I'm very excited about my new '50 Chevy 3100, I've been wanting an old truck for ages, I got this one on June 24, 2005.
It is in very good shape, considering its over 55 years old now. The original engine has been replaced with a '59 model 235, but it still has the original transmission & rearend. More to come on it later, as its restored.
