old (member) new truck 1951 3100 deluxe
i have been spending the last 21 years in the 67-72 and square body and in the middle of a complete restoration of my 71 cst blazer 4x4.
but now my most recent purchase is a 1951 chevy 3100 truck 216 4-speed heater, 5 window cab, mostly all original. anyway i will be relaying on you all for an education on this model year . my plans are to perfect it in many ways. it has a minor front main leak and the speedometer cable slips out of trans..?? why i dont know as i haven't had time to look into it. another thing it it is missing the two front parking lamps. one more thing the starter makes a terrible noise when it engages ?? oh and because of the past ?? 40 years of beer intake i choose to cut down the steering column, or loose weight... lol yeah "thats not happening" any way heres a few pictures of this rust free cal/arizona truck any and all advice or recommendations will be appreciated. pics to follow. thank you coyote dave or yote1234

The bad thing with a small steering wheel and stock steering is that it takes a lot more effort to turn at slow speeds and your chest muscles get more of a workout than they may want. Been there done that had the sore muscles.
What a great looking truck and it is great to see that someone didn't stick a bunch of truck fru fru on it as you see too much of now.
