'53 3100

[robertsjm711]

Well guess it is time to create a build thread for my '53. I purchased a 1953 3100 last fall and have been wrenching on it ever since. It came with a S10 frame and some 283 engine parts and an old cast powerglide. After some debate and research I decided to go with a 5.3l and a Muncie M20. I tried to get it as low as I could without compromising drivability and sheet metal. It has an older passenger car 12 bolt rear with 2.73 gears that I do intend to change. I took some pictures along the way and will post them in this thread.

I know I have a lot of things to work out and build, but that is the "fun" part. and suggestions, resources or if you see something funky please don't hesitate to mention it. I'm here to learn and maybe help someone else.

Note: sorry about the random up-side-down pics, I haven't found a solution that works yet.
