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…

Chevy pickup trucks in the Advanced Design Era with years ranging from 1947 to 1954
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…
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,…
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…
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…
Austin Clean 1952 Chevy
Named by where we found it, this is a super clean and complete 1952 Chevrolet 3100. I was actually really excited to find this truck, its the first I have found with a few of the extra options on it. This truck has the vent windows, great push button handles and the fender cutout for…
Flames 1952 Chevrolet 3100
Today we added a new truck to the fleet, a 1952 Chevy 3100 with a classic flame paint job. It’s more of a 20 footer than anything else, the Texas heat has really done a number on this paint. Looking closely it really appears that the primer/bondo they put on the first time around was…
