2 and 3/2 new trucks.
I just bought 2 and 3/2 trucks. 1 complete 1952 3100, 1 complete 1953 3100, all the body and bed for a 1956 short bed, and an extra complete short bed. I was only looking for doors for a 56, and he would only sell all, so I got it. Now I need to figure out what to do. I have a 56 project with Camaro subframe and rear, 350, T-350. The 53 runs and drives all stock, so I can park it for a while. The 52 I don't know yet, maybe future project. The 56 body is what I don't know what to do with, If I live long enough. Without a frame and drive trane, it would be great on a newer frame, but what frame? Or would that one be better on a frame built from scratch. The S-10 frame is good for the 52, but isn't it to narow for a 56. What is the best option for a 56?

Re: 2 and 3/2 new trucks.
I wasn't looking for another one, just parts for my 56. Now that I have them I'm trying to figure out what to do. I could sell one, and stash the rest since they are getting hard to find. I would like to get a plan on how to build the 56 before I decide if I keep it. My daughter said we should put that body on a 4x4 frame. Is there one that would work better? It is a short bed.
