Thread: New Guy From Florida

Tweet

hello eveyone.

i just found this site. seems cool, so i joined.
i have a 1957 chevy 3100 pick up truck. 350/TH350
i purchased it last february 2008, and have been working on it since.

the PO did a fair restoration, but nothing perfect. and i didnt want a trailer queen.

the things i have done to it since i owned it.

3" dropped front axle
power front disc brakes ( a real pain. LOL. )
new front bumper and hood ornament
upholster the seat
radio and speakers
new wheels and tires
restore and original steering wheel
tachometer
valve covers, air cleaner, and tune up
rebuild the carb
refinish the bed wood
fab a spare tire winch
fab custom door handles and window cranks
fab a gas tank shelf

future plans are to install a small tool storage box in the bed for a floor jack and tools, replace the door and vent windows, and maybe lower it a tad more front and back.
one day would like to put a 5 or 6 speed manual in place of the th350 auto.

to see pics of what i have done to it in the past year, click on my photobucket web album in my signature.

hope to meet new friends here and help out whenever i can, and get help when i need it.

thanks.
