First Project

[aznightrider]

I am new to the board, and want to share my new project. It is a 52 Chevy 3100. Right now it has the stock 235/3 spd in it. I know I want to do an engine swap. I have a 350 that I rebuilt 5 years back that has been on a stand waiting for the right vehicle to go into. I also have a 292 that needs a refresh that could go into this too. I have a 2004r out of a 1985 Olds 442 that I will be running with either engine. I am not looking to race this truck, just cruise back and forth to work. Here is what I am starting out with. It was painted like this when I bought it.

The only bad rust I found is in the cab corners.



I am still trying to figure out the suspension/frame. I like the idea of an s-10 frame, but this one is straight. I like the Scott's Hotrod Superslam IFS so that is a possibility. The rear is going to be a 4 link set up. That is a long ways off though. Hope you enjoy the pictures, I will be posting more as the build progresses. Thanks for looking.
