Are you asking me? If so, 350 .040 over, Flat top forged pistons & rods, steel crank, Edelbrock power package (cam, aluminum heads, airgap intake, 600cfm carb) TH-400 trans, 373 rear soon to be 410. Has too much torque to get it to the road witht he leaf rear suspension. I'm hoping to put a triangulated 4 bar with air ride this winter. Also toying with the idea of tubbing it this winter.

Brainchild · 12-11-2004, 11:48 PM

I would like to see this section get a lot more action.Some nice trucks on the board now though,too bad mines not one of them

I am looking for a nice seat for my 49,the one in your truck looks good.I think I scored one from an 04 S-10 yesterday,I am going to see how well it works inside the 49

3100 special · 12-18-2004, 04:51 PM

1954 3100 Deluxe. Still got a long way to go but, it'll be worth it......I think.

Heatwave · 12-18-2004, 04:55 PM

Looks like a nice solid truck! It'll be great when your complete. Good luck and have fun....

Hey Leon, Can you get any better pics of your truck?

Don Meyer · 01-06-2005, 07:08 AM

My trk, chopped 3 1/2",doors lengthened 3",caddy fins on a narrowed 94 bed,350-330hp,700r4,camaro radiator. The original narrowed rear fenders will be attached to the bed.
Front suspension is a 86 Buick regal. 9" ford rear end w/Crysler leaf springs.
This will be my daily driver so I also added Vintage air & a 8 speaker stereo system.I am currently working on a fiberglass bed cover controlled by 2 servo motors.

OldJimmy57 · 01-12-2005, 12:24 AM

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW........ why would you do that to a bad ass truck?

Don Meyer · 01-13-2005, 10:57 PM

I made the changes to make the trk more comfortable(3" addedto cab & a/c),ride better,handle better & be faster. These changes will make it more suitable for a daily driver.
Plus you will never see an other one.
all comments welcome.....

52-4x4 · 01-24-2005, 02:50 PM

First time I tried to post a pic. This is the one I just bought. My other 52 I have had it since I was about 12, some 35 years. Plan to put it on an 84 Blazer chasis.
Hey, it worked!

crews · 01-28-2005, 05:34 AM

I am going to try to attach pics of my latest project....Hope it works...

1950 3100 Chevrolet.

Interesting history with this truck... I am the 2nd "official" owner..I have the original 1950 title..The story goes that the truck had never been more than 10 miles from the farm it's whole life until I loaded it on my trailer to bring it up to Missouri.
Truck is very solid and in amazing shape for a 55 year old truck. As well preserved as it is, it still needs some TLC. and some little Hot Rod touches...

Anyhow- plans are just doing a Shop Truck look...not going to paint it just yet...probably an S-10 Subframe- 350/350 combo and either Salt Flats or painted steelies...Goal is to be on the road and driveable ( reliable) by May.
