New to the forum.

Just an introductory post before I start blowing up feeds for information.

Not new to mechanics or modding, however I am new to fabricating. I just picked up, what I think, would be a pretty cool little project. It's a '57 4100 mobile home toter.

I'll be looking to pick some brains about suspension and frame components, and meeting some of you fine folks. Thanks for looking!

Josh

Very cool and welcome! Dunno how possible it would be, but I'd love to see a custom stubby fleetside bed on the back of that thing - would look so cool!

Welcome. I would keep it as stock as possible, but that's me. Here are two build threads on this site that come to mind and a photo of a friends on a mid 90's 1 ton 4wd chassis with 454 4 speed and alcoa rim adaptors.

Welcome to the forum from Bastrop! I have been watching your nice 4100 on CL for a while now, just didn't have a way to haul it home.

Re: New to the forum.

Love your truck and glad your not closer cause in my mind 1200 is a steal of a deal.
