So, I've been putting off starting a build thread for entirely to long. We've been working on her since memorial day weekend, as time and $ allows. trying to take as many pictures as I can, but end up getting caught up in the work and forgetting quite often Pretty plain build, but it is my first. 52 5 window chevy. 350, hopefully 5 speed. will be on an s10 frame, with air ride. will post up pics of the truck when i bought tonight.
good start.. love the old body s10 rims on whitewalls and painted red.. they should look slick with some rings
nice start. keep us posted on the progress. oh, and sometimes a sawzawl is needed to cut that tough citrus. nie work
Actually those are mock up wheels, I have a set of chrome smoothies that are going to go on it. When you dont have a knife, hafta make do right? haha
nice! i was lookin for a chevy truck like that but all the ones i found were really rusty. then i saw that Studebaker....
OH MY GOD!!!! Everyone knows you cut oranges with a Skilsaw, not a Sawzall (said in your best Robin Williams gay voice from Good Morning Vietnam). Other than that, I got nothing to say. Butch/56sedandelivery.
Its about time you start posting some progress! Now theres proof we dont just drink beer at the shop.
Krown here welded up the cab mounts for me the other night. Little bit of work left to do on the floor, more pics will be up this weekend. might even look like a truck?
Nice truck. I thought I would chime in and give you some good mojo on your first build. I am workin on my first as well, and it happens to be a '49 GMC LWB Pickup. Glad to see another FNG working on a similar project.
Looks good. I PMed you before checking out the thread. Our mounts looks exactly like yours, and the cab sits about the same height as well.
sn33kyp3t3; thanks thanx man. hoping to have rockin down the road by christmas. you have a build thread for yours? Noclassic. thanks for all the pics and help so far, has given me food for thought while bored at work
We got A LOT done this weekend. got everything finished on the cab, and cab bolted down, bed is almost done & mounted, temperamental welder had other ideas than having it off jack stands and having a full roller this weekend. only had 2 mounts to weld up:/ Going to try next weekend to fab up a radiator support &get firewall cut to have motor and trans sitting in the whole thing as well. Still need to move the rear end forward a a little more than 2 inches to center it in the wheel wells, door hinges need some attention, both are sagged out a little, and have some fender to hood alignment issues that need to be dealt with.
Hopefully the welder lead will come in tomorow, and we can get the rear mounts welded up this weekend sometime.
rear mounts are on, Sh'e finally off the jackstands and can bne rolled around! I'll have picture up soon
