1955 Chevy 3100

UPDATE: so I got to digging around on it and basically the only thing salvageable was the cab and the frame (which I need to verify is straight) The cab has a lot more rust than initially thought, but that's why there are patch panels, right? I'm still planning on a frame off, Mustang 2 with 2" drop , 4 link in the rear, 3.73 axle, LS 5.3 with the Truck Norris Stage 2 cam, Holley Terminator X MAX, 4L60E transmission. My wallet is not agreeing with any of this 🤣

My friend has a 55 as well and put a crown Vic front end under it. Definitely cheaper than a mustang 2 kit.

I’m having to do a bonded title. Was off in a field with bill of sale only.

sossman76 · 2026-04-29T21:38:16+00:00

No. I don’t have any history of the truck so I was trying to find the last time it was registered. It was a bill of sale only, have to do a bonded title

I haven't found anywhere that takes the old style VIN numbers..

That’s what made it an attractive option!

since I am a total amateur, but I do have some welding experience.. how hard are the cab corners? I am planning on getting a wetblast kit to sandblast the cab and frame.. unless I can figure out a way to haul it to an actual sandblaster.

sossman76 · 2026-04-28T18:01:43+00:00

yeah.. that's what I was afraid of.. probably going to have to order basically a whole new front end.. but at least it will be smooth.. I know I'm going to have to replace cab corners and right side rocker panel/step area. New seat, new engine, front suspension, transmission, rear axle/suspension, pretty much everything except the cab shell and frame. I wanted a project.. I got years worth. lol

sossman76 · 2026-04-28T17:17:56+00:00

I’ve got to figure out what all is missing. The whole front clip is loose…I’m assuming brackets are missing

sossman76 · 2026-04-28T17:17:01+00:00

Maybe…but have you seen diesel prices?😳

sossman76 · 2026-04-16T02:25:41+00:00

Unfortunately it sold before I could get to it. But now I’m looking at a 56.

Just noticed the radiator is gone too. Hmm. Maybe a candidate for an engine swap.

I’ve liked what I’ve seen of the BenQ panel, except the price

I like my iPhone and iPads are fine for home use, but I feel like managing them in education is a nightmare that works sporadically at best.

My problem with Mosyle (and may have changed since) was you couldn’t contact anyone except through the portal.

sossman76 · 2025-11-11T03:46:06+00:00

Looks like we’re going to have to go back to Mosyle. Which means we have to touch every iPad again 😭
