Passed this beautiful truck a few days ago.

Wanted to share some pictures of my 1951 Ford F1 that was once my great great grandfathers farm truck!

I went to see the big boy locomotive do a whistle stop this morning, and as a bonus found this around the corner.

My 59 GMC that I've had for 28 years now. It's now sitting on a Choppin Block extreme air ride chassis with accuair e-level with ride height sensors, 408 stroker LS motor with PRC247 heads, Texas Speed tsunami cam, and a fast lsxrt 102/102 combo. 4l80e with an FTI 3600 billet triple disc converter, 14/13" disc brakes, and a 9" with 4.11 posi. 20" Detroit steel wheels with Nitto 555G2 tires. Holley terminator x max, Dakota Digital gauges, and vintage air with power windows. I've put around 5100 miles on it so far in about a year. It's definitely a fun ride.

This is my father in laws old truck.

This is my long term project 😬

Hi all, I'm new to this subreddit and I’m reaching out for some help/advice. My dad passed away at the end of 2024 and left behind his unfinished project, a 1956 Chevrolet 3100. VIN is V3A56L009086.

It’s been sitting at my mom’s house for quite some time and we are all finally at a point where we are ready to move forward and figure out what to do with the truck (grief is one hell of a ride). My dad completely disassembled it in the hopes of one day restoring the pieces. While I haven’t taken a complete inventory of all the pieces, there are some pics I took of the current state of the truck.

I’m not sure how much the truck is worth given its condition, hence my reaching out to this community in the hopes of a rough, ballpark estimate. We are not looking to sell, just to be clear, just for anybody’s insights/thoughts. It is located in Lancaster, CA currently. Any advice/guidance is appreciated. Thanks all.

I paid $1500 last year for this truck with a functional dump, functional brakes, and a running engine. My intent at the time, and still is, to use it mostly for moving material around on the farm. The lack of a title, rough body work, and old tires didn't bother me much for that.

I'm wondering now about fixing it up further for local highway use. There's a lot of deferred maintenance to deal with, and the title issue, but neither is out of the question.

Right now, I'm mostly wondering what I even have. What year, what series, what engine, and anything else you can gather from the pics, would be useful info to me. I'm very familiar with older pickups, tractors, skidsteers, and vans. Medium-duty trucks are a bit of an unknown to me.

Thinking about moving on, but my brain and my heart ain’t on speaking terms. 347 stroker, 5speed, coil over 4 wheel discs, A/C and power windows. Be honest, is she a keeper or cash out while I can?

It’s a good start to a restoration. I’m going to clean up the interior first and add a bunch of bolts that it’s missing to settle down the rattles and squeaks
