1953 Chevy 3100 Pickup Project
You might have seen this advertised in various forms / various places over the last few months but now i have finally decided to sell it and have priced it accordingly.
What you get - 
1953 Chevy 3100 pick up cab / bed / chassis with a clear title and Nova
The cab - Has been modified somewhat and is missing its floor pan and firewall (original firewall supplied) these parts were cut out by the previous owner in order to channel the cab to lower the truck on a budget without effecting standard suspension geometry. The dash is in good shape and relatively in tact. Original seat is supplied and fuel tank. Steering column and wheel are supplied along with pedal assemblies. Doors are solid and have door cards on. cab is solid although it does need its cab corners replacing. over all great patina (one of the best ive seen) Full glass kit is needed.  
The Pickup bed - Overall very solid. small repair needed to one side where the angle iron sits. although i think this adds to the patina/look. Rear fenders in good solid condition (i have 4 so you can pick your favourites)
The Chassis - Good solid original chassis. no signs of rot just surface rust. The front has been modified. it has been cut and 'Z' as shown in picture. Please note the truck is sat on the chassis rails as both rear axle and front clip have been removed.
SBC 350/363 

Small block Chevy 350 cubic inch over bored plus 80 making it 363 cubic inch which equates to roughly 6. 2 litre.  Balanced and blueprinted all GM hardware except for the pro comp 4 valve relief forget flat top Pistons. Speed pro cam which makes the engine run very lumpy at idle but comes on strong at roughly 2000 rpm. Compression has been set at 10 to 1 with heads milled . 20 over with new valve train and high lift alloy rockers. Intake system consists of Edelbrock Victor Jr topped with a Holley 650 cfm double pumper carb .  The hooker super comp headers are a nice addition to the engines breathing coupled to a nice exhaust makes for an awesome sound. Mileage is said to be 7 k miles since this build in America but I'm not sure. Brand new power steering pump and alternator.

Now the bad bit - The guy i bought this off said she is burning oil. so investigation is needed into that. Please bare in mind this is a £3/4000 engine freshly built.  

Video available of this engine smoking tires on a 67 c10 last year before being replaced with a supercharged LS.  


TH400
Not alot I can tell you about this. bought it to send for a rebuild - never got that far!
Donar Chassis 
Donar chassis bought simply for the rear axle and Mustang front clip. Im told this chassis had a 39 chevy 1. 2T on it. the rear notch has been done badly. again i only bought it for these parts.  
Price - I believe I have set this at a very fair price so VNO will need to be very near if i am to consider them. My price breakdown is as follows so would consider splitting.  Cab / chassis / rear tub / wings - £3500 (with title and nova.  SBC Engine - £1200TH400 - 2009' Ford axle - £400Mustang front clip - £400
Total - £5700 
Everything is available to view in Swansea most days and nights. I can be contacted on - 07782506828. Please no silly offers. if you can buy these all day much cheaper complete then please go buy them all day elsewhere. This is a big project but it only take a quick visit to farmfresh to see the price these things can fetch on air ride / nice interior / big steelies.  
Delivery possible.
