New '48 project

[LRRP]

OK guys - this is my first post here. I have never restored an old vehicle before, but I figure I can handle it. I know I'm gonna have questions & this looks like a good place to post them, but before I do that, I'll post a few starting pics.

Here's my 1948 3100. I got it from a guy in the Dallas area & didn't get home until after dark. Most of the parts are there & have been blasted & are ready for fixing up. The chassis is already painted. Engine is a 216.

My plan is to go pretty close to original, but with a few upgrades like 12 vlt wiring & maybe a new rear end. My daughter is excited about working on it with me.
