnesota
Welcome to this great forum, you will find lots of good information and classifieds here. I always liked the 3100 vintage trucks, that will be a good build. I am in the St Cloud area, what part of Minnesota are in? Thanks Chuck

Re: New From Minnesota
It sounds like a cool rig and you've definitely had it for a while. Got any pictures of what it's like before you started on the restoration? Welcome aboard. Hopefully you can show your progress in a build thread.
