Re: just bought a 55 chevy 3100 ( first series)

Sounds like you have a keeper there!

Start with the end in mind. Figure what you want the truck to be like when its finished, and what you are going to use it for. Super low may not work on rough roads and stuff like that.

Look at heaps of pikkys and articles till you have the theme and the look that YOU are happy with. You are doing the truck for you, not to impress people you dont really know. So if you want 20 inch rims, go for it, likewise if you want 15 inch chromies and whitewalls, go for it.

My experience is that its WAY WAY cheaper to do it once the way you want it, than to redo it two or three times to get what you really want

Good luck with it all

Cheers
Todd
