Part 2 of the “big tex purchase”, another 1953 3100 3 window. This one has quite a bit of cab work done, I would stay ready for a skim coat and paint. When we picked it up it was 100% in pieces but with a few bolts… nuts…and tools, you guessed it… it Bolts Right…
53 Assembly: nothing to something
After checking on a for sale ad that included a 5 window cab it turned out to be quite the take. The seller really did not want to part with just the cab alone so it became a huge package deal for 2.5 trucks! This is the biggest pull for us so far, it took…
58 Huge Window
I’m sucker for a big window, although I don’t have one driving yet I really cannot wait to have one! We found a really nice guy selling a whole pile of old cars and trucks out in the country, one of them was this cab, front end and chassis from a 1958 Chevy Apache 31…
Wrecking since 1953
Sometimes when you’re in the old truck business a truck will come to you. This one is certainly not like ANY of the others that I have or want but a really nice man connected me with this truck and I couldn’t say no. I am not really sure what direction to go with it,…
Henry, the 1949 Chevy Pickup
The first truck in my fleet that sparked the fire, my 1949 Chevrolet 3100 pickup. It was barely running when when I found I but had all the right components and needed some attention. With a couple small items it was running around town like a champ Post 2. Chrome updates I wanted to share…
Larry, the 1951 Chevy 5 window
This was a fun, excited, exhausting, stiffening and really AWESOME buy of a truck for us. I came across a more repaired truck than we usually buy but and with my buddy and Dad in town for the weekend figured why not go for a ride. Every one if these truck purchases is a story,…
1957 Big Window Farmer
The big window style is really growing on me, these are SO cool! I was privileged to meet a couple of fellas that have been through more than a few trucks and were willing to part with this one. It was great to meet, talk and share stories with them, not to mention have a…
The Beauty Queen of ’51
This project truck is our 1951 Chevy 5 window. I’m not sure exactly why but she stood out and reminded me of a beauty queen waving us to buy her. Its a rough one but not the worst I have seen. Its completely original, has the original driveline, chassis, body, tired interior.. etc. Lots to…
1955 Chevrolet 3100
Welcome to the 55 revive! We picked up a 1955 chevy 3100 outside of Austin, enjoy our story on the revival back to life! Used the plasma cutter today to make easy work of removing the frame studs and the old leaf springs and perches. Wrapped up the install on the new Heidts 4 link…
1957 Big Window
It may not look like a lot of truck, but its really solid and came with a ton of spare parts! The truck is 1957 Chevy 3100 big back window, my first big window. The nice guy that sold the truck had already invested a bunch of work in the cab, it really wont take…
The 58er
This cool truck was our completion to having a truck from each year 1949 to 1959 (plus a few duplicates)! Its a little rusty but its all there; unfortunately a tree fell on the drivers front fender and ruin it but the rest seems great. It has a chevy 350 and TH350 under it currently,…
Aransas 56
Named from where we found her, this is our 1956 Chevy 3100 overhaul. The truck is actually in really nice overall shape, we purchased the truck from a really sweet family in Aransas Pass TX. A few things have been done so far but there will certainly be much more to come!
1953 Sunken Treasure
In the hunt for another truck we redefined what sunken treasure really means. This truck has been resting and waiting for us… for a few decades. Trying to disappear into the earth, we gave her the lift she needed and pulled her back into existence. The truck is a 1953 Chevy 3100 5 window and…
1954 Chevy 3100 Green Machine
I’ve been looking to find my first 1954 Chevy and was lucky enough to located it this weekend. I’m a sucker for the grill on this year, only 1954 and 1955 first look like this. These 54’s also have a solid windshield and the top of the bed rails went from a slanted to horizontal….
1951 Chevy 3100 Worth
Took an interesting ride to a unique place today and found a 1951 Chevrolet 3100 5 window for the collection. Truck is missing the glass and some emblems, but the rest is there and has some cool patina. The rear fenders were changed and the ones on the truck were pretty beat up, we convinced…
