Well, it's a sad day. After much discussion and thinking we've decided to sell the 51. Many factors went into the decision, but it boils down to...
Nice project truck. No engine or trans. Body and frame are in good shape. Doors are solid. As typical with these the cab corners and floor need...
Not a lot going on with the truck recently. We've been too busy working on the house. We're trying to get it all spruced up so that we can sell...
Great work. I too am envious. Its much to cold to work outside on my truck. At the moment its partially covered in ice and snow. Spring can't get...
Score! I found a pair of OE inner fenders for $100. We are heading to Massachusetts on Saturday to grab them along with a set(brake, clutch and...
Thanks. I hadn't heard of the Car and Truck shop, my paper catalog request went in today. I'll add it to the others in my growing collection.
With winter now firmly entrenched I'm limited to doing research and making lists of parts we'll be needing. I am looking for some input from...

Here is something that the wife and I have been talking about since or last body shop "class". The instructor has said that a good deal of the...
Nice! My wife wants to steal that color for our truck. Would you mind sharing the brand/color name?
We've been lax about posting pics lately. Lots going on getting ready for the winter. Anyway we've been working on the front fenders at class....
While I was hoping for it to be some unusual option I figured it would turn out to be something mundane like that. I've been thinking about it...
I got the replacement axle shaft installed in the new rear end along with new brake guards and a new differential cover. I'm going to wait on...
We did a lot of dent repair and paint removal on the hood and fender we brought into the class. Something I missed was all of the accumulated...
Thanks again! I was thinking that I'd take the doors off sooner rather than later. Now I think they'll stay where they are at. Having the...
Thanks for the advice about extra bracing shadams. I read your thread and you came through your floor pan experience in great shape. How long...
Started to tear it down a bit this weekend so we could take a few things into the shop at school. It's amazing how easily this came apart. As...
Last night was the second of our auto body classes. We got to learn about and practice with body fillers. What we lack in skill we certainly...
I think so. I'll know for sure on Monday. I need to pull the old one and bring it in to match it up. Its listed at $75. Much better than a new...
The rear end may ot have been such a bargain after all. It seems that one of the axle shafts is bent. I couldn't tell untill I got it up on...
We havent done any real nuts and bolts work on the truck but I have gone through all of the pieces and parts we have. Now I know what we have and...
These were in a box of Chevy 3100 parts that I bought. They aren't for the 51 3100. I'd sell them but would like to label them correctly. Can...
I still haven't done anything on the truck. While we were on the road there was a few big storms here at home. We spent yesterday cleaning out...

The time to go and get the truck is getting closer. We leave early Saturday. Its 1197 miles to where the truck is. 20 hours each way. While...
